What about A Column of Fire? Ned is fictional, but the author lists 6 (Kindle) pages of who was real. It is set in Elizabethan England and the plot is about the religious divide and his work for Elizabeth.

I just realized that this is a multi-generational book, as well, so there would be +5 Combo with 20.10 for this, as well.

Thanks for catching that Kate. I think it occurred to me while I was reading it, but not when I was posting it.
