Line 7:
There can be some overlap with [[Alternate History]] if the fantastic elements are shown to have actually changed history as we know it. See also [[Historical Fiction]] for non-fantasy works. [[Gaslamp Fantasy]] and [[Medieval European Fantasy]] are subtropes.

Line 61:
** Joan Wolf's ''The Road to Avalon'' has no magical elements except for Arthur and Morgan le Fay (portrayed as Arthur's true love) sharing a telepathic link. Merlin is a Roman-trained engineer.
** Courtway Jones' ''In the Shadow of the Oak King'' similarly strips out the magic except for making Arthur and his half-brother Pelleas telepaths. Pelleas also [[Bond Creatures|bonds with]] a pack of wolves. Merlin is a blacksmith and general wise man.
** ''[[The Warlord Chronicles]]'' trilogy by Bernard Cornwell takes the [[Maybe Magic, Maybe Mundane]] route for the first two books, but the waters get muddy in the third book due to some [[Contrived Coincidence|Contrived Coincidences]]. It also has an [[Unreliable Narrator]].
** [[David Gemmell]]'s ''Ghost King'' and ''The Last Stone of Power'', much more akin to "fantasy" than "historical" fiction though they're set in post-Roman Britain.
** ''[[Gwenhwyfar|Gwenhwyfar: The White Spirit]]'' by [[Mercedes Lackey]].
