By the 5th century Christianity had bread throughout the Roman Empire. It had reached the Germanic peoples who were later to invaded the western part of the Roman Empire: the Sueves, Burgundians, Vandals and Alans. The former two lived in modern southern Germany and the other two in modern eastern Hungary. It also reached Ireland through the missionary work of Palladius and St Patrick.
