10.  The Medieval age was part of the Dark Ages
Edited on Mon Jun-13-05 12:35 AM by IChing
In European history, the Dark Ages were the ages of Camelot, including other parts of europe were learning and written history was scattered


The earlier part of the period ( c. 500– c. 1100) or early Middle Ages is sometimes distinguished as the Dark Ages,

while the later part ( c. 1100–1453) or high or late Middle Ages is often thought of as the Middle Ages proper.

The whole period is characterized by the emergence of separate kingdoms, the growth of trade and urban life, and the growth in power of monarchies and the Church. The growth of interest in classical models within art and scholarship in the 15th century is seen as marking the transition to the Renaissance period and the end of the Middle Ages.
