Pope Leo III crowned Charlemagne Emperor in St. Peter's Basilica, in Rome, on December 25, 800 AD. At the time he crowned Charlemagne, he referred to the empire as the Roman Empire. Today, historians call Charlemagne's empire the Carolingian Empire, but at the time, people in Western Europe called it the Roman Empire, as Pope Leo III had. The people of the Byzantine Empire of the time, who had always called their country the Roman Empire, and would as long as it existed, were not very happy about this. The Carolingian Empire divided into France, and a country we call the Holy Roman Empire, but which called itself the Roman Empire for some time.

The fall of the western part of the Roman Empire begun in 406 AD when Germanic peoples (the Vandals, Sueves and Burgundians) and an Iranian-speaking people (the Alans) crossed the river Rhine and invaded Gaul. These peoples and other Germanic peoples, the Alemanni, Visigoths and Franks eventually took over all the lands of this part of the empire except for Italy. The Angles, Saxons, Jutes and Frisians, also Germanic peoples, migrated to Britain in waves and took it over. Historians use 476 as a conventional date for the end of the western part of the Roman Empire. This was the year when the last emperor in the west, Romulus Augustus was deposed. The eastern part of the Roman Empire was not affected by these invasions and continued to exist for another 1,000 years.
In 406 the Vandals, Sueves (both Germanic peoples) and the Alans (Iranian speakers) crossed the river Rhine (the frontier of the Roman Empire) and invaded Gaul. The Alemanni, another Germanic people, took advantage of this to take over Switzerland and Alsace, in northeaster France. The Burgundians, also a Germanic people, settled in an area which is now in Germany west of the river Rhine (Rhineland-Palatinate). The exact date when this occurred is not known. It is known that they were there from 411. In 443 the Romans resettled them in Sapaudia which is thought to correspond to present day Savoy, in eastern France.

The Ostrogoths fell under Hun rule. After the fall of the Hun Empire the Visigoths also settled in the Roman Empire (in eastern Austria).The Goths were one of the Germanic peoples.
