I would say the name Dark Ages creates a misunderstanding of the time.

The original meaning of the term Dark Ages was a time that was obscure because people did not write much down. The term implies a time especially troubling and difficult. While the Dark Ages were a time with their share of wars, plague, and famine, they were really more a time of recovery from the collapse of the Roman Empire. The Carolingian Renaissance, the Macedonian Renaissance, and the Ottonian Renaissance were all times of cultural advance during the so-called Dark Ages.
