__**What types of clothing were avaliable? **__
They had colorful clothing through dyes they found from plants and other essientials. The under garments were worn by both men and women which was usualy a t-shirt and an undertunic. At night when it was time to goto sleep they didn’t wear any clothes, they were in the nude! In the winter they wore cloaks, mittens and woolen hats also had shoes but it wasn’t common. When it came to clothing, the “peasants” took advantage of the material we call wool because it is warm and cheap. The upper class also used wool but they added color(dye) which came to fashion. Men wore tunics or jackes with leggings. The women wore Gowns and headdresses.

__**What materials were used? **__
In the Midieval times the materials they used to constuct clothing items were usualy wool, for there warmth and quantity, not for there comfortability(Itchy).

The difference between all these catagories is based upon money and whom they are born from. Peasants are classified as lower class because they work in the fields and do hard manual labor which has very little pay. Clergymen were separate from the normal everyday people because they were in the church and back in the day the church pretty much was the advisory to the king. Lastly royalty is the highest class with the most money and power, they are usually born into royalty and wealth and were known as the king.
