#476 AD# to #1400 AD#

Explanation:

The beginning of the Middle Ages (or Medieval Period) is generally assigned to the fall of Rome in 476 AD.

In contrast, there is no generally accepted date for the end of this period. Best estimates would place it between the Italian artistic revolution in the early to mid 1300's and the fall of Constantinople (which brought an influx of educated Greeks to the rest of Europe) in 1453 AD.
