Within the Germanic migrations, there had been Alans who also assimilated with them, Alans came to Western Europe, too. What if Alans had been a recognizeable minority in certain areas in Western European kingdoms for centuries too come ? Maybe entire villages/settlements and even fiefdoms . Maybe in more plainlike eviroments they maintain a horse-based culture and supply their lords with mounted archers ? Maybe even a Middle Ages migration west through pressure of other peoples?
