* ''[[The Cats of Seroster]]'' by [[Robert Westall]] is set in a fairly realistic version of 16th Century France, with the tactics, weaponry and technology of the era preserved intact. It's just that there also happen to be [[Telepathy|telepathic]] cats and mystical knives that grant immortality to the wielder.
* ''The Cardinal's Blades'' series by Pierre Pevel is [[Alexandre Dumas]] with dragons and dragon-kin, and also a [[Perspective Flip]] since the heroes are agents of Richelieu.
* [[Poul Anderson|Poul Anderson's]] viking stories are in many ways like this, with the folklore of the time brought to the forefront and the acceptance of [[Deliberate Values Dissonance]]. For instance Hrolf Krakki's Saga is so [[Dark Fantasy|dark)]] that Anderson takes the time to apologize to the reader for the shocking brutality and the bigotry toward Finns
*LLoyd Alexander's [[The Golden Dream of Carlo Chuchio]] hovers around this. Geography and history are identified loosely but the reader can recognize it as the Medieval Silk Road.
