What do you call the period of the European history between ancient and modern eras?

Answer:

If you assume that the Ancient Era ended with the sacking of Rome and the Modern Era began with the Rennaissance, then the period in between was the Medieval or "Dark" Ages. Dark because of the lack of written records from that period due to the low levels of literacy.
