When was the medieval Renaissance?

1st Answer: There wasn't a "medieval Renaissance". It was the middle ages for a 1000 years and then after that was the time period known as the Renaissance. 2nd Answer: The…re were at least five periods during the European Middle Ages that were referred to with the name Renaissance. First was the Carolingian Renaissance, which was going on when Charlemagne was emperor of the Carolingian Empire. Perhaps 752 to 840 AD, the dates for Pepin the Short, Charlemagne, and Louis the Pious, would be good to use. Second was the Macedonian Renaissance, a period from 867 to 1056 AD, when emperors of the Macedonian Dynasty ruled the Byzantine Empire. Third, which took place simultaneously with the second, was the Ottonian Renaissance, a period of 936 to 1002 AD, when the first three emperors of the Saxon dynasty, Otto I, Otto II and Otto III, ruled the Holy Roman Empire. Fourth was the Renaissance of the 12th century, in which trade and commerce were on the rise. Dates for this might be 1070 to 1315. And fifth, of course, the European Renaissance began before the Middle Ages ended. Its beginning is dated variously, sometimes as early as the period when Dante was writing, before his death in 1321. Some writers use 1401 as a date for the beginning of the Renaissance. I will arbitrarily use 1353, by which time the Black Death was pretty much over in Italy. Perhaps I should list these for clarity: 752-840 Carolingian Renaissance867-1056 Macedonian Renaissance936-1002 Ottonian Renaissance1070-1315 Renaissance of the 12th century1353-1453 European Renaissance period coincidental with the Middle Ages You could probably pick any of these as a Medieval Renaissance. Interestingly, in the last 700 years of the Middle Ages, about 620 were Renaissance for somebody. The more I read of the Middle Ages, the more I think this is an accurate understanding of the time. To be complete, I should mention the Islamic Golden Age, which is also called the Islamic Renaissance, and was one of the most importantly productive periods in human history, which lasted from about 730 to 1258. I did not include it in the above because it was not primarily European. It should be noted, however, that it had great influence on Europe during these times. There are links below. (MORE)
