'Dark Ages' only ever referred to the period 476 AD to about 1000 AD - and nowadays,historians prefer the term Early Middle Ages instead.
476 to c1000 Early Middle Ages (previously known as the Dark Ages)
c1000 to c1300 High Middle Ages
c1300 to 1492 Later Middle Ages.

no
to the assertion that all the middle ages have been referred to dark ages, to the question as to whether I agree, and to the demand that I do your homework and provide you with examples.
