Considering the effects of the plague, highly variable would be a possibly accurate answer. You need to get into statistics if you want to find out for whichever portion of time you are interested in. Medieval times covered several hundred years with lots of problems, including plague and war. It's not something one can make a monolithic statement on.

That's a virtually impossible question to answer, the best you can get are rough guesses (which someone else has provided) which could be wildly inaccurate. Besides what do you mean by "medieval"? That's a highly variable term too, though roughly 950AD to 1550AD.

Most estimates are that at the time of the Norman Conquest it was about 1,800.000, rising to 4 million by the early 14th century. The Black Death reduced it to 2.6 million, and then there was a further gradual fall to about 2 million in the early 15th century. It wasn't till mid-century that it started to rise again.
