I am looking for recommendations for some good historical fiction books. I am mostly interested in books about mediaeval times or even earlier, as I find it fascinating to understand the struggles of the people back then, but I am also open to any suggestions if worthy.

A few years back, during Covid lockdowns, I stumbled upon Alessandro Manzoni's The Betrothed and liked it a lot. It was fascinating to read how people reacted to the plague back then.
