Read this excerpt from a book that describes clothing in medieval Europe.Nobles, including lords and ladies, often were dressed in rich-colored clothing, sometimes even with golden thread. Dyeing clothes was very expensive at the time; therefore, only the wealthy could afford to have clothing made with vibrant colors.
