Re: Historical Fiction That Doesn't Emphasize Romance (or Blood and Gore)

The Hornblower series by C.S. Forester is lots of fun and emphasizes neither gore nor romance (though it has both)! I love it. The plots are clever, the protagonist is amazingly well-developed, and you can acquire a whole lot of highly useless knowledge on 19th century naval ships XD

Anything by Arthur Conan Doyle, really. "White Company" and "Sir Nigel" in particular. That's just your classic honest-to-God historical fiction written by someone who was madly in love with the things he wrote about.

"Kidnapped" by Robert Stevenson. It's a book about adventures, the beauty of the Scottish Highlands, and strong friendship. One of a few books written at the time that treated the Jacobite rebellion sympathetically. And really, it just talks about how one's political views do not define one's vices and virtues.
