A subgenre of Historical Fiction, Historical Fantasy is similar to Urban Fantasy, except the setting will be a time and place in the past rather than modern times. Historical fantasy novels will be set in an actually historic and geographic location on our own Earth. Although fantastic elements exist in the novel, these are implied not to have made it into the history books because of The Masquerade or else were dismissed as myth and superstition by more modern historians. Books of this type are typically Low Fantasy, since disguising the epic scope of High Fantasy to muggles in a real world setting would be very implausible. Alternately, the world may be obviously meant to be a real, historical place, but names may have been slightly changed and fantastic elements added. This is a subjective area, so please only add examples where a very clear parallel can be drawn between the real and fantasy world. There can be some overlap with Alternate History (particularly Alien Space Bats) if the fantastic elements are shown to have actually changed history as we know it. Expect the throwing in of fantastic elements to lead to a Historical Hero or Villain Upgrade. May overlap with Weird Historical War in stories set during historical conflicts. Essentially the inverse of Demythification, which is a genre that takes the supernatural elements out of an existing myth or legend. Gaslamp Fantasy and Medieval European Fantasy are subtropes. |

She Who Became The Sun: While the plot may focus on a real ruler from Chinese history, it completely alters the events of the Hongwu Emperor's life by making the Mandate of Heaven a genuine cosmic force, as well as implying that multiple rulers have supernatural powers. While the fantasy is very much of the low variety, it's clear that there are fantastical things subtly at work, whether real or perceived. | |

Megan Whalen Turner's The Queen's Thief series is an interesting case. It's set somewhere on the Mediterranean in a culture that's heavily Byzantine, but the countries mentioned are entirely fictional. Turner goes to great pains to make the story feel like real historical fiction. The fantasy comes from the highly active pantheon of gods directing events. | |

The Warlord Chronicles by Bernard Cornwell, which casts Arthur as a Celtic pagan king during the Anglo-Saxon settlement and Christianization of Britain, takes the Maybe Magic, Maybe Mundane route for the first two books, but the waters get muddy in the third book due to some Contrived Coincidences. It also has an Unreliable Narrator. | |

Wolfwalkers takes place in Ireland in the year 1650, during Oliver Cromwell's rule over the United Kingdom (though in this film, he's only known as "the Lord Protector", which is the title he went under instead of "King").

Kushiel's Legacy by Jacqueline Carey stretches the definition towards Constructed World, but is essentially a late Middle-Ages/early Renaissance Europe where The Four Gospels were literally true, but took a very different turn: His blood shed on the earth at the crucifixion spawned a second messianic figure, Elua, who called a group of angels to leave heaven and follow him; they interbred with humans in the setting's France-equivalent Terre d'Ange. There's workings of high magic and Physical Gods, but little small-scale magic. Skaldia (Germany) and Alba (Britain) are still tribal at the start of the series, while Italy is in its Renaissance-era city-states stage. | |

Samurai Champloo takes place during the Bakumatsu era of Japan, and it has some minor fantastical elements, like the existence of ki. Zombies, however, are most likely mushroom-induced hallucinations. | |

Fate Series: The series in general takes a considerable amount of references from historical figures being summoned and given superpowers to fight in a Holy Grail War, taking Heroic Spirits to act as Magi's familiar to win the Holy Grail and it's omnipotent wishing powers. Historical figures from William Shakespeare to Nero Claudius (who's a girl here) to Sir Francis Drake (who's also a girl here), to even mythological figures who were historical individuals in-universe like Cu Chulainn, Gilgamesh or King Arthur (who's also a girl here). It should be noted however (as if the Gender-Bent Alternate Universe examples didn't clue you in) that Fate takes a truly absurd amount of creative liberties in both history and mythology, with some of the more egregious inaccuracies being stuff like Gilgamesh being a blonde, faired-skinned knight in golden armor. The series has attempted to explain away these massive inaccuracies to text as Servants being distortions of popular perception which in turn warps actual history to be a reflection of this (which is actually the case for Servants whom their real-world counterparts weren't evil, but they were seen as evil, netting them the Innocent Monster trait), but the Doylist answer was that King Arthur (also known as Artoria/Altria) had to be a waifu to fit the eroge nature of the original visual novel. Fate/Grand Order in particular is a time travel story involving the Chaldea Security Organization helping fix points in the timeline that were irrevocably altered, as to which their adventures has taken them across a truly variant number of points in time, up to and including Alternate History sub-universes known as Lostbelts. Fate/Samurai Remnant is in particular a Hack and Slash Action RPG set during the Edo period and shortly after the Shimabara Rebellion, in a universe diverged from The Constants of proper human history enough that it's set to be pruned. In it, seven Masters and Servants alongside eight Masterless Stray Servants are summoned to fight for the Waxing Moon, an omnipotent wish-granting device much like the Holy Grail in Fate/stay night. |

