During the Dark Ages, or Early Middle Ages, most European cloth was either wool or linen. Cloth was also made from cotton and silk, though these were really only worn by wealthy people as for most Europeans they were imports.

Were the vikings in the medieval era?

1st AnswerNo. The Vikings were among the last of the invaders who made the Dark Ages dark. Indeed, the usual date for the beginning of the medieval era is 1066, when the Normans (North men originally) conquered England and became feudal rulers instead of wild raiders. 2nd AnswerIn some parts of the world, the term Dark Ages is not used. Instead, the period is called the Early Middle Ages, and given the dates 476 to 1000, with the following periods being the High Middle Ages (1000-1300) and Late Middle Ages (1300-1453). By that definition, the Vikings were medieval.The oldest definitions of Middle Ages and medieval were from the Late Middle Ages, and make the term apply to dates from about 450 to 1250.

What experiments can you do to compare the ability of dark and light coloured objects to radiate heat?

Easy! Get a block of ice. Lay on this ice block a strip of dark cloth and almost next to it a similar strip of light cloth - would suggest one black and other white. Place in sunlight and watch. Dark cloth will melt ice quicker than light cloth. This shows dark material will normally absorb more thermal energy than light material. Note that the 2 pieces of cloth should be similar in size. If you use a harder substance such as pieces of tile then dark tile will slowly melt into ice block. When you have finished use any left-over ice to make cold drink.

When did the dark ages begin in Europe?

It might be safest to say the Dark Ages lasted from the 5th century to the 10th century. The term Dark Ages is not really clearly defined, and in fact has fallen from use quite a bit. Originally, the idea of an age of obscurity was used to describe the period after the fall of the West Roman Empire. At the time the concept of Dark Ages was first described, in about 1330, the Renaissance had not yet started, and the writer, Petrarch, regarded himself as living in the dark ages. Later writers regarded the Dark Ages as the time from the fall of the West Roman Empire to the Renaissance, and so dated them identically with the Middle Ages, from the 5th century to the 15th. During the 19th century, historians came to understand the the Middle Ages had a lot going on, too much to be called Dark, in the sense of decline or decay. They began to make the time equal to those parts of the Middle Ages when there was little written, meaning the time of the 5th through 10th centuries. This idea had already been around for some time. Under this scheme, the Middle Ages were between the Dark Ages and the Renaissance. The idea that the Carolingian Renaissance and Macedonian Renaissance, with their growth of culture and education, happened during a time of decay and decline, seems to fly in the face of logic. So many historians refer to the time from the 5th to 10th centuries as the Early Middle Ages instead of Dark Ages. Under this scheme, the term is not used at all. There have been people who had different, specific ideas of what the Dark Ages were.
