A lot of the medieval nobility were just Roman landowners at the time of the of the Western Empire. Sure their government collapsed, but they still owned the land amd had theeans to enforce that ownership. Which is why France had the right idea to liberate all those heads of state from their holdings 230 years ago
Only to a degree. The Franks and the Vikings(Norman/Rus/Danelaw) were largely the companions of conquering rulers.
