The Early Middle Ages or Early Medieval Period, typically regarded as lasting from the 5th or 6th century to the 10th century CE,[1]marked the start of the Middle Ages ofEuropean history. The term "Late Antiquity" is used to emphasize elements of continuity with the Roman Empire, while "Early Middle Ages" is used to emphasize developments characteristic of the later medieval period. As such it overlaps with Late Antiquity, following the decline of the Western Roman Empire, and precedes the High Middle Ages (c. 10th to 13th centuries).

The period saw a continuation of trends evident since late classical antiquity, including population decline, especially in urban centres, a decline of trade, a small rise in global warming and increased immigration. The Early Middle Ages was labelled the "Dark Ages" in the 19th century, a characterization based on the relative scarcity of literary and cultural output from this time. However, the Eastern Roman Empire, or Byzantine Empire, continued to survive, though in the 7th century the Islamic caliphates conquered swathes of formerly Roman territory.

Many of these trends were reversed later in the period. In 800 the title of emperor was revived in Western Europe by Charlemagne, whose Carolingian Empire greatly affected later European social structure and history. Europe experienced a return to systematic agriculture in the form of the feudal systemwhich introduced such innovations as three-field planting and the heavy plough. Barbarianmigration stabilized in much of Europe, although the north was greatly affected by theViking expansion.

Early medieval period is also known as 'Dark Ages', since there weren't many improvements in the life of the European people of that period. But, there were many achievements in terms of architecture.

Gothic architects built cathedrals which shows their involvement in religious belief. Intrinsic art of the cathedrals were attractive. This depicts their cultural achievement.

Importance was also given to learning, especially by the monks.
