Why did earlier historians consider the Medieval Period the "Dark Ages"?

The time had no electricity and so it was an age that was quite dark.
The era seemed less important than the Renaissance and the Roman Empire.
Castles were very dark and did not let in much light.
The power of the Church stamped out the many bright pagan rituals.

Answer 3

Earlier historians coined the term to describe the medieval period between the Renaissance and the fall of Rome - that it was a dark period of European civilization marked by a relative lack of records in many parts of the Continent. Historians were literally "in the dark" on many events in that period of time hence, the "Dark" Ages. The more romantic use indicated the loss of "light" in the world with the fall of the Roman Empire as mankind scraped itself together over centuries into the Renaissance.
