@lowenherzhendrik9708 Yet gothic has nothing to do with the Ghoths. It was a, Italian word, describing the new French architecture movement of the time as "gothic". And not a kind one, as it basically meant "barbarian", because it did not followed the principe of Roman architecture. So early gothic architecture meant French architecture, and it spread all over Europe and elsewhere, proving Italians wrong. One of the most beautifull gothic building outside of France being the Köln cathedral (they should wash it thow) and Milano cathedral that i had the chance to see, one of my favorite gothic church in the world.
@@18Hongo I'm pretty sure all east germanic tribes like the goths, burgundians, vandals came from sweden. They migrated on water GOTland (named after the goths) and then migrated on water to poland. And I think that a long time ago there was a place în south-cenntral sweden called ostrogothia
@leonardo_fratila I'm aware that there are parts of Sweden with "Goth" in the name, but whether that comes from the fact that they used to be inhabited by Goths, or whether the name was applied later, is something I'm less sure of. I think there are other people's from Sweden with similar names (Gutes, Geats, Jutes etc) who may be the origin of those names instead (although I vaguely remember reading that they may have both descended from a community that lived on both sides of the Baltic, so it's entirely possible that they're all basically the same people, some of whom trickled over to mainland Europe from Sweden over a couple of centuries). "Ostrogothia" would not have come from Gothic inhabitants: the terms "Visigoth" and "Ostrogoth" were Latin labels that the Romans applied to describe the Goths in the Western empire and the Eastern empire respectively. The Goths themselves didn't create those labels, and they were only applied well after the Goths were established inside the empire, and their original tribal distinctions (the Thervingi and the Greuthungi) had broken down.

@@sebe2255 The reasons for the conquest of the visigothic kingdom could not be understated. There were major political strife within the kingdom’s later life span that saw a lot of civil wars over kingship. This is why in the battle of guadelete, half of Roderic’s men betrayed him and his nobility and killed him and most of his nobles in the process. After Roderic’s death this made every village and city fight for its self which were feeble resistance against the Muslim horde. For example Achila II and his men died fighting the Muslims and got their city razed to the ground, others like Theodomir, a viceroy of king Roderic successfully repulsed the Muslims to get a favorable peace treaty of ruling Orihuela as a vassal Christian kingdom, but this was taken over 60 years later. It was the band of the surviving members of Roderic’s nobility of men that fled to cantanbria (since it was a visigothic duchy since Wamba or Wittiza) and made a collation with the Hispano-Romans and celts. The reason why the reconquest took so long was played from both sides of the war with the Hispano-gothic crowns of Asturias, Leon, and Castile doing that classic fiefdom of splitting the land with the king’s heirs (sons) while also on the Muslim side calling out aide from North Africa to help protect Al-Andalus because the northern kingdoms were kicking their asses really bad. In the end though, the Spanish crowns of Castile and Aragon successfully repulsed the Muslims and United (with the exception of Portugal) most of the peninsula in a manner to that of the visigothic kingdom which was considered the Hispanic kingdom.

People back then were just built different man.

Normans were not germanic tribes. A diaspora came from Scandinavie since 911, and they were assimilated to the medieval french culture (latin) witch was the culture of the peoples in Neustrie. In fact, Rollon was a Viking (so germanic), but his descendant (100 years after) Guillaume (who conquered and colonized England) didn't speak germanic but a latin norman language witch is similare to old medieval french "langue d'oïl" (latin spoken in the North of the french kingdome).

@@rachelmorton9841 Indeed but the Rus with their leader Rurik are the ones who established Novgorod and created Kievan Rus later down the line.

@@cmd7930 Yeah they won a small skirmish. And it literally took 6 centuries to kick them out. It took the muslims 6 years to achieve the same lol
@@sebe2255 The reasons for the conquest of the visigothic kingdom could not be understated. There were major political strife within the kingdom’s later life span that saw a lot of civil wars over kingship. This is why in the battle of guadelete, half of Roderic’s men betrayed him and his nobility and killed him and most of his nobles in the process.
After Roderic’s death this made every village and city fight for its self which were feeble resistance against the Muslim horde. For example Achila II and his men died fighting the Muslims and got their city razed to the ground, others like Theodomir, a viceroy of king Roderic successfully repulsed the Muslims to get a favorable peace treaty of ruling Orihuela as a vassal Christian kingdom, but this was taken over 60 years later.
It was the band of the surviving members of Roderic’s nobility of men that fled to cantanbria (since it was a visigothic duchy since Wamba or Wittiza) and made a collation with the Hispano-Romans and celts. The reason why the reconquest took so long was played from both sides of the war with the Hispano-gothic crowns of Asturias, Leon, and Castile doing that classic fiefdom of splitting the land with the king’s heirs (sons) while also on the Muslim side calling out aide from North Africa to help protect Al-Andalus because the northern kingdoms were kicking their asses really bad.
In the end though, the Spanish crowns of Castile and Aragon successfully repulsed the Muslims and United (with the exception of Portugal) most of the peninsula in a manner to that of the visigothic kingdom which was considered the Hispanic kingdom.
As a Mexican learning about European cultures there is so much to learn and so little time to do it. I always find myself wanting to learn more about where English comes from and how Germany came together even if there are so many dialects and warring states.

You forgot the Burgundians in central-east France, and also the Jutes who founded the kingdom of Kent in Britain, originally from the Jutland in the Danish peninsula. Maybe the Flemish, too, though the Flemish are basically a Frankish peoples that didn't adopt the Latin tongue of the Gallo-Romans as did the Franks.
The modern Flemish identity is very recent. And as you said they are included with the Franks.
Saying that the Flemish should be included is like saying modern-day English people should be included.
The Franks already cover the Dutch-speaking peoples

There are interesting parallels between them. One was called Savages the other Barbarians, and they both made life on the frontier harsh as hell and bitterly resisted the great power houses of their time, their foes just as formidable. People back then were just built different man.

Normans were not germanic tribes. A diaspora came from Scandinavie since 911, and they were assimilated to the medieval french culture (latin) witch was the culture of the peoples in Neustrie. In fact, Rollon was a Viking (so germanic), but his descendant (100 years after) Guillaume (who conquered and colonized England) didn't speak germanic but a latin norman language witch is similare to old medieval french "langue d'oïl" (latin spoken in the North of the french kingdome). This language is the direct anecstor of the actual french language.
Both the normans and the saxons did existed in England, and in France.Probably the Goths too (Taifali?).

Most Russians are a Slavic, Turkic, Mongol mix. The rus was a Germanic tribe who was the ruling elite of a Slavic people living in what is modern day Russia
@@rachelmorton9841 They also have heavy Baltic and Finnic admixture
@@rachelmorton9841 Indeed but the Rus with their leader Rurik are the ones who established Novgorod and created Kievan Rus later down the line. Hence why Russia was created by Germanic vikings who subjugated the Baltic Slavs (who actually invited them back after their wars to govern them because they were that basic and divided and needed a king authority figure). The Turkic people and Mongols come centuries later.
They're not, it's just their origin.
