I recommend the following two historical novels: 1. "William the Conqueror": It tells the story of William the Conqueror, the Duke of Normond, who conquered England and other European countries in the 11th century. The book described the political, geographical, and cultural history of medieval Europe. 2. "My Great British Empire": The protagonist traveled through the 16th century, the Tudor dynasty of England, Edward VI. He concentrated his power, rebuilt the parliament, and established the United Kingdom of Britain. He brought you to experience the most powerful dynasty in the United Kingdom, the dawn of the Empire. The book used detailed historical information to restore the true history of British society, culture, politics, and military in the 16th century. I hope you like my recommendation. Muah ~
