Man wakes up and finds himself in medieval Europe (I think)
I'm looking for a book about a man who wakes up in medieval times and uses his advanced knowledge to get ahead. He becomes a knight and winds up having a fiefdom of his own to develop. He then builds structures for his people, like apartments, windmills etc., and improves on farming and sanitation. He is preparing for a war which he knows will happen in a few years (from history).
There's also a sequel I'd like to find. I read this 15 years ago (or more), I think.

Neither of these is the story you're looking for, but a couple of famous stories along those general lines are Mark Twain's A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court and L. Sprague de Camp's Lest Darkness Fall. Compare with Poul Anderson's "The Man Who Came Early", in which the guy from the future is a total failure in the past.
