| | GERMANIA: Visigoths, Ostrogoths, Vandals, Vikings, Orkney, etc. |
 | | When Germany eventually separated as East Francia, the old tribal areas assumed new identities as the Stem Duchies. |
 | | Finally, in the south the Saxons, who would remain an important power on the continent, established the Kingdoms of the South Saxon, Sussex, of the East Saxons, Essex, and of the West Saxons, Wessex. |
 | | Eventually, Northumbria, East Anglia, Essex, and about the north-eastern half of Mercia were overrun and became part of the Danelaw. |
