The two periods are regarded as overlapping to some extent. Also the dates are very inexact.

The Renaissance began during the 14th century in Italy. It is characterized by a so-called rebirth of civilization, creating the modern age.

The Middle Ages were the middle time between the ancient world and the modern. They ended in the 15th century.

The Middle Ages and medieval period are usually regarded as the same. The word medieval comes from a Latin term meaning middle ages.

Different people have different ideas about when the Middle Ages happened. In the United States, the term is usually regarded as the time from the middle of the 5th century to the middle of the 15th. In the United Kingdom, there are a lot of people who make the Middle Ages the time from the 11th century to the 15th, with the time from the 5th to the 11th called the Dark Ages.
