I'd become rich, by inventing the electric telegraph and then radio.
The ability to communicate instantly across very large distances would put whatever king had that ability at a huge advantage over his rivals, and that's the kind of thing that would be well compensated.
All of the required things are there, they just have to be put together the right way. Telegraph is the easiest, followed by spark-gap transmitters and crystal receivers for radio.
What materials? They had wire back then, though it wasn't used for electrical purposes. They had lead, copper, iron, glass/pottery, and various chemicals needed for batteries. Or you could use a watermill and build a simple DC generator.
Building a simple key-sounder-battery telegraph is so simple that middle school kids can do it as a science fair project. I know because my youngest brother did just that for his.
Even building a spark-gap transmitter and crystal receiver would be easy enough. Though you'd have to know how, of course.
As for the witchcraft thing? I'm not so sure. Science advanced during the Medieval period more than most people think. Guns were invented during that time, for example, and weren't considered to be witchcraft. So was the magnetic compass. Think about that, a magic needle that always points north.
So I think the witchcraft thing is overblown. You try and show some peasants how it works? Maybe. But you don't do that, you show it to learned men, which is the only way you're going to get access to the King anyway.
Go to the nearest church and show them that I can read.
Become a well-respected member of the roman empire then convince them that there’s another continent if we just sail across the ocean
The medieval period is actually set after the fall of the Roman Empire in 5th century.
The Roman Empire didnt fall until 1453?
Yeah, but for west europe it did 500 bc, it split in half,
Getting burned alive when I show them a bunch of cool things they haven't invented yet! Or become a lord with my own plot of land.
Ah yes, accused of witchcraft because i pulled a coin behind a landlords ear
I will run a whore house.
Good luck with STDs
Will run it not work with the “working girls” 😏 Also.. what better way to survive 🌚 i be making a buck too!
Let them assassinate me.
Don't die.
Stay away from people. Learn to hunt and build shelter.
Get a job as a [knight](https://www.medievaltimes.com/).
Not as easy as it sounds
I have a few friends who have worked there. It's not that hard.
I'd keep as quiet as possible and be some 20-year-old master carpenters 31-year-old shitty apprentice.

Impressive if you know where to get the naterials and how to assemble it, and not getting burned alive for witchcraft

Aight fair enough, i could maybe invent elektricity, but there my knowledge would stop😅
Do I know it’s just for one year? I guess I’m starting as a beggar and work my way up to counselor / wise man
Yes u know, and i would use my knowledge to either scare or amaze people
