I'm a huge fan of Cecelia Holland -
http://www.thefiredrake.com/You might try "Jerusalem" or "Antichrist" (Author's summary for both)-
JerusalemNY: Forge, hardcover 1996; paper 1997
A Knight Templar, enmeshed in the politics of the Kingdom of Jerusalem, struggles to keep himself right with God in the face of many temptations; ends with the battle of Hattin. I think this is my best novel.
AntichristNY: Atheneum, hardcover 1970
The renegade emperor Frederick II goes on crusade and saves Jerusalem.
----
Happy reading!

Try Sharan Newman's Catherine Lavendure mysteries.
