There was not nearly as much scientific and medical knowledge commonly known at that time, and the church at the time often fought against advances in medicine because of superstitions and lack of understanding. Modern media did not exist, so much knowledge was just passed around by word of mouth, especially before the printing press was invented in 1450. Many people did not know how to read at the time.

I am not sure the Church was "hard" during the Middle Ages. The Church spent a lot of energy providing for the sick and poor, giving people refuge, representing the needs of the poor to the kings, and protecting people.

Was there EVER a Queen Victoria in the Middle Ages?

There may have been a Queen Victoria in the Middle Ages, but I cannot find any reference to her. There was a Victoria who was the mother of Victorinus, a man who claimed to be the Roman Emperor in the 3rd century, but she was not a queen and did not live in the Middle Ages. I searched online and in a hard copy of the the Webster's Biographical Dictionary dating from 1948.
