"Mademoiselle Butterfly" by Ogura Akane. One of the most beautifully depicted Historical romance I have ever read! http://www.mangago.zone/read-manga/mademoiselle_butterfly/
Oh, & ANYTHING by Inariya Fusanosuke. Everything she touches turns unto Pure Gold!

I think Kyozana gave you a couple nice BL options there with yaoi, and totally agree with Holic's options! I'll just leave some of my fav around.
http://www.mangago.zone/read-manga/innocent_sakamoto_shinichi/ (French revolution by a group of executors. Jaw-dropping art.)
http://www.mangago.zone/read-manga/rurouni_kenshin/ (Transition between bakumatsu and meiji period, lovely characters, definitely a fav)
http://www.mangago.zone/read-manga/sayonara_sorcier/ (Retelling of Van Gogh's story by his brother)
http://www.mangago.zone/read-manga/count_cain/ (A poison specialist Sherlockian eccentric nobleman in Victorian England)
http://www.mangago.zone/read-manga/ludwig_ii/ (History of a Bavarian king, retold in a BLesque fashion. Might be a little lacklusting, tho)
http://www.mangago.zone/read-manga/carmen/ (Retelling of Carmen's Opera. Est Em can do no wrong! :333)
http://www.mangago.zone/read-manga/renai_demo_classic/ (Basic shoujo manga in post-taisho era)
http://www.mangago.zone/read-manga/boku_wa_beatles/ (Time travel manga brings us back to Beatles days)
http://www.mangago.zone/read-manga/berserk/ (I'll give my heart for this manga! <3 It's fantasy, but still a great depiction of middle ages.)
http://www.mangago.zone/read-manga/nobunaga_no_chef/ (Another time travel manga, this time Sengoku period, where the main character gets to cook forsome of the most important men in the period, and is a personal chef to THE Oda Nobunaga. It's awesome!)
http://www.mangago.zone/read-manga/anatolia_story/ (Wow, don't we love time travel! A shoujo manga where the girl goes back to Anatolia. It's incredible that they do not try to sacrifice culture in order to make it more appealing. One of the best historical shoujos out there.)
http://www.mangago.zone/read-manga/waltz_wa_shiroi_dress_de/ (Early 20th century, I don't remember exactly where, but very cute shoujo, lots of feels man.)
http://www.mangago.zone/read-manga/rikugun_renai_shikan_gakkou/ (Funny WWII BL manga. I re-read it 4 times now. It's made for comedy, but still reminds you of what war can do.)
http://www.mangago.zone/read-manga/ai_towa_yoru_ni_kizuku_mono/
http://www.mangago.zone/read-manga/gerard_to_jacques/ (It wouldn't be a list of mine if I didn't insert Yoshinaga Fumi's French aristocrats. She makes them so appealling! Her manga are great, btw >B)
http://www.mangago.zone/read-manga/rose_of_versailles/ (One of the most famous historical manga, tells the story of Oscar, a woman raised as a men with very noble heart, during the times of Versailles. Feels very historical due to the art, and it is a bit melodramatic, but it's great.)
An extra:
Since everyone was talking about it today, I'm leaving this one as well.
http://www.mangago.zone/read-manga/fullmetal_alchemist/
It's a fantasy manga unapologetically similar to WWII. It's one of the best manga out there, please, do not miss it.
Have fun! ヾ(❀╹◡╹)ノ~
OMG!! Ju-on-chan! I love ALL your recs! But I have got to hand it to you for "Nobunaga no Chef"! How could I have forgotten such a Great Historical piece!! It's one of my favs! And to this day I still wait for it's update eagerly!! I already read FMA & I just picked up Count Cain. I'll check out your other suggestions! Thanks~
And @asami01, I remembered another Great one thanks to Ju-on mentioning Nobunaga no Chef. And that's "Vagabond". It's a bit long but it's completely worth the time effort! You won't be disappointed.
http://www.mangago.zone/read-manga/vagabond/ A Masterpiece among Historical Seinens!
