It might be a little cheeky to suggest the following book as medieval fantasy as it was 
actually written in the twelfth century:

'Roman de Furgus' by Guillaume le Clerc

It's a romance written probably in honour of the wedding of Roland of Galloway and 
Elena de Morville (1170). The ficticious tale of knightly derring-do paints a picture of 
Scottish mediaeval life set around Liddel Castle in Roxburghshire. At the time, Liddel 
Castle was actually held by Ranulf du Soules whose nephew (his successor) was 
murdered at the castle in 1207 by his servants, 'because of his great wickedness'. 

Amongst others, Roxburgh Castle also gets a mention. In the story, Fergus here 
overpowers a wicked giant and is treated to a bath by the giant's maidens in the 
castle's splendid hall bedecked 'with more than 1000 shields, hauberks, helmets, and 
all the gear for arming a knight'.

In case you were concerned about tackling such ancient language, the book has 
been translated:

'Fergus of Galloway: Knight of King Arthur' by DDR Owen, Everyman's Library 1991.

NOTE: I assume that Ranulf is probably the nephew written about in the above book, 
although my source has him dead in 1208.
