The House of Lancaster lead to the Beaumonts (the bastard children of John of Gaunt and Katherine (de Roet) Swynford) which every English monarch since Henry VII is related to.

A great (non-fiction) work about that conflict is

One of the things I wish Martin did more with the books is go into the strategic thinking behind the actual battles, rather than simply focusing on the atrocities and economic/military consequences of their outcomes.

Daenyrs = Henry Tudor.
He was referred to as “The Dragon” and his standard was that of a dragon.
