I'm rather sure, you mean the Middle Ages.
A look at the sites of ORB could give some references
What Every Medievalist Should Know
A good German site (including English links):
History Medieval Era

At least here in Europe, this is very different, since the Middle Ages are very popular here = there a lot of popular (= not wrong, but ... ehem .. popular) litterature about that, societies, specialized in the Middieval Ages, lots of local fetes in "Medieval Style" (today, two within 20 miles from us) ...
Might be that this is what you call "local fiction" :wink:
