Julian Rathbone's The Last English King (about the run-up to 1066, all the power struggles between King Edward and the Godwins and then William the Bastard taking advantage) and Kings of Albion (the Wars of the Roses as seen by a visiting merchant from Vijanayagara) are both excellent.
I also love Stephenson's Baroque Cycle. CJ Sansom has good historical murder mysteries set in Tudor times, and Ellis Peters' Cadfael mysteries are set in 1100s England during the Anarchy with Stephen and Matilda fighting for the throne. They get a bit repetitive after you read 20 of them, but still excellent.
Patrick O'Brien and CS Forrester for naval life.
