The Vikings also took over one of the most important trade cities in the Netherlands. And under Danish rule it slowly disappeared from the map.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dorestad

>>75513344
>In the 7th Century, it was clear that Dorestad had the potential to become a major port. It was the meeting point for traders at the time. As a result, the Franks and the Frisians fought over control of the township. The Franks won out at the end of the 7th Century and closely monitored the growth of Dorestad. This led to Dorestad's economic expansion via international trade and the establishment of a mint in the Upper town. It is assumed that there was a toll as well as harbour fees collected by the King’s representatives at Dorestad
Then danes came.

>Under Danish control, Dorestad became less significant. Trading had slowed in the port to the point where it was almost non-existent. The mint was shut down when Hroerekr took control of the lands. As the settlement no longer held much economic or cultural significance, the populace of Dorestad thinned and the place became a dimly remembered part of history.
Today the city doesn't exist anymore.

To be fair, there aren't many cities around from the 7th century in general.

That city was actually the richest city in the Netherlands at that time.

There are in the Netherlands. The city where I live for example, Utrecht, is 2000 years old. And was also raided by vikings with Roman buildings destroyed.

The barbarians originally came from the North, mate.

Most tribes migrated to the south because they had already killed all the animals in the northern regions. They were inferior, so they didn't really know any agriculture.

Alaric is the most hilarious case of inferiority complex in the history of mankind. The guy sacked Rome just so he could be a Roman too, LOL.
