I enjoyed Pillars of the Earth, a book by Ken Follett set in the 12th century. It is about the building of a cathedral in the fictional town of Kingsbridge, England.
I also recommend Sharon Kay Penman's Welsh Princes trilogy set in medieval England, Wales and France. It features the Plantagenet kings. The books are Here be Dragons, Falls the Shadow, and The Reckoning. The King's Man, also by Penman, is a medieval mystery.
The Name of the Rose by Umberto Eco is also very good.
Historical fiction is my favorite genre. You will find much to enjoy.
