Sir William:
I just finished the Warlord Chronicles by Cornwell (second read through, finished Saxon Tales by Cornwell just before it, Game of Thrones series before that) - probably my favorite take on Arthurian legend to date.  In these books, the heroes are all written and behave like real people would- also liked how he wove the legend of the Holy Grail into it (but it is not called that) and uses old English place names with what I assumed were the correct spelling.  A few places he 'made up' but by and large, the 5th century map was used.

I'm reading 'Freedom Sword: A Historical Novel of Scotland' by J.R. Tomlin...not sure how I ended up with it, but so far, so good.  Set in 1296, all I've gotten so far, since I just cracked it on the Kindle for the first time last night, is the Morays scouting Longshanks' army as they make their way into Scotland...Balliol is the king at the moment.

RackThor:
David and Leigh Eddings are by far my favorite fantasy authors of all time. Those are fantastic books if your really want to focus on the knights and valor, however just for fun's sake dont forget about their Balagirad series as well. Their very well developed books with great characters.



--- Quote from: Fearghus Macildubh on 2012-02-15, 18:46:47 ---For fantasy series where knights and knighthood play a central role, I was always partial to David Eddings's The Elenium and The Tamuli.  Sir Sparhawk and his fellow knights always struck me as how real paladins would behave.

They've been released with each trilogy in a single volume.

The Elenium: http://www.amazon.com/Elenium-Diamond-Throne-Knight-Sapphire/dp/0345500938/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1329331454&sr=8-1

The Tamuli: http://www.amazon.com/Tamuli-Domes-Fire-Shining-Hidden/dp/0345500946/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1329331514&sr=1-1

Hrolfr:
Warrior of God by Victor Verney.

It is about Jan Zizka and the Hussite Revolution.  The leaps made in strategy are imppresive.
