It was the Franks. They took over the whole of Gaul at the expense of the Alemanni, Visgoths and Burgundians, who were Germanics who had settled in Gaul. They also took over southern Germany and Switzerland. The Frankish kingdom was turned into the Carolingian empire. The pope asked Charlemagne (king of the Franks) to crush the rule of the Lombards (another Germanic people). In exchange the pope gave him Italy and crowned him emperor. Charlemagne also invaded part of norther Spain. The then invaded northern Germany. His empire covered most of continental western Europe, except for Portugal, most of Spain and Scandinavia.
