Renaissance/Enlightenment. Medieval/Ancient seems to get tons of love.

How many books are even written by fictional authors any way? Doesn't seem like a big problem.

30 years war.

Their brains and thought processes are completely alien to faggot moderns.

It's easier to say which historical periods do get love, historical fiction is a ridiculously niche genre.
I'd say the napoleonic and second world wars have the majority of published works.
Ancient Rome, the middle ages, the caribbean age of piracy are common settings, but they're almost invariably so ahistorical it's hard to consider work featuring them as historical fiction.
Also Sengoku and Meiji periods have a humonguous amount of published works, by japanese author only tho and mostly not translated.

I'd love to see 16th century Europe used as a setting. Also early Rome.

Bronze age

Mesopotamia
