But why should you assume that this northward
migration was the result of "danger"? Was it not more
dangerous to head towards areas so close to the haunts
of rather predatory ethna like the Polovtsians? Why
not assume a combination of overpopulation and
response to invitations (isn't the latter an accepted
explanation as to the relationship between the
Hungarian monarchy and some South of Danube Vlachs? I
believe the Byzantines also utilized military
detachments of Vlachs on their newly expanded northern
borders.)*****
