Till we come to some beginning within our own power...
The Wolf Hall trilogy from Hilary Mantel does a good job of this genere. I liked it more than when I tried to read Pillars of the Earth.

Neal Stephenson's Baroque Cycle is also good, but it is playing way faster and loser with history than some others.
