By the end of their rule the British tribes south of the wall were Romanized, and the withdrawal of the legions left them open to conquest by the Germanic tribes who were being displaced by the Franks and Huns. The same happened to the Celtic tribes of Gaul. Generations of Pax Romana left them without the warrior culture that had allowed them to take most of Europe in earlier times.
