Would this knee joint be used at the base of a traditional medieval king beam between central upright and angled braces.

Yes, it could certainly be used as a strut for the king post. You will have to modify the top joinery to accommodate the rafter pitch. Do a search for king post and/or strut in the site and you will find a couple more details that will help you out.
Thanks,
