What barbarians conquered gaul?

In 406 the Vandals, Sueves (both Germanic peoples) and the Alans (Iranian speakers) crossed the river Rhine (the frontier of the Roman Empire) and invaded Gaul. The Alemanni, another Germanic people, took advantage of this to take over Switzerland and Alsace, in northeaster France. The Burgundians, also a Germanic people, settled in an area which is now in Germany west of the river Rhine (Rhineland-Palatinate). The exact date when this occurred is not known. It is known that they were there from 411. In 443 the Romans resettled them in Sapaudia which is thought to correspond to present day Savoy, in eastern France.
