check out Bernard Cornwell, The Last Kingdom series.

They are historical fiction, starting with Alfred the Great, and told from the point of view of a pagan who ended up in his service. Cornell is related to the man, hence his interest in that period of history.

One critic referred to them as, "The Game of Thrones, but real."
