4 main groups • Franks: • Settled in Gaul (modern-day France) • Angles and Saxons: • Moved from continental Europe to England • Magyars • Moved from Central Asia to Hungary • Vikings: • Moved from Scandinavia to Russia
The Vikings • They worshipped warlike gods • Seafaring people—always on the water to find new sources for food • Leif Ericson—landed on North America around 1000 • Eventually adopted Christianity, which resulted in them stopping from looting monasteries
The Magyars • Nomadic people from the East • They were excellent horseback riders • Their goal was to capture people to be sold as slaves, NOT land • Attacked isolated villages and monasteries
Influence and Impact of Western Europe • Immediate Impact: disruption of trade and decline of towns • Long-term impact: fear of invasion led to people seeking protection from local lords in and around their castles/manors, which ultimately strengthened feudalism
