Changes

Rural Hispania aided the successive arrival of Barbarian tribes to the Iberian Peninsula throughout the 5^th century. They came by virtue of agreements or ''foedus'' (the root of the word feudal) negotiated with the remote imperial power of Rome, in turn, felt obligated to show them some level of ''hospitalitas''. They had not come to wage war, so upon their arrival, only some cities, run by their bishops, closed its doors to them. Moreover, they were rarely met with hostility, except on the occasions when some group joined together with gangs of ''Bagaudae'' (organised thieves). In any case, this Barbarian presence on the Iberian Peninsula went virtually unnoticed in a population of perhaps four million people.<br>
