I only remember maybe one or two in a 1,000 page book.

Ya I don't remember rape being every 4 page or anything like that in Pillars of The Earth. The one main character who was raped it kinda defined her character's struggles and life progression. Although Ken Folett and Cornwell are very different types of writers even if they write mostly historical stuff. All of Follett's novels tend to all take place over many years where you see the characters grow up and change slowly. Cormwell tend to be more narrow, concise and more about war/battle. I like both though since you can learn some history through their books since both of them do good research for fiction writers.

I need to read more of Cornwell. I have only read the Arthur Series and loved it for the most apart even though I felt the series got weaker with each book it was still very good. Cormwell writes some of the best battle scenes in the world. I remember GRRM saying exactly that. I feel like a lot of fantasy readers would love Cormwell because his series are realistic but as epic as most fantasy series out there.
