On moving from the lower Danube up to Pannonia? I think you're mostly right. The Taifali never got there, captured and sent to Italy and France. Don't forget a large percentage of the Alans, thus converted to Arianism in Pannonia by Bishop Amantius. Gepids were more Gothic than Avarish. Then the Huns. And the final tribe was the Magyars... ancestors of our great modern bowyers: Grozer, Toth, and Kassai. Today, the Hungarians reenact their roots, wear traditional costume, and shoot the finest bows in the world. :cheer:
