The 'middle ages' is also known as the 'medieval period'.
Life was ok in the middle ages everyone did their fair share of work and all had houses to live in. They all had different jobs but it all added up and got paid for their work. Crime was different depending on what you had done and was fair but not that civilized. The entertainment was good and there was plenty to do even though only rich people were allowed to take part in games like jousting and archery. My opinion is that not everything was as great as it could have been for example having your hands cut off but overall I think the middle ages was quite civilized.
Middle ages things and times are called Medieval.
During the Middle Ages, most people were farmers.
The simple answer is that the medieval period is also called the Middle Ages. There is some complexity, however. The period from the 5th through 10th centuries was called the Dark Ages, but the term Early Middle Ages is more common now. What used to be called the Middle Ages, a time from the 11th to 15th centuries, is now often counted as the High Middle Ages (1000 to 1300) and Late Middle Ages (1300 to some time in the 15th century).
