Well the dark ages were brought on by the fall of the Roman Empire which was brought down in part by the change structure from a military and conquest based power system to one more church centric. The theory goes like this, until the time of Christianity the way to power in the roman empire was to become a powerful general. This changed as Christianity became the route to power and the brightest and best eneterd the church rather than the military. It wasn't the whole story but who knows what a better class of general could have achieved against the invading barbarian hordes
