Wondering if anyone knows of resources for historical speech like a medieval person, particularly a knight of the 14th or 15th century.

Which country/region and around what decade?
After all that is like saying "How do you speak like a military officer of the 18th/19th century from Earth".

You'll want to find resources for Middle English (this is around Chaucer's time, later in his life). There are a few websites that cover some of the basics. For instance, here's a page that covers some basic pronunciation:
