Conversely Josepha Sherman's done very good fantasies based upon real-world history: two-book Prince of the Sidhe series from Baen (out-of-print and not on Webscriptions yet) w/an exiled elven prince getting caught up in 9-10th century actual Irish/English/Viking events, with notes and further reading in the back.I'd like to add some of the books on this list to the respective "Best Books of the. Paxson does very good historicals based on fantasy/folklore tales: King Lear in Ancient Britain, Ring of the Nibelung w/the Huns, Tristan and Yseult as though they actually existed in that time period and weren't more or less made up from earlier Celtic legends when the Arthurian romances got written up during the 12-13th centuries. While not really what the OP is after, the stories with Elvis as president of the US/space Pope and the Kennedy brothers as a musical group are a real hoot to read.Īlso, Diana L.

You can read some of her short stories and even a big chunk of one of her novels free online at her BookViewCafé page. Tarr, especially, does excellent low-key almost straight-up historicals with subtly incorporated fantasy, as well as more standard historical fantasies. I should also mention Harry Turtledove, Judith Tarr, and Susan Schwartz, who do great alternate timeline and real-world w/added fantasy elements historical novels. I'm a sucker for thinly-veiled analogies/behind-the-scenes secret/parallel timeline tales. Wow, AT, that was a knowledgeable dissertation on history based SF! Ash: A Secret History is a pretty nifty what-if on the disappearance of the Burgundian duchies that dominated western European politics in the 1400-1500s or so. However, you did mention you liked Jean Auel, so maybe you might like to give Gentle a shot. Mary Gentle also does very good work incorporating fantasy into history, but her writing style is a bit dense and complex and some people find it hard to get into. It's very good, and I recommend it often. It's a sort of an increasingly loose fantasy riff on the Spanish Reconquista (and later, Germanic/Celtic tribes as conquered by analogue Romans, I think) and the first book, The Curse of Chalion, won a Mythopoeic Prize. However, I'd rate Lois McMaster Bujold's Chalion series above Kay. This won either a Hugo or a Nebula Award possibly both.Īnd for thinly veiled history-based fantasies, you can't beat Guy Gavriel Kay, who's made almost his entire living off of doing analogues of real-life regions/events, now with added magic! His writing does have certain stylistic tics that can become grating if you don't love them. A time-traveling Oxford historian researches the Middle Ages directly.
Not exactly a genre-crosser, but an SF novel which very strongly incorporates medieval history and is quite excellent and highly recommended: Connie Willis' Doomsday Book. There's also Lackey, Flint, and Dave Freer's series Heirs of Alexandria, which presumably does the same for an alt-history Renaissance Venice. This one really infodumps the actual RL events in between the more fantastical stuff.
More freebie fantasy histories Baen include Mercedes Lackey & Roberta Gellis' This Sceptre'd Isle: elves interfere in Tudor court workings in order to bring about the Elizabeth Age.
Don't know if it'd interest you, but it's very popular and free to read. While less ambiguous in regards to its SFnal aspects, it apparently incorporates a great deal of RL history because the characters within it (transported back from our time) are changing it. Also on the Baen Free Library, Eric Flint's 1632 series.
