Your Favorite Historical Fiction Novels

[Seagrave]

A good series I've read has been the "Camulod Chronicles" by Jack Whyte. It is set in Britain at the end of Roman occupation in the 5th century. It is suposed to be a realistic/historical story cronicleing the beginings of Camalote (Camulod) and the early life of Aurthur told from the perspective of Caius Merlyn Britannicus (Merlyn). The series has about 7 books and is fairly well written. It makes a good attempt at turing the legand into somthing that is realistic and belivable.

[Prince Cobra]

I vote for The Name of the Rose by Umberto Eco andShogun by Clavel. I like I, Claudius by Robert Graves , too.
There is a good story in the Mead hall about princess Eleanor written by Frogbeastegg ( I am reading it from time to time )

[Stiuartas]

My favourites is books by Mika Waltari - The Dark Angel (Johannes Angelos, 1952),The Etruscan (Turms kuolematon, 1955),The Egyptian (Sinuhe egyptiläinen, 1945). Deep historical context makes you believe, that everything was like Waltari writes. And of course Eco's -"the name of the rose".

[Csargo]

"The Bastard King" i dont remember by who but its about William the Conquerer and its really good
