But that period is dark ages not medieval
2 comments

The Medieval period lasted from the 5th to 15th century. The Dark Ages is a misnomer for the early medieval period (5th to 10th centuries).
Historians no longer use the term Dark Ages and haven't for years now. Late Antiquity and the early Medieval era were more complex than that.
