Just finished Cornwell's latest: "Fools and Mortals".

It spins a tale around a lesser-known brother of William Shakespeare in order to give a fictional tour of Elizabethan London, just as the Puritans were starting to get a little rowdy. It also gives an interesting spin on the near simultaneous authorship of "A Midsummer Night's Dream" and "Romeo and Juliet", both wedding plays -- one as comedy and the other as tragedy.

It's a little light on the rape and pillage, at which Cornwell is masterful. But it is well-worth a read.
