I've been reading Empires of the Sea and corsairs are cool....but I still prefer a setting more reminiscent of the mid 16th century with play into "Gloriana" and the full on Northern Renaissance (with a survival of the Cathars, Constantinople, the Caliph of Baghdad and etc...).
The Rough Wooing is definitely the era for a border reiver game with the PCs originating north of the border. If you want English characters then the 1580s is a pretty good era.

Strangely, I'm currently reading Empires of the Sea AND Game of Kings. I'll heartily endorse both for anyone interested in gaming based on the period.

I'd love to relaunch that setting. I'll start thinking on players.
