"What about the "Mini-Ice Age" which occured in the Late Middle Ages?"

I believe that was the Krakatoa(sp) volcano. Not sure though.

Krakatau went BOOM in 1883, a little late to have caused the Mini-Ice Age. You might be thinking of the "Year Without a Summer" (1815-1816) which was caused by the eruption of the Mt. Tambora in what was then known as the Dutch East Indies which are now part of Indonesia.
