5 Leagues from the Borderlands by Ivan Sorensen and available from Modiphius is designed for solo and co-op play. I'd describe it as RPG-lite.

Haven't played it yet but have had much fun with 5 Parsecs from Home, the Sci-fi equivalent.

Not cheap but worth it, IMHO.

I play 40k solo. I found a decent system to do random actions for each of the 4 units types in 40k. These types are Shooty units, Melee units, units that move and fire but avoid melee. Hybrid which are units that fire and charge if within range. I play 1700 armies against and AI of 2000 pts.
 Works really well.

There are some lovingly described campaigns using 5 Leagues on the Fantasy section and I imagine you can just ignore anything ‘too fantastic’ to play it in a dark age/medieval setting.  I am currently reading the old Donald Faetherstone book on solo wargaming looking for inspiration to make a campaign using Saga solo.

I believe Forbidden Psalm also has a solo play option.

Pulp Alley has a solo deck and is certainly usable for the medieval period. I used it with a buddy for some Samurai Alley and it played very well
