"Camelot" was a legend, but it was based on the way people did things in the XIII and XIV Centuries — the High Middle Ages, some call it. So what you need is a "Life in the Middle Ages" book, like the one William Stearns Davis wrote. Also, Dover Books publishes several books by Norris on clothing and fashion, as well as picture books of medieval life, which would include pix of their equipment and living conditions.
BTW "ale" doesn’t mean "alcohol". Ale means fermented barley soup. (If you add hops, which give it a bitter flavor, you get beer.) Ale contains alcohol, but only about 5 to 10 percent.
"Alcohol" is the European garble of "al gohul", Arab for "the spirit" — that is, the volatile stuff that steams off first when you heat wine. (We still call alcoholic drinks "spirits" for this reason.)
