The number of letters in the English alphabet varied in medieval times, but it was generally around 24 letters:
Old English Latin alphabet: Used from the 8th to 12th centuries, this alphabet had about 24 letters. Most of the letters came from the Latin alphabet, but two were modified Latin letters (Æ, Ð), and two came from the runic alphabet (Ƿ, Þ). The letters Q and Z were rarely used, and the letter J was not yet in use.
