'''Germanic tribes''' were the peoples of Southern [[Scandinavia]] and what is now Northern [[Germany]] and the [[Netherlands]].  The [[Roman]] historian [[Tacitus]] gives a remarkably detailed picture of them around AD 100, from knowledge gained from his father in law, the Roman general Agricola.  They knew a bit of farming, and kept livestock.  They worshipped many gods, including [[Tiw]], [[Woden]] and [[Thunor]] (Thor) that Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday are named after.  They gave the warrior high status, thought it disgraceful to flee the battlefield, and were ruled by ‘kings’.  They had no real ‘towns’ and farmed in woodland clearings.

They can be split in terms of geographical area/related languages to East Germanic (the [[Goth]]s, [[Vandals]], Gepids and [[Burgundians]]), North Germanic (the [[Norse]] or Norwegians, Danes, Swedes and the later Icelanders) and West Germanic (the [[Franks]], [[Angles]], [[Saxons]], Langobards ([[Lombards]]), etc.