The general gist of Unbiased History is that it tells a very propagandized version of history - as in, looking like a moving propaganda poster. This often includes adding fantastic element, such as making the Romans a race of demigods, making Cleopatra both a witch and a reincarnation of Dido, making Attila a Sorcerous Overlord, making the Germanic tribes an Always Chaotic Evil horde, and generally adding some magic to the setting. | |

Castlevania (2017) is a Historical Dark Fantasy show set in the 15th century, in which southeastern Europe (and apparently other regions of the Old World as well) were infested with and terrorized by evil sorcerers, vampire warlords, and their armies of undead demonic monsters, with some of those vampire warlords having conquered and ruled their own personal fiefdoms with enslaved human subjects. Also, the famous fictional vampire Dracula seems to exist in this world in place of the real Vlad Dracula Tepes. Castlevania: Nocturne is set to follow Trevor Belmont’s descendent Ricter Belmont as he continues the family legacy of vampire hunting in the French Revolution. |

Ben Kane's The Forgotten Legion trilogy, set during the last decades of the Roman Republic. One of the main characters is the Etruscan seer Tarquinius, one of the few such genuine ones in the books. His divination skills help his friends, fugitive gladiators Romulus and Brennus, survive various escapades — from Crassus' defeat in Parthia to serving as mercenaries further East (hence the title), to serving with Caesar in Egypt, leading all the way to the Ides of March. Romulus' twin sister Fabiola, sold to a brothel instead of a ludus, also occasionally has accurate visions regarding her brother. | |

Subverted with the "Trials of the Gods" segment in Assassin's Creed Origins. Although it appears that Bayek is fighting the Egyptian gods Anubis, Sobek, and Sekhmet, this is caused by an emotional sensor overload in Layla Hassan's Animus. Zigzagged with the Curse of the Pharaohs DLC which seemingly incorporates explicitly magical elements in the Assassin's Creed franchise with Bayek fighting the ghosts of Nefertiti, Tutankhamun, Akhenaten, and Ramses II, but at least some are explicitly illusions created by Akhenaten's Apple of Eden. The Duat areas, on the other hand, are far more ambiguous. | |

The VVitch follows a family of New England Puritans in the 17th century who live in fear of witches in the woods... and the witches are completely real, with their portrayal lifted from writings of the time, instead of portraying the protagonists as Medieval Morons and coming up with some explanation based on ergot or mass hysteria like other works would. | |

Shades of Milk and Honey: Mary Robinette Kowal's sweet evocation of Jane Austen and her own art of puppetry (recast as the magic of illusions). Quietly focused on characterization and a slow-burn romance, but with the magical talents an integral, trivial yet all-pervasive force, building to a quite exciting climax. It's Regency England with Magic!. | |

The Bastard of Kosigan, a mod for Neverwinter Nights, revolves around a fictionalized version of 14th-century France combined with the Standard Fantasy Setting inherent in the D&D rules, leading to things like the King of France having a red dragon or two as personal pets. Most of the wider setting isn't detailed, but the Duke of Burgundy seems to have incorporated magic into his court pretty effectively. | |

Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice takes place in late Sengoku period Japan (around the end of the 1500s or so), where a very fictionalized Ashina clan, on the verge of being nearly destroyed by the forces of the Interior Ministry (all but outright stated to be the armies of the Tokugawa), has turned to "heretical arts" in a bid to make their forces immortal. Additionally, the more isolated corners of Ashina territory are filled with giant snakes, gun-wielding monkeys, bug-infested Buddhist monks, undead spirits, etc. Even the relatively more grounded forces of the Ashina themselves include ogre-men and the like among their ranks. And that's without mentioning that the main character is an immortal shinobi with a very advanced prosthetic limb. That said, it's implied that Ashina is a rather strange land compared to the rest of Japan. | |

