What was the Medieval Usage for Marigolds?
The flowers were used in ointments for treating minor injuries.





But as the first poster said...as a dye plant was most likely the most common usage. (The healing arts were not practiced by many, but lots of common folk made and dyed their own cloth)
Reply:it was used for dyeing and other things.
