Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
It depends on whether you want the time of Arthur, roughly the sixth century, or the time when the Arthur stories were written, roughly the 12th century!. By the time that the Arthur stories were being produced warfare and dress had changed quite a bit from the 6th century!.

Le Morte D'Arthur's descriptions are of the high middle ages, so you have large chargers and plate armor!. Quite a bit different from the 6th century when horsemen, aided by the stirrup were just beginning to dominate the battlefield!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Not a lot!. also, most were peasants or selfs and therefore had a single set of clothes!.
Google "costumes period" for a raft of sites!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
