Sharon Kay Penman is an excellent historical novelist and mystery writer , focussing on the history of England and Wales during the late Medevial period. I highly recommend her first novel, the Sunne in Splendour her first novel, dealing with the Wars of the Roses. In her retelling, Richard the III comes off as somewhat the Hero! Also recommend her Welsh Princes series, which recounts the story of the last dynasty of the independent kingdom of Wales.
