How was the Architecture in Late Middle Ages in Spain?
Spanish medieval architecture was Gothic, with high arches and a lot of stained glass in the churches, and a feel of airiness. This was true through the entire late Middle Ages, though the period can be broken down into several distinct Spanish styles. I have added a link below.
Difference in the sports they play now to the middle ages?
Medieval sports consisted of jousting, sword fighting, etc. Modern day sports is more team oriented such as, football, basketball, etc. ----- Sports of the Middle Ages included all sorts of things we would recognize today, including various forms of billiards, bowling, golf, football, and a number of others. The biggest difference was that the rules were not written down, and sometimes were virtually nonexistent. One of the forms of football, for example, was sometimes played with no limit to the number of players on either side. It was called mob football, and was often played in the middle of a town, with no apologies to passers by, who might get drafted into the home team, if they were local. Jousting was done in the Middle Ages, and was more important than the exhibitions we see occasionally today. But that sort of thing was only played by knights, and common people were left out. It was something for the historians to talk about, but quite probably most competitions involved the common folk.
Was there soap during the Middle Ages?
I have seen different statements on the history of soap. One said it was invented in the middle ages, and another said it was ancient. The Latin name for it was a word I recognized, with the root "sapo." This comes from Germanic sources, but was, in fact, Latin, and not Late Latin, so I would be inclined to believe it was ancient. Regardless, hard soap was an invention of the Middle Ages. There was a soap makers guild very early, in the seventh century, in at least one Italian city. And in writings of the time of Charlemagne, soap making was said to be an honorable craft. People of the Middle Ages believed a clean and healthy body was indicative of a clean and healthy soul. They also believed that disease could be spread by bad air, and that foul odors were therefore an evil. They were usually very clean. Clearly soap was important to them as it was how they got themselves clean.
Why did the Middle Ages start and end?
A traditional view is that the Middle Ages started because the West Roman Empire fell and independent Germanic kingdoms arose to replace it in, and ended with the fall of the Byzantine Empire (East Roman Empire). The date most often given for the beginning is 476, and for the end is 1453. The traditional view also is that the fall of the West Roman Empire caused a collapse in Western society, which was especially evident in the rates of literacy, and that the end of the Middle Ages happened because of increased trade and education, and the rise of the mercantile class. Personally, I think the traditional view, is rather too simple. Western society was well into decline in the 3rd century, and clearly coming out of that decline when the Early Middle Ages were only half over. Furthermore, parts of the government of the West Roman Empire, including the Senate, were operating until at least the beginning of the 7th century. The end of the Middle Ages is just as hard to pin down. The Byzantine Empire had lost its power centuries before it fell, and with that, it lost its relevance to the medieval West.
Which time period would you preferred to have lived in the Renaissance or the middle ages explain your reasons why?
Personally, I would have preferred to have lived during the Middle Ages. One reason is that people in the Renaissance looked down on those of the Middle Ages as barbarians, but the people of the Renaissance were more superstitious and less rational. They pursued witch hunts and suppressed science in ways that were not done in the Middle Ages. Unfortunately, we tend to buy the propaganda of the Renaissance, partly because they were the only ones who could make the comparison - the people of the Middle Ages did not know what was coming. There was a lot of activity in the Middle Ages in engineering, science, philosophy, education, and mathematics that we little of today. The people of the Renaissance tried to work in these fields, but took a less practical and more cosmological point of view, resulting in ecclesiastical suppression. The food and medicine in the High Middle Ages and Late Middle Ages were no worse that that of the Renaissance. The people of the Middle Ages believed that cleanliness was next to godliness, so they were clean. They also believed that bad air, with bad smells, could carry diseases. The people of the Renaissance covered their bad smells with perfume and called the Middle Ages stinky. The people of the Middle Ages believed in their religion and believed a person was no better than his word. The Renaissance produced Macchiavelli and people who thought he was just dandy. One thing the Renaissance had was a greater proportion of houses that had fireplaces and chimneys.

The Middle Ages was a time in history that resulted from the fall of Rome. Rome was the foundation of government and services.

For a thousand years life was this way for people in Europe.
What does knighthood mean?
It is an honorary title bestowed on one by the queen (or king) for meritorious service of a high order. It began in the middle ages, when those men who protected the king and kingdom (the king's "army" in effect) were honored for their bravery and service. Knights earned the title "Sir" (a big, big deal back then) and thereafter had certain perks, including being the only people in the kingdom besides the queen who were allowed to sit down in the presence of the king.

What was the difference between dark ages castles and medieval castles?
The Dark Ages are the 500 or so years after the fall of the West Roman Empire. Dates used for this time are usually 476 to 1066 or something like that. It is a term that has gone out of fashion in much of the world, though it is still used in the UK. People who use the term Dark Ages often date the Middle Ages as starting with the end of the Dark Ages and lasting until 1485, when the Wars of the Roses ended. The term Middle Ages is used by other people as a name of the whole period, usually with the dates 476 to 1453. These people use the term Early Middle Ages for the Dark Ages of 476 to 1000, High Middle ages for the period from 1000 to 1300, and Late Middle Ages for the period from 1300 to 1453. Personally, I think neither the terms Dark Ages and Early Middle Ages is very useful. The time from 400 to 700 was the Age of Migration, characterized in Western Europe by a series of invasions by migrating peoples, often very destructive, who eventually settled down and went through a series of issues that had to be addressed as they established kingdoms with well functioning laws and customs. The later time, from 700 to 1000, included the Carolingian Renaissance, the Macedonian Renaissance, and the Ottonian Renaissance, times of great political, social, and cultural development. These two times were more different from each other than the later was from the High Middle Ages, I believe, and if the Middle Ages are to be subdivided, that should be taken into account.
