There was no first king of medieval times, as there were kings already around when the Middle Age began. Several of the Germanic tribes had kings, as, for example, the Franks, who had a kingdom within the Roman Empire from 357 or 358 AD.
When the Middle Ages began, there were already a number of fairly well developed kingdoms in Europe. The Franks had already been there about 50 to 100 years, depending on the date you prefer for the beginning of the age. The Burgundian Kingdom had begun. The Ostrogoths and the Visigoths both had extensive kingdoms, occupying Italy and Spain respectively. The Vandals had been operating a kingdom that covered most of the North African Coast. All of these kingdoms had their own kings when the middle ages began, and all were of fairly large size and importance, even by modern standards.
If by first you mean most important, Charlemagne may qualify. He reigned from 768 to 814 as King of the Franks, and controlled a very large empire, about the same size as the old West Roman Empire, when he was crowned Emperor of the West by the Pope. His territory included almost all of modern France, Germany, Belgium, the Netherlands, and Switzerland, and much of modern Austria and Italy. In fact it could easily have been the largest empire Europe would see until the Russian Empire surpassed it.
