- "refers to the movement of so-called barbarian peoples—including the Huns, Goths, Vandals, Bulgars, Alani, Suebi, and Franks—into what had been the Western Roman Empire. In the period (476–800) there was no Roman (or Holy Roman) emperor in the West. The Angles, Germanic immigrants moved into central and Northern England and East Anglia. This migration led to their new homeland being named after them, from which the name "England" derives.
