    The Medieval era started, depending on the source, around:
  • 312 A.D., the reign of Constantine and start of the Christian Empire;
  • 395 A.D., the death of Theodosius and division of the Empire into Eastern and Western;
  • 410 A.D., the Sack of Rome by the Visigoths, led by Alaric;
    or
  • 476 A.D., beginning of the barbarian rule of Rome.
    Again depending on source, the Middle Ages end around:
  • 1350, the approximate start of the Renaissance;
  • 1453, Fall of Constantinople (now Istanbul) to the Turks;
  • 1453, English lose the battle of Castillon, ending The Hundred Years' War;
  • 1492, Christopher Columbus "discovers" the New World;
  • 1517, Martin Luther attempts to "open a dialogue" with the Catholic Church.
