Because there were so many knights!

Actually it has to do with the fact that not very many manuscripts or records were documented, as there was a famine of literacy. Only those in authority were able to read, this gave them power over the common people, as they were very religeous. These preists could say stuff like "oh GOD says that you have to pay 90% of your money to us or he won't forgive you!" The people, not knowing that this was false believed the lie, and so gave up their money.

By what other name is the medieval period also known?

The simple answer is that the medieval period is also called the Middle Ages. There is some complexity, however. The period from the 5th through 10th centuries was called the Dark Ages, but the term Early Middle Ages is more common now. What used to be called the Middle Ages, a time from the 11th to 15th centuries, is now often counted as the High Middle Ages (1000 to 1300) and Late Middle Ages (1300 to some time in the 15th century).
