In the Later Roman Empire(4th and 5th century AD) the Empire was witness to a mass migration of barbarians into the Empire. These tribes were allowed to settle on Imperial lands in exchange for military service leading to the creation of the term foederati, which is the progenitor of the feudal system. These foederati were largely led by their own tribal chieftains, which would later lead to further instability in the Empire, ultmately leading to its downfall when the foederatus commander, Odoacer deposed the Western Emperor, Romulus Augustus, thereby ending the Western Roman Empire.
