Hi! It’s great to see you diving into medieval historical fiction—there’s so much rich storytelling to explore! A fantastic starting point is “The Once and Future King” by T.H. White. This book reimagines the legend of King Arthur and offers a blend of humor, drama, and deep philosophical insights. Another gripping read is “A Distant Mirror” by Barbara Tuchman, which provides a thorough historical analysis of the 14th century through the life of a French nobleman, making it a perfect blend of fiction and history.
