What time frame were the medieval times?
410 AD to 1400. ----- The dates most commonly given by historians for the Middle Ages are 476 to 1453. Many historians point out that these dates are too precise, as they give the impression that things changed for people in those years, and so some historians simply use 5th century to 15th century.
Why can historians call the dark ages the dark ages?
The concept of a Dark Age was introduced by http://wiki.answers.com/wiki/Petrarch in the 1330s. Writing of those who had come before him, he said, "Amidst the errors there shone forth men of genius, no less keen were their eyes, although they were surrounded by darkness and dense gloom." Christian writers had traditional metaphors of "http://wiki.answers.com/wiki/Light_versus_darkness" to describe "good versus evil." Petrarch was the first to co-opt the metaphor and give it secular meaning by reversing its application. Classical Antiquity, so long considered the "dark" age for its lack of Christianity, was now seen by Petrarch as the age of "light" because of its cultural achievements, while Petrarch's time, lacking such cultural achievements, was seen as the age of darkness. As an Italian, Petrarch saw the http://wiki.answers.com/wiki/Roman_Empire and the classical period as expressions of Italian greatness. He spent much of his time traveling through Europe rediscovering and republishing classic http://wiki.answers.com/wiki/Latin and http://wiki.answers.com/wiki/Greek_language texts. He wanted to restore the classical Latin language to its former purity. http://wiki.answers.com/wiki/Renaissance_humanism saw the preceding 900-year period as a time of stagnation. They saw history unfolding, not along the religious outline of http://wiki.answers.com/wiki/Augustine_of_Hippo's http://wiki.answers.com/wiki/Six_Ages_of_the_World, but in cultural (or secular) terms through the progressive developments of classical ideals, literature, and art. Petrarch wrote that history had had two periods: the http://wiki.answers.com/wiki/Classical_antiquity period of the Greeks and Romans, followed by a time of darkness, in which he saw himself as still living. Humanists believed one day the Roman Empire would rise again and restore classic cultural purity, and so by the late 14th and early 15th century, humanists such as http://wiki.answers.com/wiki/Leonardo_Bruni believed they had attained this new age, and that a third, http://wiki.answers.com/wiki/Modern_Age had begun. The age before their own, which Petrarch had labeled dark, thus became a "middle" age between the classic and the modern. The first use of the term "Middle Age" appeared with http://wiki.answers.com/wiki/Flavio_Biondo around 1439. In other words, it was a dark period in human history.
When did the middle age start?
Probably the best answer is that the Middle Ages started in the 5th century. To pick a specific year, it might be best to choose 476 AD. There are very different answers to this question. Some historians have regarded the Middle Ages as a period after the Dark Ages. These people would give dates of 1000 AD or 1066 AD as the beginning of the Middle Ages. I think most historians would make the Middle Ages a period of about 1000 years from the 5th century to the 15th. They replace the term Dark Ages with Early Middle Ages. Some of these people simply say the Middle Ages started in the 5th century with a process that lasted many decades and cannot be dated. Others provide specific dates of specific events. I have seen dates ranging from the late 4th century to the early 6th century, but 476 is by far the one I see most often.
