Best series I have ever read, The Warlord Chronicles by Bernard Cornwell.
• The Winter King
• Enemy of God
• Excalibur
Or the Emperor series by Conn Iggulden are rather good
• The Gates of Rome
• The Death of Kings
• The Field of Swords
• The Gods of War
If you like fantasy Eragon and Eldest by Christopher Paolini. Are excellent
