When the Holy Roman empires was obliterated, it was destroyed by tribes of Slavs, Vandals, and other Gothic tribes, who made a point of coming in from a north-east or north-west direction and BYPASSING the northern areas of the Empire, since it had no great value to them aside from random plundering due to it being a branch-off and was mainly used as farming and small towns; the "meat" of the Empire lay in the East and West. As such: there was, in fact, no "northern" Roman Empire. The empire, when it was eventually split and destroyed due to a huge number of causes -best outlined in the book The History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire, written by Edward, Gibbon- was separated into the Western and Eastern halves. The Eastern half came to be known as The Byzantium Empire. The Western half became known as Mediolanum. This last attempt at a more wide-reaching "civiliaztion" ended in ~480AD. After that time, it would become informally, and then formally known as "The Dark Ages."

Much of Germany, all of Scotland and Ireland were never part of the Roman Empire. The Jutes, Angles and Saxons, for example, invaded Roman Britain from unconquered lands of Europe; the European Franks invaded the areas now called France; and the Huns and the Visigoths invaded other parts of the 'European' extent of the Roman Empire in the first 500 years AD. The fall of the Western part of the Roman Empire as often dated as 476, but individual local sovereignties had already begun to emerge by this time. After the Romans, different groups struggled for supremacy. However, not one of them achieved a united Europe. * For more information, see Related links below this box.
