The Viking raids began in 793 AD with a raid on Lindisfarne. The Viking Age ended during the 9th and 10th centuries. There are authors who place the date ending the age at 1066, but calling the French speaking Normans who invaded England Vikings because their ancestors were Vikings a hundred years earlier might be stretching a point a bit too much.

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.
The most powerful leader in western Europe during the early part of the Middle Ages was?
Charlemagne was without doubt the most powerful man in western Europe in the Early Middle Ages. He ruled a country that included most or all of current France, Germany, Switzerland, the Netherlands, and Belgium, along with major parts of Italy and Austria.
