Anyone interested in the time period of the "Middle Ages" should be sure to research the "phantom time" hypothesis.
Conventional history holds that the Middle Ages lasted from the late 5th to the late 15th century, about 1000 years. As one data point, a case is made by Anatoly Fomenko that Jesus was born in what we now refer to as the year 1152 AD.
Since they had to invent almost a thousand years, one can see that conventional history from this time period should be considered very suspect.
Fomenko is a a larper imo, however Illig's phantom time hypothesis is worth to be considered. it's not such a long period after all, just 297 years, and the implications of a successful conspiracy between the papacy and the kaiser to shift the calendar by that many years in order to fulfill a prophecy would be mind blowing. one of my favorite conspiracy theories, if you can put it that way
I, for one, hold myself to somewhat more rigorous level of analysis than "is a a larper", but we all insist on doing research our own way. Thanks for your contribution.
there are books in German by Illig and I'm surprised to find out they were not translated into English. there's an interdisciplinary bulletin that's been published between 89-18, but it's all in German too

it's hard to find anything unbiased online regarding this hypothesis. the way it's reported is mainly to discredit it, so I have no useful links in English.
it's funny how on the other hand Fomenko's work is translated to English, but this must be due to the fact that he was hijacked by the Tartaria/mudflood/missing history of America movement. I see the idea of a millennium gone missing thrown around a lot on Bitchute
