Dear Patricia,
In addition to the ones already mentioned, and I'd agree Spanish Bride and An Infamous Army are 'dramatised history' rather than historical fiction, two others which fall into this category are
1 Royal Escape (English Civil War - 17th century)
2 My Lord John (later medieval England/France)
One of my favourite novels which gives a fair bit of information on costume, morals etc. is These Old Shades. It's a really good novel
and I think it gives a good idea of 18th century France, more than most of the Regency-set novels do 19th century England. (But they're still a good read)
