Medieval people knew of copper, silver, gold, iron, lead, tin, zinc, Mercury, and possibly others.

Alloys of these metals, such as brass and bronze, were known. Steel, an iron alloy with a carbon content, was also known, and the blast furnace for steel manufacture was a medieval invention.

Antimony might have been known, because there is clear evidence of its use in ancient times, but we have no records of it prior to the Renaissance.
