High fantasy takes place in a totally fictional world with no relationship to our own (like Lord of the Rings’ Middle Earth). Epic quests, journeys, and wars are common in high fantasy. Whatever is happening in high fantasy, it is larger-than-life and important.

Medieval fantasy takes place in the middle ages (which is roughly between the 5th-10th centuries) or in a world heavily influenced by this time period. Most medieval fantasy is high fantasy, but not all high fantasy is medieval.
