- BBC’s Hollow Crowns adaptations of Shakespeare’s history plays.
- Starz’ Pillars of the Earth.
- BBC’s The Last Kingdom and Tom Fontana’s Borgia Faith and Fear come respectively before and after the Middle Ages, but they’re both good.
- Tudors is campy as hell, but quite watchable.
- BBC/Masterpiece’s Cadfael is excellent.
- If you can stand the subtitles, there’s some good French adaptation of Maurice Druon’s Rois Maudits.
