empire\n“Barbarian” Germanic general Odoacer deposed the last Western Roman emperor, Romulus Augustus\nWho were these barbarians who are charged with ultimately bringing down the Roman empire?\nWho were the barbarians?\nBarbarians – term applied by the Romans to any group they considered uncivilized\nFrom a Greek word meaning “anyone who is not Greek”\nBarbarians were all of the groups/tribes living in Europe\nEurope was not populated like it is today\nDifferent tribes were migrating around the continent\nFor example: “Germanic tribes” describes a lot of different tribes who lived in the general area now called Germany, but they did not think of themselves as “Germans,” and went on to eventually found completely different countries, such as the Germanic Franks founding France\nClick to edit Master title style\nRomans had a long history of conquering the peoples of Europe\nJulius Caesar conquered the Gauls of what is now called France\nThose European tribes who remained independent of Rome were considered barbaric by the Romans\nEuropean Migrations\nFirst phase of migrations (circa 300-500 CE)\nGermanic peoples of northern Europe who settled throughout Europe (territory and border lands of Roman empire)\nSuch as the Alamanni, Alans, Angles, Burgundians, Franks, Goths (Ostrogoths and Visigoths), Jutes, Langobards, Lombards, Saxons, Suebi, Vandals\nSecond phase of migrations (circa 500-700 CE)\nSlavic tribes of eastern Europe\nSuch as the Bulgars\nDivision into phases not very important\nThese tribes took centuries to eventually settle\nBy the time they settled, a new migratory wave—the Viking invasions—took place starting in the 700s\nClick to edit Master title style\nClick to edit Master text styles\nSecond level\nThird level\nFourth

For example, the Goths originated in Scandinavia.  By 150 C.E., the Goths were living on the southern shores of the Baltic Sea.  By 200 C.E., the Goths were in southeastern Europe along the Black Sea.  Here, the Goths split, with those living in the east called Ostrogoths, and those in the west called Visigoths.\nGermanic Culture\nEconomy\nHunters and farmers\nWar culture\nTribes always fighting one another\nReligion\nValhalla – warriors’ heaven\nAnimal and human sacrifice\nGods survive in our days of the week\nGradually converted to Christianity through exposure to the Roman empire and Christian missionaries\nTiu = Tuesday\nWoden = Wednesday\nThor = Thursday\nFrig = Friday\nGermanic Justice\nTrial by ordeal\nInnocence proven by survival of a trial\nFor example, retrieving an object from boiling water or walking over hot coals\nIf the person survived the ordeal, or healed quickly, the verdict was innocent\nModern era version: Salem Witchcraft Trials\nTrial by combat\nWinner of the fight is innocent of the crime, or winner of the dispute\nModern era version: Dueling\nThese trials survived through the Middle Ages in Europe\nAngles, Saxons, and Jutes\n400s\nMoved into Britannia as the Roman empire declined\nGave the area its name\nEngland = “Angle’s land”\nOld English language\nMost closely related to Frisian, a German dialect\nBeowulf\nThe Burgundians\nLate 400s to 530s\nFounded a kingdom in southern Gaul (modern France) in the Valley of the Rhone\nThe Vandals\nLed by Genseric (lived circa 389 CE-477 CE)\nCrossed Gaul, to Spain, to north Africa\nEstablished Vandal kingdom around Carthage and on islands such as Corsica and Sardinia\nFamously sacked Rome in 455 C.E.\nAfter murder of Emperor Valentinian III\nPlundered city’s riches – origin of term vandalism\nKidnapped emperor’s widow, Licinia Eudoxia, and daughters, Eudocia and Placidia\nEudocia was married off to Huneric, the son of Genseric\nFinally conquered by the Eastern Roman empire in 533 CE\nThe Franks\nKingdom in Gaul\nBecame known as “Fr","cbCaidy5cYSdCHMA","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaidy5cYSdCHMA","ppt",6888960,24,"English","# The Migration Period in Europe, 300-700 C.E.\n## End of the Roman Empire (476 C.E.)\n## Who Were the Barbarians?\n## European Migrations (300-700 C.E.)\n### Two Phases of Migrations\n## Germanic Culture\n### Economy and War Culture\n### Religion and Days of the Week\n### Germanic Justice\n## Name Origins and Key Peoples\n### England: Angles, Saxons, and Jutes\n### France: Franks\n### Vandalism: Vandals\n## Review Questions","[{\"question\":\"What traditional date marks the end of the Western Roman Empire?\",\"answer\":\"The traditional date given is 476 C.E.\"},{\"question\":\"What does the term “barbarian” originally mean in the Roman context?\",\"answer\":\"It was a term Romans applied to groups they considered uncivilized, and it traces to a Greek word meaning “anyone who is not Greek.”\"},{\"question\":\"How did England get its name?\",\"answer\":\"According to the material, England was named as “Angle’s land,” from the Angles who moved into Britannia as the Roman empire declined.\"}]","The Barbarian Invasions - The Migration Period in Europe, 300-700 C.E. | PPT",1792380911,37]
