Probably because it was Cervantes's own time, since he and Shakespeare were contemporaries, dying on the same date (although not on the same day). But the satire in Don Quixote, at any rate, is not directed at the middle ages as such, but rather at the romanticised version of it found in the kind of literature Don Quixote loved to read.
