Anne Lister BS: Mediaeval Fiction: any rec's?? (48) RE: BS: Mediaeval Fiction: any rec's?? 07 Apr 14


As has already been suggested, Dorothy Dunnett's Lymond series is not to be missed ... she also has a brilliant novel about the real MacBeth, "King Hereafter". I'm not as fond as the House of Niccolo series, but some prefer it.
Edith Pargeter and Ellis Peters.
For a different take, try Guy Gavriel Kay's fantasy version of Byzantium and Spain (although for the moment the titles slip my mind).

These, as with most of the titles already recommended, are fiction about medieval times rather than medieval fiction. If you're looking for medieval fiction, there's Chretien de Troyes, Marie de France and numerous anonymous writers.
