5th Century?

Question

Would the 5th century be in the middle ages?

Answer 1

The 5th Century would be the Dark Ages, which officially began with the fall of the Western Roman Empire in 476 AD.

The Middle Ages began with the reign of Charlemagne and the reintroduction of Roman culture and laws. Charlemagne was crowned on Christmas Day, 800 AD.

Answer 2

There are historians who call it the beginning of the middle ages. Peter Heather of Oxford University has a recent book, "The Fall of the Roman Empire: A New History of Rome and the Barbarians." In it he argues that Roman society and administration passed away in western Europe during AD 376-476. Other historians say that the period AD 500-750 was the Dark Ages. Supposedly the middle ages began with the Carolingian kings of the Franks and ended before 1500.

Answer 3

Most people take the dark ages as part of the middle ages, also referring to them as the early middle ages. Most historians will date the beginning of the middle ages as 410, when the Goths sacked Rome, or more likely 476, when the last Western Roman Emperor abdicated.

The end of the middle ages is usually nailed down at 1453, the end of the Hundred Years war between France and England and the year Constantinople fell to the Turks, or 1492, the year Columbus set sail and the year Isabella and Ferdinand completed the Reconquista in Spain.

Answer 4

no, started with the 9th century
