Best Answer

Lent started on Ash Wednesday and ended on Easter, a period of forty days. The calculation of when Ash Wednesday happened was based on the calculation of Easter. The calculation of Easter was a matter of some controversy in the Middle Ages, as it remains now, though to a lesser extent, but Easter has always been a Sunday in early Spring.

In other countries other events such as the Capture of Constantinople or the end of the Hundred Years War both 1453 as the end. Others as late as the start of the Reformation in 1517. Both the Protestant Reformation and the Renaissance (the rebirth of art, science and learning) brought an end to the Middle Ages.
