I read this whole series this summer - unfortunately i read them in published order instead of chronologically but I still was able to make the connections between the characters and politics of the time.
The books in chronological order are:
By Possession (year 1326 - Addis is main character)
By Design (year 1328 - Rys is main character)
Stealing Heaven (year 1341 - Marcus is main character)
By Arrangement (year 1346 - David is main character)
The Protector (year 1348-49 - Morvan is main character and covers plague a bit)
Lord of a Thousand Nights (year 1350 - Ian is main character)
This series was very interesting from a political/historical point of view, I learned a lot about this time period. Unfortunately during this time period woman had very few rights and it made the relationships hard to relate to. I still enjoyed them quite a bit however and I loved how they all intertwined.
Spoiler Alert!!!!
***************************8
Addis marries his serf Moira but before they marry she befriends Rys. Rys then marries a noble woman Joan who's young brother Marcus is friends with David. Addis takes Marcus under his wing to teach him how to be the lord he was born to be. Marcus then falls for Nesta who has no other ties in the series.
David is favored by the king with a noble wife Christiana who's brother Morvan then falls for Anna in Breton. Anna in England has a tiny trist with Ian who is a knight working for Morvan in the last book and finally falls for Lady Reyna.
Very interleaved!
