Europe was divide into countries in a way similar to what it is today in many places, primarily by language and culture. Parts of Europe were divided into many kingdoms, and other parts were not. The reasons behind the way things were varied from place to place.

The Byzantine Empire was large through much of the Middle Ages, though it tended to get smaller as time passed. France was not quite as large as it is today. The Holy Roman Empire was a good deal larger than modern Germany.

After the middle of the 10th century, England was about the same size as it is.

There a number of kingdoms within the Holy Roman Empire, but they were feudal territories inside a monarchy, much like counties or duchies. Spain was divided into small kingdoms, which gradually united. Italy had kingdoms and republics, and was basically a number of city states at some points in history.

Norway, Sweden, and Denmark were separate kingdoms, but they were united in the Kalmar Union by Queen Margaret I of Denmark.

What were the two kingdoms called in the middle ages?

There were many kingdoms in the European Middle Ages. There were probably kingdoms that have been forgotten to history, because much of northern and eastern Europe has no history until about 1000 AD. England was one kingdom. But before England existed as we know it, that land was in the kingdoms of Essex, Middlesex, Wessex, Mercia, Kent, Northumbria, and East Anglia, along with ten or so smaller kingdoms. After they combined, the Vikings divided off the northern part into a kingdom called the Danelaw. Spain consisted of the kingdoms of the Sueves and Visigoths at the beginning of the Middle Ages. The Visigoths conquered the Sueves. But they were conquered by Moors. And then, the people who opposed the Moors founded the kingdoms of Asturias, Galicia, Castile, Leon, Aragon, Catalonia, Navarre, and Portugal, while the Moors divided into a number of smaller kingdoms. There were kingdoms within empires. The Carolingian Empire included the Kingdom of the Franks and the Kingdom of the Lombards. The Holy Roman Empire also had kingdoms within it. The list seems endless.
