I've been in touch with Paolo Malanima, who has lots of long-term dataset$
(incredibly interesting if you're into development economic and economic
history). Those are mainly yearly data, though. There's nothing I know of
at higher frequencies, let alone daily data. I seriously doubt there's
any need for a piece of software that can correctly deal with infra-week
periodicities for the Middle Ages. Simply, there are no data at that
disaggregation level.
There are infra-week (but generally incomplete) financial market data
going back to the 12th century -- see for example

How many people want to make use of such data is another matter.
