I'm re-reading Bernard Cornwell's Warlord Saga, which is a mix of historical fiction and Arthurian mythology, and I am getting a good AS&SH vibe.  If you haven't read it, it's a far cry from the more well known takes on King Arthur.  I might take a stab at making an adventure based off of it.  

Need to re-read this amazing take on the King Arthur story.  The Sharpe's series is good as well.  Not so much for ASSH but well.... A British Rifle regiment gets caught up in a strange mist....
 

I think the Warlord Chronicles is a great fit for AS&SH. I stumbled into The Winter King in my public library 18 years ago and was immediately hooked. There's a good deal more superstition and black magic in this trilogy than in The Last Kingdom. I love the way Lancelot is revealed to be a cowardly douchebag who paid off poets. 

The magic in the series is subtle but it still plays a central role because the people all BELIEVE it works.  Merlin explains to Derfel in the first book, that HE knows his magic works, but he puts on a show to help the doubters along.
