When the medieval period is divided into two parts, it is usually divided into the Dark Ages (476 to 1000) and the Middle ages (1000 to 1453). This terminology is considered old fashioned in the US, but may still prevail in the UK.
The alternative is to divide the Middle Ages (476 to 1453, but with alternate dates for both beginning and end) into three parts:
the Early Middle Ages (476 to 1000 AD)
the High Middle Ages (1000 to 1300 AD)
the Late Middle Ages (1300 to 1453 AD)
Clearly the dates, 1000 and 1300, were arbitrarily chosen. But the other dates were also, with alternative suggestions for the start: 410 AD, with the sack of Rome in that year
476 AD, with the purported fall of the Roman Empire of the West
500 AD, an arbitrary date
with other suggested dates, some as early as the third century
And the final dates listed as:
1453, when the Turks took Constantinople
1492, with the voyage of Columbus and the conquest of Grenada
1500, an arbitrary date
again, other dates are suggested
Personally, I would regard the Middle Ages as a time characterized by issues dealing with religion, and that being the case, I would divide it into these four periods
380 to 800, starting when Christianity was declared the state religion of the Roman Empire. This was a period characterized by increasing chaos and low literacy.
800, to 1088, starting when Charlemagne became Emperor. This was a period of rising literacy but increasing sense of need to deal with pressures from outside Europe.
1088 to 1241, starting with the opening of the first university in Bologna. This period was characterized by a great expansion of knowledge and art, arising from increasing contact with Islamic countries and increasing local learning.
1241 to 1478, starting with an alliance between Luebeck and Hamburg that grew into the Hanseatic League, which is really just an emblematic event for the rise of medieval mercantilism. This period saw a huge increase in trade, transportation, banking, and other sources of power that were crossed state boundaries and were beyond the power of both the church and the nobility. The ending date of 1478, is the beginning of the Spanish Inquisition, a reaction against the rise of powers not derived from the Church.
But these dates are only reflections of my own point of view.
