        Dismisses all other names as "potentially misleading" etc, but this judgment surely applies to 'Dark Ages' far more than any other....!

        Suggests useful if *somehow* ignore pejorative connotations(!!) & use to mean ‘lost centuries’ due to difficulty of knowing what happened...

        But even if could strip of such connotations, not convinced that these are ‘lost centuries’ & so historically unrecoverable that=Dark Age...

        Ofc, I may be biased as I wrote a PhD+book arguing that not wholly 'lost'/Dark in eastern England (http://www.caitlingreen.org/p/britons-and-anglo-saxons-lincolnshire.html …), but still..! ;)

        @shlin28 Don't see what's wrong with "fifth and sixth centuries" myself.

        True, except early-mid5thC arguably rather different to late 6thC etc---tyranny of centuries & so forth! ;)

        Of course, everything can be qualified. But my point was that chronological precision is almost always preferable.

        @Pseudo_Isidore In Ireland, we find this Dark Age very amusing: we had a "golden age" instead ;-) #notveryserious
