I want to know the answer to the following question:
Who was the first writer to date the Middle Ages from 476?
All the background I'm provided with is that "In the 19th century, the entire Middle Ages were often referred to as the "Dark Ages",[B] but with the adoption of these subdivisions, use of this term was restricted to the Early Middle Ages, at least among historians.". Is that enough to answer the question?
Answer: no
