Why were nomads and settled peoples often in conflict?
Nomads found settled communities an easy source of what they needed - someone else had done the work, and it was there for the taking. But when they had pillaged the land out of existence they often settled down to farm themselves, having got a taste for better accommodation, food and consumer goods. Such peoples were the Greek nomads who moved progressively into the land we now call Greece, and the Normans (Norsemen) - Vikings who pillaged the north coast of France until there was no alternative but to do some farming themselves (the Normans had settled in Normandy a mere 100 years before William the Conqueror set his sights on England. Others simply conquered militarily and established themselves a the ruling aristocracy, leaving the indigenoous inhabitants to do the work. Such peoples included the Franks (a Germanic tribe) in Gaul (now called France after the Franks), the Bulgars (over Slav inhabitants, now called Bulgaria) and the Vikings again in Russia (Hroreka renamed Rurik was the first Prince of Kiev and forefather of the Czars). Generally these nomads who became the ruling aristocracy were absorbed into the original settled peoples: the Viking-French Normans anglicised, the Viking-Russians and the Bulgars quickly slavicised. We still talk of France as Gallic today.
