It had provided a safe haven during the Dark Ages
The accumulation of knowledge and technology that developed during the Dark Ages?
By the eighteenth century, the knowledge and technology that had developed during the Dark Ages were instrumental in starting the Renaissance. Classical literature, art, architecture and science saw a resurgence. Scientists and philosophers were also inspired to build upon theories that had been discovered during the Dark Ages.
What were some of the problems faced by people in the roman empire during the dark ages?

Is there a better name for the Dark Ages?
It is probably better to refer to the Dark Ages as the Early Middle Ages, if the time intended is 476 to 1000 AD. Otherwise, it is better to refer to the time as the Middle Ages, or part of the Middle Ages. The term dark ages is based on the idea that this was a time of ignorance and lack of intellectual development, which is not the case. The decline in intellectual activity began in the second or third century, and was largely complete by the year 476. During the so-called Dark Ages, there was a slow growth in learning. Schools were being opened during the entire period, architecture was developing, things were being invented, at least one encyclopedia was written, and commerce was slowly improving.
