These are all good. The Pillars of the Earth series in general is good. The sequel world without end is also good. The third I didn't enjoy as much, but the fourth was a prequel starting with a viking raid about 800-900, which I really enjoyed. They fifth was fine but gets out of medieval to around 1700.

Some others:

Bernard Cromwell Saxon Series is good. There are several books there, and I haven't read them all.

Hamnet by O'Farrel - fictional account of Shakespeare's son.

The Physician by Noah Gordan - Young man travels to Persia to become a physician.

The Once and Future King TS White - King Arthur

Ivanhoe Walter Scott

Year of Wonders Geraldine Brooks - a plaque novel of the 1600s.

I had to check my goodreads list. Also my favorite genre, not just medieval though.
