What peoples came to eastern Europe from the east?

The peoples who came to Europe from the eastern lands are the Franks. They lived on the outskirts of Europe for a long time. They lived near the Rhine, where the soil was swampy and barren. The Frankish tribes began to expand and increase their power. The Romans called them barbarians because they did not value jewelry and ancient art. The Frankish tribes had their own culture, which flourished after the destruction of the Roman Empire. In its place, Clovis placed his possessions, which in the future became a new state.
