No. The Middle Ages is the period of Western European history from 500 - 1500 A.D. The Crusades were a series of invasions of the Middle East by Europeans, instigated by various Popes during the Middle Ages.

Why is the medieval times also called the middle ages?

Middle ages started in 410 AD with the fall of Rome and ended in the 1400's with the age of exploration. It was a 1,000 years of "darkness" and superstition. Run by the Church it taught people they were born in sin and would die in sin if they didn't follow the dictates of the church. It was a time of chaos and war, when government was gone, and when people were slaves to the Nobility. The dates given are approximate as there is no exact definition - and different dates are sometimes given for different countries. ~Jponbac Gunna


Were the Tudors in the Middle ages?

The Middle Ages were coming to an end just about the time the Tudors were gaining power. Owen Tudor was clearly a man of the Middle Ages. His grandson, King Henry VII, is the man I think of as the first Renaissance King of England. In fact, if you look at the coins minted in England during the Late Middle Ages, each king's portrait on the pennies looks exactly like the previous king's, and all were face on. King Henry VII had the same portrait on his early coins, but his later coins had a realistic profile, which was quite obviously Renaissance art...

Are middle ages and medieval times the same?

The Middle Ages and medieval times are the same thing. The word medieval is defined as the adjectival form for Middle Ages, and comes from Latin words meaning middle ages. One thing to remember, however, is that while a given historian usually does not distinguish between the meanings of the two terms, historians disagree with each other about the dates of the period. So one historian might say the terms Middle Ages and medieval times both refer to the times from 476 to 1453, and another might say they both terms refer to the times from from 1066 to 1485. There is a link below to an article on the Middle Ages.

Quick answer: Sort of. Slightly longer answer: Most scholars do not use the term "Dark Ages." This term usually refers to the period from the end of antiquity up until approximately the year 1000 C.E. Most scholars refer to this period as the Early Middle Ages. The is followed by the "High Middle Ages", 1000-1300, and the "Late Middle Ages" from 1300-1500.


Were the clothing during the Renaissance and the middle ages the same?

There was a certain overlap between the Middle Ages and the Renaissance, particularly in Italy, where the Renaissance began about a hundred years before the Middle Ages ended. So there was a point when they were the same. Fashions change, however, and this was especially true in both the Late Middle Ages and the Renaissance. Apart from that bit of overlap, clothing of the Renaissance and the Middle Ages were different.
