The 4th century lasted from 301 to 400 AD. The term Dark Ages is usually applied to the years from 476 to 1000 AD. The Dark Ages are usually portrayed as a time of ignorance and superstition, which is why they are called Dark. The name is deceptive, however, because the lack of literacy that is generally considered to be characteristic of the Dark Ages began during the 3rd century AD, and the period of 476 to 1000 AD included times referred to as the Macedonian Renaissance, the Carolingian Renaissance, and the Ottonian Renaissance. The name Dark Ages is falling out of use to some extent because of this, with the term Early Middle Ages preferred by many historians.
