Which were the most popular key signatures in the Medieval era?
I am writing a piece of composition software and need information regarding different musical eras in order to make the algorithms work for different time periods. Therefore it would help to know if there were a few specific key signatures that were favoured back then.
The same information would also be helpful regarding the Renaissance, Baroque. Classical, Romantic, and Impressionist eras however they're not as much of a priority. Thanks ^_^.

Remember that Key signatures and the general Major / minor tonalities where an invention of the Baroque era. In medieval times it was the church modes that where the big daddy.
I know this is not going to be the answer that you want but none of the key signatures where popular in Medieval times simply because they had not been invented yet.
