MODERATORS
The Canterbury Tales is a good one. It isn't a "learn about history" kind of book, but it gives plenty of insight into the common man in Medieval times, and it might fit the Medieval/prose vibe you're looking for. It's also well written and funny at times, along with being one of the most important writings of middle-english some time around 1400.
