The High and Late Middle Ages
The Middle Ages lasted roughly 500 AD - 1500 AD
The term medieval simply means "of or relating to the Middle Ages"
The Dark Ages was the period in Western Europe between 500 (the fall of Rome) and 1000 AD.
It was called the Dark Ages because the Vikings and Magyars raided Western Europe and destroyed all the buildings the Roman Empire built. People because uneducated.
Vikings were based in Scandinavia and invaded land.
Christianity Review:
The Age of Faith : Lots of new churches were built during this time. Helped Europe get out of the Dark Ages. Religion played a role in pushing education.
