The time from 500 AD to 1000 AD was called the Early Middle Ages. The early part of this, the Age of Migrations, was fairly chaotic, as migrating peoples entered areas of what had been the West Roman Empire, and set up new kingdoms. This period lasted from about 400 to 700 AD.

Having read some of the legal codes set up in these times, I would not characterize them as brutal. In many ways they were more enlightened than Roman Law or the legal codes that came later. They were centered on the question of justice for the victims, and seemed quite rational and just, considering the times. In some ways they favored men, and in others they favored women. They recognized differences in wealth and rank, but held no one above the law.

The Early Middle Ages were also the time of the Islamic Golden Age, the Carolingian Renaissance, and the Ottonian Renaissance.
