No.
Let me expand that a bit.
The "stone age" is the period before people learned to work metal. There are a number of division and subdivision as various technologies developed, but in general it means, at least in the context of Europe, before 5500 BCE.
The Middle Ages are much later. It can refer in general to anytime from the collapse of the classical civilizations of the ancient world in Europe, through the start of the renaissance. There are different interpretations as to where exactly to draw the line, some date it from the fall of rome in 410 CE, others to 500 CE. Very roughly the middle ages last until 1500 CE, although the Renaissance was underway in parts of Europe before that.
The early middle ages, sometimes called the Dark Ages, are from the start of the middle ages,where ever you date that, to about the year 1000. This is a period of decreased population, diminished city life, decay and almost end of long distance trade and money economy, and a nearly total loss of literacy outside of the church.
There is something of a reboot around the year 1000, and things start to improve. Very gradually, cities grow, the economy improve, a merchant and urban class begins to develop. The period from 1000 to about 1200CE is known as the Central Middle Ages,
The period from 1200 to 1500 is what most people think of when they hear "middle ages". This is the age of armored knights, chivalry, Chaucer, the medieval romances, the great Cathedrals, it is the setting of stories like Robin Hood and Ivanhoe. While still an agrarian society with a low literacy rate, this period has a vibrant urban culture, art, literature, and architecture we still consider inspirational. There is also a solid money economy with long distance trade. This period is called the "High Middle Ages".
No. The middle ages ended about or close to 1400. Elizabeth I was queen in 1533, so she was after and at the start of the Renaissance

Why is the medieval times also called the middle ages?
Middle ages started in 410 AD with the fall of Rome and ended in the 1400's with the age of exploration. It was a 1,000 years of "darkness" and superstition. Run by the Church it taught people they were born in sin and would die in sin if they didn't follow the dictates of the church. It was a time of chaos and war, when government was gone, and when people were slaves to the Nobility. The dates given are approximate as there is no exact definition - and different dates are sometimes given for different countries. ~Jponbac Gunna
Were the Tudors in the Middle ages?
The Middle Ages were coming to an end just about the time the Tudors were gaining power. Owen Tudor was clearly a man of the Middle Ages. His grandson, King Henry VII, is the man I think of as the first Renaissance King of England. In fact, if you look at the coins minted in England during the Late Middle Ages, each king's portrait on the pennies looks exactly like the previous king's, and all were face on. King Henry VII had the same portrait on his early coins, but his later coins had a realistic profile, which was quite obviously Renaissance art...
Is there any difference between Middle Ages Medieval and Dark Ages?
The Dark Ages is a part of the Middle Ages. It is the early Middle Age, when there werea lot of wars and stuff. At this time, there was no centralized government, meaning that most people lived in the countries, and the kings didn't have much power. The power was held by the Lord of an estate, because they had their own army to protect themselves and their people with, while the kings' armies were too slow to defend the people. Because of this, people relied on the Lords, and the only thing connecting all these estates was their religion- Christianity. Christianity was the only centralized power; all obeyed the pope. At this time, they believed that people should be obedient, faithful, and know their place. People slept with their animals (pigs and cows), except for the Lords. However, the late Middle Age was different. The power shifted back to the king, and people moved back to the cities. They got a new agricultural system called the "three-field system", and produced more crops than ever. Compared to the Golden Age that came next, the early Middle Age was dark alright, and that is why some call it the Dark Ages. In most cases, Dark Ages mean early Middle Ages, back in Ancient Greece, when Dorians destroyed the Mycenaean Greece, in the period that literature was lost. For the Middle Ages, look at the paragraph above for specifics.

There was a certain overlap between the Middle Ages and the Renaissance, particularly in Italy, where the Renaissance began about a hundred years before the Middle Ages ended. So there was a point when they were the same. Fashions change, however, and this was especially true in both the Late Middle Ages and the Renaissance. Apart from that bit of overlap, clothing of the Renaissance and the Middle Ages were different.

Are middle ages and medieval times the same?
The Middle Ages and medieval times are the same thing. The word medieval is defined as the adjectival form for Middle Ages, and comes from Latin words meaning middle ages. One thing to remember, however, is that while a given historian usually does not distinguish between the meanings of the two terms, historians disagree with each other about the dates of the period. So one historian might say the terms Middle Ages and medieval times both refer to the times from 476 to 1453, and another might say they both terms refer to the times from from 1066 to 1485. There is a link below to an article on the Middle Ages.
