The Name of the Rose by Umberto Ecco is a wonderful detective novel taking place in a monastery that is also densely packed with anecdotes from medieval history. I'd also recommend Ecco's novel Foucault's Pendulum, which is full of history, but also contains some conspiracy for entertainment purposes. Either way, you can't go wrong.
