Answer: Into many kingdoms.
The Germanic peoples settled in the zones of the old Roman Empire in the West, being born kingdoms where the Germans sought to separate like an elite, and separated of the population; but the Visigoths and Franks, more peaceful and stable, mingled with the population in religious, legislative and social aspects, coming to have Latin as the basis of their new languages. The difference between the Germanic peoples and the Roman Empire, in terms of their cultures, was very great, but from this contact, the Germans adopted many Roman customs, including their ways of organizing themselves politically; along with the old Germanic traditions. This mixture of cultures was the social and cultural basis of medieval Europe, and the basis of modern Western civilization.
