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.

JudyThe word "medieval" is the adjective used to indicate something was from the Middle Ages, so the meanings of these two terms are very closely related.
The term Dark Ages usually appears as an old designation for the time of about the 5th century to the 11th century. This time is now usually referred to as the Early Middle Ages, and is regarded as the first half of the Middle Ages. After the Early Middle Ages was a time lasting from about 1000 to 1350 which is called the High Middle Ages, and this is followed by a time from about 1350 to 1450 or 1500 called the Late Middle Ages.
