The medieval period is generally divided into three main time periods: the Early Middle Ages (approximately 500-1000 AD), the High Middle Ages (approximately 1000-1300 AD), and the Late Middle Ages (approximately 1300-1500 AD). The Early Middle Ages began after the fall of the Western Roman Empire, followed by the flourishing of feudalism and the rise of monarchies in the High Middle Ages. The Late Middle Ages saw significant social, political, and economic changes, leading to the Renaissance.


Why was the word medieval first used in 500 ad?

Actually, the Latin equivalent of Middle Ages, which became "medieval" in English, was first used in the Late Middle Ages, which regarded itself as the modern age. The period of 500 to 1000 was seen as a middle period between ancient and more modern ages of reason, art, and enlightenment. The reason the year 500 or a somewhat earlier date was chosen (410 AD, 476 AD, etc.) is that the West Roman Empire fell apart at the time, and was taken over by a number of Germanic kingdoms. This supposedly began an era of darkness and illiteracy, though that period was already underway and was more a cause than an effect.
