Great list. Couple other suggestions: "The Dagger and the Coin" series by Daniel Abraham (co-author of the Expanse series), and for Cornwell fans, "Hild" by Nicola Griffith (fabulous evocation of 7th century Britain)
I loved Pillars of the Earth and Winter King. However, Cornwell's Saxon series is my fave.
Dan Jones' history books are easier to read than most 'histories' as most are so dry. He's recently branched out to fiction--the first in his series is entitled Essex Dogs. The jury is out on his fiction.

Pillars of the Earth is incredible, and Follett has been one of my favorite authors since I first read this book. So glad to see it on this list 🙌
