Best Answer

During the Renaissance period, it was particularly noted that Kings and Queens wore gowns that were purple. In that time, purple stands for nobility. Thus, the color purple is very expensive to dye because it only comes from aged clams.

How many dresses did queens have in the Medieval Times and the Renaissance?

Queens in the earliest medieval times had no more dresses than an ordinary modern woman would. In fact I would bet some had only two, one to wear and one to wash. But then some queens were confined to convents. Things got better for women in general as the Middle Ages passed. I have read the when Queen Elizabeth I died, she had many hundreds of gowns.
