Were the vikings in the medieval era?

Answer 1

1st AnswerNo. The Vikings were among the last of the invaders who made the Dark Ages dark. Indeed, the usual date for the beginning of the medieval era is 1066, when the Normans (North men originally) conquered England and became feudal rulers instead of wild raiders. 2nd AnswerIn some parts of the world, the term Dark Ages is not used. Instead, the period is called the Early Middle Ages, and given the dates 476 to 1000, with the following periods being the High Middle Ages (1000-1300) and Late Middle Ages (1300-1453).

By that definition, the Vikings were medieval.

The oldest definitions of Middle Ages and medieval were from the Late Middle Ages, and make the term apply to dates from about 450 to 1250.
