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.

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.
