I began "La Guerre de Cent Ans" 
by Georges Minois and "Fire & Blood" by 
. So one cool real history book about two dynasties fighting (Plantagenet and Capetian cadet branches) with explanations of the economic and demographic context of 14th century England and France, and the other being fake history of House Targaryen up to the Dance of the Dragons and the reign of Aegon III.
Funny how the 100 years war is also centered around whether a king can inherit through a foid's line (England) or through male-only line (Salic Law).

I'm starting a Ken Follett binge. I really enjoyed Pillars of the Earth so now I'm reading all five.
That other trilogy he wrote was also pretty good.
