Can you recommend some best medieval historical novels?

Sure. 'Ivanhoe' by Sir Walter Scott is a classic. It gives a great view of medieval England, with knights, tournaments, and the clash between Saxons and Normans. It's full of adventure and chivalry.

'A Knight in Shining Armor' by Jude Deveraux is a must - read. It's about a modern - day woman who is magically transported back to medieval England. There she meets a handsome knight and they fall in love. The book is really engaging as it combines time - travel, historical details, and a sweet love story.

In my opinion, 'The Mists of Avalon' by Marion Zimmer Bradley is an excellent medieval historical novel. It presents a different perspective on the Arthurian legend, focusing on the female characters and the pagan and Christian beliefs of the time. It's a very rich and complex story that delves deep into the culture and mythology of the medieval period.

Definitely. 'Sir Gawain and the Green Knight' is a wonderful medieval novel. 'The Nibelungenlied' is also a great pick. And 'Parzival' is an interesting read for those interested in medieval quests and the Holy Grail.

One of the best is 'The Name of the Rose' by Umberto Eco. It's set in an Italian monastery in the 14th century and combines mystery, theology, and historical detail. The complex plot and well - developed characters make it a classic. Another great one is 'Ivanhoe' by Sir Walter Scott. It gives a vivid picture of medieval England, with knights, tournaments, and the struggle between Saxons and Normans.

Medieval erotic novels are not a common or widely recommended genre as they often contain inappropriate content. However, if we consider novels set in the medieval period with elements of love and passion that are not overly erotic, 'The Canterbury Tales' by Geoffrey Chaucer has some stories with amorous themes. It gives insights into the social and romantic aspects of medieval life.

A great novel is 'The Conqueror' by Georgette Heyer. It portrays the Norman Conquest of England in 1066. Heyer is good at creating a believable historical backdrop and characters that are engaging. The war and political aspects are well - integrated into the story.

I'd recommend 'Conan the Barbarian' graphic novels. Conan's adventures in a semi - medieval world full of magic, monsters, and sword - fighting are really exciting. 'Elric of Melniboné' is another. It has a dark and complex world inspired by medieval and fantasy elements. Also, 'Redwall' is a great choice. It's about the adventures of the woodland creatures in a world that has a medieval - like feel with castles, battles, and a code of chivalry.

A good one is 'The Canterbury Tales' by Geoffrey Chaucer. Although it's more of a collection of stories, it offers a great insight into medieval English society. 'The Once and Future King' by T.H. White is another excellent choice. It reimagines the Arthurian legend in a medieval - ish setting. Then there's 'Gates of Fire' by Steven Pressfield which is set during the Battle of Thermopylae in ancient Greece, but has a lot of elements that are similar to medieval concepts of honor, loyalty, and warfare.

Another great one is 'Ivanhoe' by Sir Walter Scott. Set in 12th - century England, it tells the story of a Saxon knight. It shows the complex relationships between the Normans and the Saxons at that time, along with elements of chivalry, tournaments, and forbidden love.
