If you want to read historical fiction and at the same time learn about Yorkshire and the implications of Robert Aske's rebellion read CJ Sansom's 'Sovereign'. It is a whodunit based around the time of Henry viii's visit to York. Sansom did his research at the Borthwick prior to writing the book.

How about 'Sarum' the novel of England by Edward Rutherfurd. It goes back about 10,000 years.
