The Middle Ages are usually regarded as having lasted from the abdication of Romulus Augustulus, Emperor of the Roman Empire of the West, in 476, which is taken as the date of the fall of the Roman Empire, until the fall of Constantinople in 1453. Sometimes a final date of 1492 is given, as this corresponds with both the fall of the Emirate of Grenada and the discovery of the New World. The usual divisions used are:
- Early Middle Ages, from 476 to 1000.
- High Middle Ages from 1000 to 1300.
- Late Middle Ages from 1300 to 1453 or 1492.
The Early Middle Ages began with the Age of Migrations, in which Germanic tribes entered the territory of the old West Roman Empire and set up kingdoms. After that was a time in which the Kingdoms grew, and this was the period of the Carolingian Empire and its division into the Kingdom of France and the Holy Roman Empire.
The High Middle Ages saw progress in art, architecture, commerce, government, and so on. It was a time of the crusades, and it was during this time that many town and cities grew to become important.
The Late Middle Ages was a time in which there were famines and the Black Death. But it was also a time in which the Renaissance started.
