~ The Medieval Period of History ~
The Middle Ages is a period in European history which, along with its adjective ‘Medieval’, was first referred to by italian scholars and academics of the late fifteenth century. They were basically stating that the society in which they now lived was significantly more civilized and advanced in many ways, than that which had existed during the previous thousand years. This may have been true within certain elite sections of Italian society which had begun to emulate the art and philosophy of ancient
Greece, but generally in Italy and Europe overall no all-pervading change had occurred.

Historians since that time have, however, used the terms 'middle ages' and medieval as a convenient way to refer to that general period in European history.
It has been regarded as extending approximately from the end of the fifth century AD, when the control of the Roman Empire had ended, until the end of the fifteenth century AD, when the modern world was considered to have begun.
The concept that a new age had commenced across
Europe after the fall of the Roman Empire, along with its laws and control of society, may be quite a valid one. However the idea that something revolutionary happened relating to philosophy, art, literature, science, religion and civilization generally etc at a certain date in the fifteenth century has much less foundation. Nevertheless, historians since the fifteenth century have put forward various convenient but arbitrary events and dates to contain this period.
