The Medieval History page covers mainly European History from the 4th to 16th centuries. But dabbles outside, as well, to show you the stories behind the kings, knights, plagues and wars.
The Middle Ages (AKA the "Dark Ages") cover an enormous period ranging from the Roman Emperor Constantine's conversion to Christianity in 313 C.E. to Martin Luther's launching of the Protestant Reformation in 1517. Everything in between is fair game.
