'Medieval' isn't one time or place, it's a bit like asking how DF races would be treated if they turned up in the real world any time from Queen Victoria's reign onwards. Local reactions would range anywhere from between fleeing in terror, locking them up in a zoo forever, impromptu murder and shanghaiing them into some dodgy reality TV show.

Also, our ancestors weren't an homogenous mass of superstitious dung age simpletons. There are plenty of intelligent, educated and/or powerful people who would be extremely interested in their origins, the point of differences between normal humans, how they got here and also how they could be exploited for profit.
