On "non-fantasy" PnP Game

Any pen-and-paper medieval RPGs you know of with no fantasy elements? As much as I like fantasy/sci-fi, I also have an avid interest in the Middle Ages. I've also been really getting into Bernard Cornwell's medieval historical fiction, which is quite good, although not for the faint of heart. I suppose I could just modify DnD, or Basic Fantasy which is what I use now.

If you like Medieval Ages you can run RuneQuest\Legend system with
Stupor Mundi, about between 1214 and 1274 A.D setting.

There's always GURPS. You can run a straight medieval game as realistic as you want, but be warned: the middle ages weren't actually that much fun.

Yes, it's not like the movies. Disease, famine, and everyone's covered in crap.

Correct.
Also I will run a 4th edition campaign of Gurps with space opera setting this weeks.
