Answer:
From what I understand, the Dark Ages was a period of time in history in which technology and overall quality of life was extremely lacking. It was a period of time when the Feudal System (Lords, vassals, serfs, knights, ect) was in full swing. It wasn't a very good system of living. Simply put, it made rich people SUPER rich, and poor people SUPER poor, and there wasn't really a way to make your way up in ranks. If you were born in a poor family, you will die in a poor family.
Along with that, disease was often rampant. This was due to horrific living conditions, poor medicine, and lack of nutritious food.
The Middle Ages was nasty bro lol. If you want to learn more in a humorous fashion, look up Horrible Histories. Its a British TV show about history, but they portray it through sketch comedy... its really funny if you don't mind toilet humor every now and then haha.
