There's 'The Winter King' by Bernard Cornwell. It's about King Arthur, but in a more historically - based way than the traditional Arthurian legends. It gives a great sense of the Dark Ages in Britain, which is an important part of European history. And 'The Pillars of the Earth' by Ken Follett is also underrated in a way. It's a huge epic set in 12th - century England, showing the building of a cathedral and all the political and social struggles around it.

Another is 'The Name of the Rose' by Umberto Eco, which takes place in an Italian monastery in the 14th century. 'Gone with the Wind' by Margaret Mitchell, though set in America, also has elements related to European historical events as it was influenced by the Old South which had strong European roots.
