Explanation:

1. The Black Death began in 1347, while the Fall of Rome was in 476, so the statement is False.
2. Charlemagne was crowned in 800, and the Crusades began in 1096, so the statement is True.
3. The Black Death started in 1347, and the printing press was invented in 1444, so the statement is True.
4. The timeline notes Vikings invaded starting in 835, while the Crusades (fights over the Holy Land) began in 1096; Vikings did not invade the Holy Land, so the statement is False.
5. The timeline explicitly states 476 (Fall of Rome) marks the start of the Middle Ages, so the statement is True.

Next, collect the first letter of each answer, then order them numerically by question number: F (1), T (2), T (3), F (4), T (5).
