I think all of these authors have been translated into Swedish, but how much of their work I'm having trouble finding out.

Bernard Cornwell writes historical English fiction. His Richard Sharpe series, Saxon Chronicles, and Grail Quest series are generally considered to be the best. His main characters are fictional but usually based on real people. His books are full of minor characters that are real historical figures and his descriptions of military battles are nearly always exact and true to history. Most of his main characters have a conspiracy against them at some point. Richard Sharpe and Thomas (from Grail Quest) have a conspiracy against them in most of their books, IIRC.

Tom Clancy - Writes (wrote?) Cold War thrillers and sometimes references real events from the era, but they're heavier on conspiracy and thrills than history. I know at least some of his books have been translated into Swedish because my grandfather read them (he forgot English in his last years).

James Clavell's Shōgun is one he might have already read because it's always been popular with readers who like the things you mentioned your dad liking. Set in Japan in 1600, it's based on William Adams, the first Brit to travel to Japan. I just can't find out if this was translated into Swedish or not. Also, on a personal note, I love historical fiction and this book bored me to death. It's massive and so full of detail that I lost sight of the story in many places. I watched the miniseries instead and loved it because they could just show the surroundings and focus on telling the story.
