The middle ages lasted a thousand years and happened across a continent. There were a lot of kings; each was an individual, and each could do pretty much what he wanted. It was kind of like the joke, "Where does the elephant sit? Anywhere he wants."

That said, however, it seems kings might usually have had no breakfast, or, if you prefer, a noon time dinner for breakfast.

Working people needed to have calories in them to work, so they ate breakfast. People who did not labor avoided breakfast because not having it was a sign of status.

The Church was against gluttony, so it advocated not eating unnecessary meal.

There is a link below to the section on meals in a Wikipedia article on medieval cuisine.
