What we'd understand as medieval music would be lute and harpsichord pieces, so you'll want to be picking close to the bridge for that jangly tone. Additionally, it'll generally need to have quite a lyrical flavour. That is, if you're intent upon making something up.

When you say medieval music. I'd reply with. Look in the Baroque era. It sounds stereotypically medieval.
