From World Of Darkness Wiki

Vampire: The Dark Ages is a historical setting for Vampire: The Masquerade which takes place during the Long Night begining in 1197 and continuing forward until 1204 when the Long Night comes to a crashing halt with the fall of Constantinople to the Latins. The revised edition (Dark Ages: Vampire) takes place in 1230, during the era of the War of Princes. The Dark Ages line both expanded on the history and setting of VtM by adding historical data and filling in gaps, as well as by introducing mechanisms later used in Vampire: The Masquerade Revised Edition.
