I'm reading Conn Iggulden's War of the Roses series. I'm super into it, and love that I'm learning while enjoying fiction. (I'm watching a documentary series while reading the books to check how it differs, which is fun in itself.)
Anyone know any historical fiction series that are semi factual? Or is that just the entire premise of this genre? I'm new!

If you are interested in English history, Sharon Kay Penman has a bunch of books. When Christ and His Saints Slept is about Stephen and Maude fighting over the throne in the 11th century. The Sunne in Splendour is about Richard III. She does her research.
