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.

European authors of historical fiction novels usually pay great attention to period - specific language and dialogue. In 'The Three Musketeers' by Alexandre Dumas, the language used gives a sense of 17th - century France. They also like to show the evolution of society over time. For instance, in Josephine Tey's 'The Daughter of Time', we can see how historical views and interpretations change. And another characteristic is the exploration of moral and ethical issues within the historical context, as seen in many of these authors' works.

European medieval historical novels referred to literary works created in medieval Europe, usually depicting the social, political, cultural, religious, and other aspects of the period. The European Middle Ages was a very controversial and complicated historical period, so the creation of historical novels was often full of all kinds of fiction and imagination. One of the most famous historical novels in medieval Europe was Dream of the Red Chamber, which was a classic in the history of Chinese literature during the Qing Dynasty. Other famous works include Carmen, La Traviata, Jane Eyre, Pride and Predict, etc. These works not only made great achievements in literature, but also had a far-reaching impact on the literary creation of later generations.

One characteristic is the detailed historical setting. For example, in books like 'Wolf Hall', the author meticulously recreates the Tudor court in England, from the clothing to the political power struggles. Another is complex characters. They are often shaped by the historical events around them. Also, there's often a sense of authenticity in the language used, which might include archaic words or phrases appropriate to the time period.
