Maybe there's options like 16th Century, 17th Century in the keywords in Search. Shakespeare would have some adaptations from early in the period though I'm aware that a lot of his plays such as MacBeth were older history. Just had a quick glance at my 10 out of 10 list, couldn't see anything apart from a Corpse Bride (technically 19th Century I believe but total fantasy) and Citizen Kane which was partly set very late in the period. I had a few 10s that were older history.

Vanity Fair (2004, Reese Witherspoon)
True Grit
Master and Commander
Ran (Japanese, Kurosawa)
Red Cliff (Chinese)
Shakespeare in Love
The Prestige
Dances with Wolves
Titanic
Gladiator
Les Miserables (various versions)
Moulin Rouge
Phantom of the Opera
Possession (2002, Gwyneth Paltrow)
The Princess Bride?
Tangled?
Frozen?
You have enough suggestions to last you for ages, but I figured I'd list a handful of MY favorites.

Hate leads to anger.
Anger leads to the Dark Side.
This is a Haiku.

You will find particularly many Japanese movies about historical events.
I have included some movies that happened no brief time BEFORE 1500. Are you interested in such movies or not?
How about READING fiction or non-fiction about history?
Many people (including me) but not all people think that the best movie ever made is "Children of Paradise" by Carné. Most central persons really lived. Around 1820 a very famous pantomimic hat the name Bapttiste Dubareau, and an easily famous actress was Frederick LeMêtre. Pierre-Francois Lacenaire was a minor criminal, though he did kill one person in his life. He was executed in 1836. While he waited for execution he wrote his memoirs, which are also published in English translation.
I can give more information about the films if you want to.
