Here's a list of all the historical fantasies and alternate histories I've reviewed (although some of these "reviews" were written ages ago, and were not as detailed/thoughtful etc. as those I write nowadays). I'm not including the time travel books, because they have their own page.
I found, as I pulled this list together, that "historical fantasy" is blurrier than I had thought. I've tried to keep this list confined to "historical fiction set in our world with magical elements," but other things--alternate histories, fantasies that seem like they are set in the past of our world, but not definitivly--crept on. However, I did exclude a number of "medivalish" fantasies that don't specifically take place in real history, which was painful, but necessary. I had to use the 19th century as a reasonable default for some books that don't clearly say when they are, which I couldn't help. Please let me know if you see problems or mistakes, and please feel free to send me recommendations for more!
I've put loose age recommendations in -- mg = middle grade, ages 9-12, ya = young adult, ages 12 and up, and adult is what it is.
