The '''Alans''' (or Alani) were an Indo-Aryan tribe - nomadic war-like horse breeders first mentioned in the first century A.D. and known to have raided [[Parthia]] - which entered [[European]] history when displaced from their homeland north of the [[Caucasian Mountains]] by the invading [[Huns]] in 370. They reached [[Gaul]] in 406 along with the [[Vandals]] and [[Suebi]] (Suevi). Some settled in the [[Iberian Peninsular]] whilst one group continued into [[North Africa]] with the Vandals in 427.
