Vagari de Suebis
Wander of the Suebi

Guten tag!

I have after some consideration decided to start writing a timeline focused on an alternate development of the Seubi a tribal people in south-east Germany. I chose them because they are most likely my ancient ancestors that founded the base of "High Germany" during the early Middle Ages.

The point of divergence for this timeline will be that in c. 406 A.D after the Suebi crossed the Rhine, their leader Hemeric has a dispute with either the leadership of the Vandals or Alans (soon to unify under the Kingdom of the Vandals in OTL), and migrate away from the turmoil in Gaul. The Suebi force the Emperor Honorius to proclaim them foederati on the coast of Gallia Narbonensis.

This is only the beginning of a long period of Suebic migrations which have yet to be revealed. I have not thoroughly planned the future of Suebic people other than the fact that then will have far more influence than they did in OTL.

I have plans but I will need certain things to write a fleshed out timeline that others could easily help out at:
-Suebic naming conventions
-Roman generals and armies in the early 5th century
-Other tribes and their migrations.

This is sort of joke but it ATL this is written in a variant of Latino-Frisian spoken in Belgica. Pretty much English! BUT NOT!
