The Striped Ships by Eloise McGraw and The King's Shadow by Elizabeth Alder are both set during the Norman conquest of England. I read both books this past year and found them fascinating. Full of details from the time period and captivating characters. Since Catherine, Called Birdy and The Midwife's Apprentice, I have had more requests from kids for books set in medieval times. These are a bit earlier but they have been well received as follow up suggestions to requests for "more books like this one!"
