Germanic tribes kept intruding on the northern borders. They kept weakening and weakening the empire and its armies until they finally managed to sack the capital. In addition, armies turned to support their generals more than their emperors because they were in wars with northern tribes for so long. The tribes would just quickly attack, and retreat into the woods, and keep fighting like that.
