The dates for the Middle Ages are arbitrary, and are assigned differently by different people. In addition to the date, 476 AD, which is also the date most commonly given for the Fall of Rome, other dates for the start of the Middle ages are rather arbitrarily chosen and include 395, 400, 500, 518 and others.
By the way, the Roman Empire did not fall in 410; that year Rome was sacked, but it was not a capital at that time and the government continued without change. It also did not really fall in 476, when the last Emperor of the West was deposed; that year, the senate requested that the Emperor of the East assume command of the West, which was granted. The East Roman Empire was even able to regain actual control of Italy, North Africa, and parts of Spain, but eventually had to withdraw. It continued for nearly another thousand years and was destroyed in 1453. About two hundred years after it was destroyed, historians began calling it the Byzantine Empire, a name never used for it in the Middle Ages. During the Middle Ages, it was always just the Roman Empire, and the people would have found the idea that the Roman Empire had fallen at all very strange.
