Perhaps the most commonly used dates for the Dark Ages are 476 to 1000 AD.
The term Dark Ages is used for a time when there was little recorded history; it was a time that was obscure. People who use the term Dark Ages usually mean the time between the fall of the West Roman Empire and about 1000 AD. This time coincides with the Early Middle Ages. Other people use it to mean the entire Middle Ages. Some use it to mean very restricted times within the Early Middle Ages. It is not a term with an accepted, precise definition.
Those historians who are most interested in the history of the Byzantine Empire have used the term Dark Ages to mean the period from about 630 to 800 AD.
There were other periods also called Dark Ages, such as the Greek Dark Ages of about 1100 to 750 BC, because there was little recorded of the period.

∙ 11y agoThe Dark Ages as a term has undergone many evolutions; its definition depends on who is defining it. Indeed, modern historians no longer use the term because of its negative connotation. Generally, the Dark Ages referred to the period of time ushered in by the fall of the Western Roman Empire. This took place when the last Western emperor, Romulus Augustulus, was deposed by Odoacer, a barbarian. AD 476 was the time of this event.
