Also, what did these ancient people look like, how tall were they, and how common were traits such as blond hair for example? Now these Germanic tribes were a collection of ancient groups that mainly inhabited Northern Europe initially, yet many of them went on to have an impact on various parts of Europe, from the Iberian peninsula to Eastern Europe. These peoples included the Goths, the Franks, the Lombards, the Angles and the Saxons, amongst many others. These tribes shared linguistic and cultural similarities and played a crucial role in the history of Europe, particularly during the Migration Period (circa 300–800 AD) when they moved across the continent, contributing to the fall of the Western Roman Empire and the shaping of medieval Europe.
