I don't know if you've heard of Dorothy Dunnett before but I hadn't until I stumbled across her in a second-hand bookstore. She wrote one glorious epic about the real Macbeth (and did some breakthrough research about the guy in the process) and two STUPENDOUS historical series, the Niccolo and Lymond chronicles - the latter follows the exploits of a 16th century Scottish nobleman who enters a room like this: "Lucent and delicate, Drama entered, mincing like a cat."
