Am I the only one left in the world who still believes that the Dark Ages were dark??@max @Tarnport @dnkboston I've always been given to believe that the term "Dark Ages" refers only to the first half or so of the middle ages: In Britain I assume that would be the period after the Romans left, up until maybe the Norman Conquest or some time around then. So when we think about enormous stone castles and shiny plate armour, that's all late medieval. But the viking invasion, Bede, Cuthbert, Oswald; they were all in the Dark Ages. Please correct me, I'm no historian!
