It's totally fine if you don't like talking animals. The reason I ask is because I want to rec you things you'd like.
The combination of romantic swordsmen and historical fiction makes me think you might enjoy La Rose Ecarlate (It is Jeunesse, though). Lady Liberty is also historical with swordsmen (well, swordswomen). Longer review of that here: http://dhampyresa.livejournal.com/47883.html
Historical fiction wise, I am really enjoying Alix Senator so far (mid/late reign of Augustus) even though I think not being familiar with the Alix series might hurt the emotional impact of some things.
I also really enjoyed most of Mauvais Genre, which is about a deserter from WW1 who dresses as a woman to escape notice. (Longer review in this post: http://dhampyresa.livejournal.com/42133.html, that also has several reviews of other comic books.)
In this post: http://dhampyresa.livejournal.com/66109.html I talked about both Eve sur la Balançoire (about Eve Nesbitt in early 20th century NYC) and Victor Hugo (it features some short appearances by Dumas, btw), which I both loved, if for different reasons.
There is also La Licorne, but a lot of my enjoyment from that come down to OMG HISTORY OF MEDICINE OMG AMBROISE PARE OMG and it has issues.
I owe sineala a post on BDs, so I will end up doing one at some point. I will probably end up talking a lot about things. (I was recently flipping through La Geste des Chevaliers-Dragons and I still have the exact same mess of conflicting feelings, for example.)
YOKO TSUNO IS AMAZING! Both the character and the series are really really great.
