- Hans-Georg Lundahl
- Studied Latin (language) at Lund University
- St. Andrew's Feast after First Vespers
- 29—30.XI.2024
- Giving the actual years? Or century?
Giving a subperiod of the Middle Ages? Early Middle Ages, High Middle Ages, Late Middle Ages?
Because, if you meant “Dark Ages” that’s way LESS accurate.
Middle Ages simply means “in the middle between Antiquity and Renaissance” which is true. It’s inadequate, but it’s true. It’s disparaging, as if it had nothing to offer on its own, but it’s still true.
Dark Ages is untrue. Some tried to reuse it for a specific period where the military balance was in disfavour of Christendom, OK, makes some sense, but it’s not how it’s generally taken. As Dark Ages is usually used, it is complete BS.
If you are intending to harrass me over being more learned and more balanced than you are, which this looks like, GET OUT OF MY LIFE!
