The Middle Ages lasted approximately 900 years. It began around 500 AD and lasted until 1400 AD. Historians disagree on the exact year the Middle Ages began. Some say that it started when the barbarian Odoacer overthrew Emperor Romulus Augustulus in the year 476 AD. Others feel the Middle Ages began in 410 AD when Alaric sacked Rome. Still others say it was later. Likewise historians disagree with when the Middle Ages ended. Some say it ended with the fall of Constantinople in 1453. Others say with the discovery of America in 1492. Still others say the Middle Ages ended with the beginning of the Reformation in 1517.
