"Medieval English" covers two different languages - Old English (up to about 1150) and Middle English (for the rest of the Middle Ages).

In Old English the word for week is weocu, wuce or wucu, the first u being like the French sound in "tu" and the c is like k.

In Middle English this had evolved into wike [weekeh] or weke [waykeh], but the term seven-night [seh-vehn niCHt] was also widely used.

The modern English word week has gradually developed from the Middle English version.
