The Dark Ages were also known as the Medieval times. They call it the Dark Ages because there was blood, gore, diseases, and the peasants weren't treated very well. There was also Druids and superstitious beliefs. But a lot of good things happened, too. Things were invented, and there were knights and castles. The Medieval people wrote some pretty good stories, too. That's where the classic 'Save the Princess' thing comes from! So the Dark Ages were kind of good, and kind of bad at the same times.
