Dark Ages

edit

Strictly speaking it is about the Middle Ages not the Dark ages (c. 5th–10th century). The robber barons flourished along the Rhine River chiefly in the 13th century, though there were some during the 100 years war (15th c.). Otto probably was set in the 13th. c. It is true that, in popular usage, the Middle Ages is referred to as the "Dark Ages". But historians today frown on that practice.
