Please suggest upon me some books, or series. As I absolutely love that time period, and want to get lost in it. Looking for similar books to The Greatest Knight, The Ill Made Knight, Between Two Fires, The name of The Wind, A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms. Please no King Arthur retellings. Thank you.

If you like murder mysteries, I’d look at the Brother Cadfael novels by Ellis Peters.
Hellmouth if you like the horror aspects of Between Two Fires.
Pillars of the Earth by Follett
The Sunne in Splendour by Penman
Stephen and Matilda by Bradbury
The Prince of Darkness (actually, the entire Plantagenet series) by Jean Plaidy
The Prince of Nothing by R Scott Bakker. The series follows the march of a Holy War and has some of the best prose in the genre, along with some of the most horrific acts of violence.
There’s also a sequel series, The Aspect-Emperor, that is sort of like if Lord of the Rings, Blood Meridian, the Iliad, and the Bible had an orgy.
The Lady and the Unicorn by Tracy Chevalier (set in 1490)
