-410, 30-40k Goths sack Rome, pop. ~500-800k
-1084, 36k Normans & Saracens sack Rome, pop. ~15k
-1527, 20k Germans & Spaniards sack Rome, pop. ~55k

Ratios:
410: ~1:20
1084: ~2:1
1527: ~1:3

1084 is the outlier, an army larger than the conquered population.

What do you know about the Normans and the Dark Ages?

Concept for a miniature I made a while back for the historical boardgame Dark Ages.

This is Robert de Guiscard, Norman general, one of the generals you can hire to help you in your battles.
