In Britain there were waves of migration by the Angles, Saxons, Jutes and Frisians, all of which were Germanic.
The Germanic groups crossed the River Rhine (the boundary of the empire) when it was frozen. The Roman had weakened this frontier because they needed to redeploy their troops in this area to Italy to fend off an invasion of Italy by an Ostrogoth king.
The Germanic peoples lived to the north of the Roman Empire. Only three Germanic groups were allowed to settle within the Roman Empire: the Franks, the Visigoths and the Ostrogoths. The Germanic peoples who begun the invasion of the western part of the Roman empire with the invasion of Gaul in 406 were the Vandals, the Sueves and the Burgundians. The Alans, who were Iranian-speakers, were also part of this invasion. Al these peoples came from central Europe. The Alemanni (Germanics from southern Germany) took advantage of this invasion to seize Lorraine (in northwestern France) and Switzerland. The Angles, the Saxons and the Jutes from northern Germany and the Frisians from northern Holland (all of them were Germanic) migrated to Britain in waves and took it over.
