This is an old AD&D module, but it is almost perfect for Conan. Essentially the heir apparent of a kingdom is on a pilgrimmage when the king is killed in a 'hunting accident'. The regent has begun a search for the heir, but secretly intends to rule himself with the help of a powerful nobleman, the Duke of Andevar. The pcs are hired by a member of the dead king's council to find the heir before the regent does. They find that allies of the heir are being murdered/imprisoned, and ultimately that the heir is himself imprisoned by the regent and his sorceress companion. I read this in my old collection and thought it would be perfect for Conan--it has relatively little magic and an entirely humanocentric point of view. The only supernatural elements are a griffon (as the main monster guarding the castle) and a haunted tree in a forest. I felt I could kind of keep them as they were, though I might change the griffon to a more primeval creature--not sure what yet. It has definitely a feel that belongs to Hyboria, chivalry and noble plots and so on.
I was wondering if anyone has ideas about any other modules/adventures that could be converted.
