The one thing I never get in the history – why german “barbarian” tribes, one of the reason of the fall of the Roman Empire, later recognized themselves to be the Roman Empire?

I’ve read many times that Middle Ages/medieval times in Europe are considered to be started in 800 (coronation of Charlemagne) and finished in 1500. There is no specific reason to take 1500 other than this being a ‘round number’ AFAIK.

This map is really confusing me. It shows England controlling a significant proportion of Ireland, yet 1453 predates large-scale plantations in Ireland, and during this time is when English control over Ireland is among its lowest levels, localised mainly around the Pale (i.e., Dublin).

The end of the Middle Ages in Europe is marked by the slow transition of Europe to the Renaissance starting in the 14th century in Italian Peninsula, not the conquest of Constantinople (1453), or the rediscovery of America by Europeans (1492)!
