John wrote this approximately in the year 100. I do not believe it is referring to medieval happenings but rather the blood of the Catholic martyrs who were being killed by Nero of the Roman Empire.

John wasn't writing history he was writing prophesy. Nero had died nearly 30 years prior to the writing of Revelation.

And the Protestant martyrs also. Let's not forget them.
