    Dark Ages or Early Middle Ages, the early medieval period of western European history-specifically, the time (476-800 CE) when there was no Roman (or Holy Roman) emperor in the West or, more generally, the period between about 500 and 1000, which was marked by frequent warfare and a virtual disappearance of urban life. The name of the period refers to the movement of so-called barbarian peoples-including the Huns, Goths, Vandals, Bulgars, Alani, Suebi, and Franks-into what had been the Western Roman Empire. The term "Dark Ages" is now rarely used by historians because of the value judgment it implies. Though sometimes taken to derive its meaning from the dearth of information about the period, the term's more usual and pejorative sense is of a period of intellectual darkness and barbarity. See Middle Ages; Germanic peoples.
