frisians were pretty based. and you can't really put all the norsemen as a single "tribe"
>>497721
It's the best way I can see grouping them. What did Friscians do of note?
I'd agree that Normans are top-tier. That whole "Conquering Britain" thing was a feat.
>>497754
And southern Italy and part of Israel

Anglo-Saxons

Care to substantiate those claims?
Are Lutherans a tribe?
>>497557
To make clear: I'm grouping British Isles Anglo-Saxons and Continental Saxons as the same, as much as I should have segregated the two.

U wot

Frisians still exist as a distinct ethnic and linguistic entity - that's more than most other Germanic tribes can boast of today.
When Theodoric was bearing down on Constantinople, Emperor Zeno made a deal with him. Zeno invited him to invade Italy which was then ruled by another Germanic king named Odoacer. He conceeded and tricked Odoacer into meeting with him. In the midst of a night of drinking, Theodoric killed Odoacer ad his sons becoming King of the new Ostrogothic Kingdom of Italy.
During his reign Theodoric retained a good relationship with Constantinople and even preserved Roman culture in that region. He is also known to have organized alliances with most of the Germanic kings of western Europe, including the famous Frankish King Clovis. He died in 526 A.D.

>Normans
Normans were not Germanic, they spoke French and spread Sarmatian and Turkic genes.
Take Richard III, his DNA has been tested and is 90% likely to be Alan DNA.
Vikings = Boat people infested with parasites
Normans = Professional Cavalrymen

Norsemen actually had good horsemen, video games only make it seem otherwise.
And sure they spoke Norman, a language de oil, but they were simply Carolingian Norsemen. Not Norse Norsemen.
>>498523
Fuck, I am a Cambro-Norman, they were not Germanic, they were Norman, a mix of different people. Take me for example, I'm Welsh, but we became Normans and did quite well for ourselves in Ireland. My name is Norman, but my DNA is Welsh.

Richard III

That means YOU'RE mixed. First Normans were Norsemen. They changed as time went on.
>>498668
Did you know that the Amoricans were the best Cavalrymen in early Medieval Europe.
The Franks used them to defeat the Burgundians and Visigoths.
The Alans settled in the exact region of Northern France were Richard the III's family come from, the Alans also settled in Armorica, the area the comprises Britanny and Normandy.
>>498686
I did not. That's dope.
>>497735
They were excellent sailors and pirates IIRC
>>497735
They still exist
>>498686
If the Amoricans are descended from Alans than that makes perfect sense. The Franks got their cavalry tradition from their contact with the Alans and Huns.
>>497557
shit eating barbars, the lot
>>499462
>he said in English
The Norse weren't a tribe, and the Anglo-Saxons were 2 tribes (probably more).
Shit, you could say that the Franks and Goths and Vandals and Lombards weren't tribes, but that's just nitpicking.

It's essentially the tiers of survival into the modern day
t. OP
The Anglos were pretty based
