The period is usually called the High Middle Ages. This was not a 'dark age' as is sometimes assumed. It is the period in which Europe saw Christianity being established, the foundation of major cities and of several great Universities that mostly still exist today. it it also the period of the 'Carolingian Renaissance' to which we owe the survival of most of the ancient scriptures from Greece and Rome, since Charlemagne and his successors had made a point of having these copied and carefully kept in the Monasteries in their lands. Even before the Renaissance period, the works of Aristotle had because of this copying work been rediscovered and were avidly studied. Basically this period laid the foundation on which the ensuing Renaissance period would build.
