"Medieval" is another word for The Middle Ages.

Most British historians count the Middle Ages as roughly the period between The Norman Conquest in 1066 and the end of The Wars of the Roses in 1485/7.

The United Kingdom of Great Britain came into existence with The Act of Union in 1707 which united the crowns of England and Scotland so the United Kingdom did not exist in the medieval period.

European historians count The Middle Ages slightly differently and the concept has no relevance in some other parts of the world such as Asia, The Middle East, Australasia and the so-called New World.
