Quan'elling amongst themselves was raippant. At onri time the Roman Empire was: almost at their feet,' but they were so pre-oedupied with their internal disputes that the' opportunity was lost. Never were toeir leaders able to build up a .riation, or even an alli­ ance, of permanent quality.' While the Christian faith madb headway else­ where, it • was still' upknown to, these savage Teuton tribes, who still demanded human sacrifices arid’ indulged in incestuous love affpiite. Always they were betraying and assassinating each other, or struggling'l with outsiders. The mercenary system was characteris­ tic of Germany all through toe Middle Ages. When the Roman Empire was declining, its leaders were often-obliged to compromise with these barbarians, and did so by granting them land on what had been the Gallic soil: Most German heroes ta ancient days died by treachery, assassinaton or- poison. Their women folk were betrayed or given up to blgampus or licentious intrigues.- Even their jods were repre­ sented as open to briles. .These same declining Roman Eraiierors began to rely more and more - on German generals, and thus provided them with opportunities for graspmg power'for theiriselves.'
