I’ve just spent the last two years reading both the Lymond and Niccolo series by Dorothy Dunnett plus King Hereafter, so that’s fifteen long books and they are superb. If you don’t know her they are definitely worth a look. Incredibly well-researched and plotted.

Ooh no I haven’t come across those - will definitely check them out as I love a good series! Thanks for sharing.
Carlo Ginzburg’s The Cheese and the Worms, and Eamon Duffy’s The Voices of Morebath, if I can stretch the envelope to the 16th century.
The Cheese and the Worms! That is a blast from my (undergrad) past, but I agree, it is a really great, well-written history.
(me scribbling all these titles into my TBR notebook)
hehe, I have to say a lot of them have ended up on my TBR list too!
Hope you enjoy reading them when you get the chance 🥰
