I will throw out the Deed of Paksenarrion series (the first three books only though the rest are... there...) by Elizabeth Moon.
How does someone become a Paladin, a holy warrior of goodness? What do they have to do to get there and what setbacks will they face? What is the price you pay to be that kind of hero?
It is quite well written and since its from a former Marine you do get the sense that you have to be torn down before you can build up again.
Plus since came out over twenty years ago you can probably find the original books second hand dirt cheap.

Several good ones already named. Medieval fantasy/medieval fiction are 2 different genres, both replete with solid series.
All the Sanderson works: Mistborn, Way of Kings, Warbreaker are solid.
Lynch's Gentleman Bastards series.
Brent Weeks' Way of Shadows and Lightbringer Series
Weis and Hickman's Dragonlance, and there are a ton of quality side stories and offshoots of this.
Bernard Cornwell's Lords of the North and Grail Quesr series
Anything by Michael Curtis Ford
