The answer to this question depends more on where you are than anything else. Different historians give different ages and dates. The dates vary quite a lot, with the beginning of the Middle Ages variously given as 476, 500, 517 or some other date, usually in the 5th century. There is typically a date of 1000 or 1066 used as the middle, and the end in 1453, 1492, or some such.
In the United States, the older histories call the period from 476 to 1000 the Dark Ages, and the period from 1000 to 1453 the Middle Ages. British historians may still use these dates.
Later historians call the time from 476 to 1000 the Early Middle Ages, with the dates 1000 to 1300 being the High Middle Ages, and from 1300 to 1453 the Late Middle Ages.
But we should remember that the experience of different countries is reflected in their dates and nomenclature. I have read that in Finland, the period of 1000 to 1453 is the Middle Ages, but the period before 1000 is called prehistory, because there are very few records of anything from before 1000 in Finland.
