What did a gladiator wear?
There were very few female gladiators in reality- some films and computer games have featured female gladiators, but this is pure fiction. In ancient Rome, gladiatorial combat was very largely a male phenomenon. The only women who worked as gladiators were Scythians from occupied regions of the Caucasus and the Northern regions of the Middle East, who came from a tribal culture that featured women in combat sport. Often, these women were professional display-fighters who went to Rome voluntarily to practice their art, since the pay was better. They were usually 'net fighters'- that is, they would attempt to snare an armed female opponent with a net, then kill them with their own weapons once they'd been captured. Others fought using tridents or short swords. Their costume was minimal- they wore only a short leather skirt and sandals, but sometimes went completely naked! But many Romans disliked seeing women in combat sports, even if they were willing competitors- they found it an affront to decency, and did not wish to encourage it. Women were sometimes used as victims in the gladiatorial arena, though most Romans drew the line at this and found it repugnant. Although aspects of Roman life were very brutal, there was nonetheless a basic code of chivalry, part of which included an understanding that women should not be subject to the same extremes of torment and degradation as men. Women were usually only thrown into the arena under the dictatorships of Nero and Caligula, both of whom were genocidal psychopaths who were completely insane- in such cases, many Senators boycotted the 'games' and encouraged the public to do likewise, and even a lot of male gladiators refused to take up arms against women. Most of the female victims were Christian converts, who were caught up in Nero's persecution of Christians- they were usually pitted against wild animals such as lions or bears, and whilst not given any protective clothing to wear, were usually armed, with tridents, swords or maces. They also sometimes had shields. In other cases, an unarmed woman would be tied to a post in an arena, and left to be defended by an armed male victim against savage animals. The crowd were often impressed with the bravery and courage of such innocent people who were forced to fight and kill just for 'sport', and usually demanded clemency for survivors, becoming very angry if this was not awarded.

Why were carvels able to sail against the wind while other ships cannot?
Well, back then people used the traditional square sails. So when the Caravel was built they used triangular sails instead of the traditional square sails which made the ship able to sail against the wind.
What is trail by battle in the middle ages?
I guess you mean trial by combat. This was a judicial trial with God acting as judge and jury, which was introduced by the Normans in 1066 and lasted for about 500 years. It was a means of settling disputes where there were no witnesses or legal evidence, just one man's word against another - it was believed that God would aid the innocent party and ensure the guilty party was beaten. During the 11th and 12th centuries the method was this: if both sides agreed to trial by combat, a date and place were arranged and witnesses to the combat summoned - these could be the king and his court, bishops or members of a local monastic community. Both combatants would be stripped to just their tunics - no armour or helmets were allowed (this ensured that an armoured nobleman had no advantage over a craftsman, for example, who owned no armour). The weapons were clubs made with two cow horns securely attached to a wooden handle, used something like pick axes. Both men were also given an oddly shaped shield, smaller and more square than the kite shields commonly used at that date. The combat began at a signal and must continue until one man was either killed or could no longer continue to fight; no one could interfere or stop the combat. At a trial by combat at Reading in 1163, the knight Henry of Essex was accused of treason by Robert de Montfort. Henry was so severely wounded in the fight that it was thought he was dying - the monks of Reading Abbey took him into their infirmary to await his death, but he recovered. The case against him having been proven by losing the combat, his lands, property and wealth were all confiscated by the king and Henry became a monk at the Abbey. In time, trial by jury became far more common than trial by combat, which became extremely rare in the following centuries.

Who were the gladiators in ancient Rome?
The slaves where the gladiators for the most part. However there were free men who "signed up" to be gladiatorial fighters usually due to financial difficulties. Many enslaved gladiators who had won their freedom remained in the business, due to the adulation of the crowd and the prize money.
