If you look at the Wikipedia entry you cite, the very first clause of the first sentence is:
"The Dark Ages is a term for the Early Middle Ages"
That is the normal understanding of "dark ages" among historians.
- pelasaco 3y agoDid you read the whole sentence? "The Dark Ages is a term for the Early Middle Ages, or occasionally the entire Middle Ages, in Western Europe after the fall of the Western Roman Empire that characterises it as marked by economic, intellectual and cultural decline." So the term is highly disputed and what I understood from there, is that no historian TODAY use Dark ages to describe any moment of the Middle Ages. At least not the serious historians. I'm not Historian, I'm computer scientist and Philosopher. Dark Ages for me is first connected with the Greek Dark Ages, or Digital Dark Ages.
