Have you tried James Clavell's "Shogun" series? They aren't exactly a series but I read Shogun and Thai Pan. Can't recommend them highly enough. James Michener is another good author of historical fiction. I only read his "Caribbean" novel though.

You'd probably like Bernard Cornwell's novels, then.

Do the Pre-enlightenment folks act like they would instead of having all sorts of very modern ideas?

Many of them, yes. In Agincourt, there's a priest that definitely should not be, which is pretty period accurate since, you know... the Black Death. There's a few instances of more modern ideals, but it's pretty close to most of the time.

Protagonists don't walk around with modern ideas of decency and rights than?

Not too much, especially in the Saxon Chronicles.

The main character there is 100% pagan and believes in crushing enemies with maximum bloodlust.

Certainly not modern ideas. In the ones I've read, the protagonist is still more decent than the antagonist, but that boils down to things like rape the nun, don't rape the nun.