The Earth's Children series, which doesn't quite fit into any one genre, sometimes has fantastical elements, although technically it would be prehistorical fantasy in this case, the series being set in Europe during the last Ice Age. It's downplayed on account of a heavy dose of Maybe Magic, Maybe Mundane; it's never made clear if the characters in the setting really do have psychic powers or extrasensory abilities, or if it's all just coincidence, people mistaking phenomena or abilities they don't understand for magic, or the result of really good drugs (or heck, maybe a mix of both). Likewise, it's never confirmed if the spirits and deities people believe in are real or not, though as with the supposed powers people have, certain occurrences do lead the reader to wonder... | |

Irish Folklore Trilogy: The Secret of Kells takes place at some point during the 9th century, when Ireland was frequently raided by Vikings, and it focuses on the making of the Book of Kells, a real illuminated manuscript. It's also a highly fictionalized account of the making of said book, including fantasy elements like fairies and an ancient Irish god. Song of the Sea is set against a much more recent historical backdrop - the great storm of 1987 - but still qualifies, featuring selkies, fairies, an owl-witch, and a petrified giant, in Ireland a generation before its 2014 release. Wolfwalkers takes place in Ireland in the year 1650, during Oliver Cromwell's rule over the United Kingdom (though in this film, he's only known as "the Lord Protector", which is the title he went under instead of "King"). The fantasy elements all revolve around the titular Wolfwalkers, werewolf-like beings whose spirits leave their bodies and become wolves whenever they sleep. |

Anastasia imagines that the famous Romanov heiress was really the target of a magical plot, and Rasputin was really an evil sorcerer (something which many people believed at the time). Fox took care to market the film as a 'historical fairy tale' in Russia not to be taken as fact. It worked and they loved it. | |

Any of the Gurps historical volumes can be fantasized to discretion and many contain information on the mythology of the time period as a guide to doing this. One common trick is to assume the PCs think they are in a fantasy world, the way average people in the time period might, and not tell the players running the characters whether or not the GM is running a fantasy world until after the game is over. | |

Assassin's Creed: Subverted with the "Trials of the Gods" segment in Assassin's Creed Origins. Although it appears that Bayek is fighting the Egyptian gods Anubis, Sobek, and Sekhmet, this is caused by an emotional sensor overload in Layla Hassan's Animus. Zigzagged with the Curse of the Pharaohs DLC which seemingly incorporates explicitly magical elements in the Assassin's Creed franchise with Bayek fighting the ghosts of Nefertiti, Tutankhamun, Akhenaten, and Ramses II, but at least some are explicitly illusions created by Akhenaten's Apple of Eden. The Duat areas, on the other hand, are far more ambiguous. Assassin's Creed: Valhalla contains multiple nods to Norse Mythology (right down to its title) as well as elements of the mythical Arthurian Legend such as the appearance of the legendary Excalibur. The game goes even further to have entire segments set in Asgard, not to mention that Eivor, Sigurd, and Basim are the human reincarnations of Odin, Tyr, and Loki respectively. |

The setting of The Spirit Ring by Lois McMaster Bujold is the fictional city-state of Montefoglia in Renaissance Italy (which co-exists alongside such real-world places as Rome, Milan, and Florence) and where the main difference is the presence of magic, whose use is policed by the Catholic Church. Magic is mostly restricted to enchanted items, allowing certain conveniences but keeping it from being a war-winning superweapon. | |

Crusader Kings II is set in medieval Europe from 769 to 1412. It had some fantasy elements from the beginning but until The Reaper's Due DLC tended to take the Maybe Magic, Maybe Mundane route (in the sense that what the characters believed to be supernatural events may have had perfectly mundane explanations, such as peasants telling tall tales about giants and dragons). The Reaper's Due has a couple of event chains that let characters become immortal, and Monks and Mystics added secret societies that can accomplish blatantly magical feats. The game also has an optional Alternate History DLC, Sunset Invasion, where Western Europe is invaded by the Aztec Empire (the Aztecs didn't exist until nearly the end of the playable time period, and no Native American/Indigenous culture ever built ships that could survive a transatlantic voyage). | |
