If you have finished Ellis Peter's Brother Cadfael series and are looking for something comparable in quality in roughly the same time period, then read about Owen Archer, a creation of Candace Robb. Also a former soldier, and now an apprentice herbalist (sound familiar?), Captain Archer works part time as a spy and investigator for the Archbishop of Canterbury. Unlike Brother Cadfeal, Owen is married and has a daughter.

All are good, but, IMHO, book four in this series was the best yet.
