Why did earlier historians consider the medieval period the "dark ages"? (5 points) the time had no electricity and so it was an age that was quite dark. the era seemed less important than the renaissance and the roman empire. castles were very dark and did not let in much light. the power of the church stamped out the many bright pagan rituals.

nothing certain is known about what happened, but it seems that the country declined gradually, perhaps due to bad government, or, more likely, due to a series of bad harvests, which resulted in widespread and recurrent famine.
