medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture
Does anyone know when the term "Dark Ages" for the Middle Ages was first
used?
I didn't think it was!
I have always understood that "Dark Ages" referred to the period from the
withdrawal of the Roman Legions (410AD IIRC) to the Norman Conquest (1066)
and that the Middle Ages referred to 1066-1495. (This is English history,
of course .......)
