When would you say the middle ages began and ended? Granted, this is a subjective question, but I locate it from the Fall of Rome to the Fall of Constantinople, except that places the beginning rather early.

I think the Middle Ages run from approximately AD 500 (the fall of Rome) to AD 1500 (the rise of Luther and the Reformation) broadly speaking.
They are most definitely, of course, the ages that were in the middle...

Then came the Middle Ages. King Alfred conquered the Dames, King Arthur lived in the Age of Shivery, King Harlod mustarded his troops before the Battle of Hastings, and Joan of Arc was cannonized by George Bernard Shaw. Finally, the magna Carta provided that no free man should be hanged twice for the same offense.
In midevil times most of the people were alliterate. The greatest writer of the time was Chaucer, who wrote many poems and verse and also wrote literature. Another tale tells of William Tell, who shot an arrow through an apple while standing on his son's head.
The Renaissance was an age in which more individuals felt the value of their human being. Martin Luther was nailed to the church door at Wittenberg for selling papal indulgences. He died a horrible death, being excommunicated by a bull. it was the painter Donatello's interest in the female nude that made him the father of the Renaissance. It was an age of great inventions and discoveries. Gutenberg invented the Bible. Sir Walter Raleigh is a historical figure because he invented cigarette. Another important invention was the circulation of blood. Sir Francis Drake circumcised the world with a 100-foot clipper.
Perhaps its my single-centric 24 year old mind at work but when the thread read "Date of the Middle Ages" I thought you were going to tell us the greatest female prospect the era had to offer.
