While it didn’t actually happen it IS based on history. He took a handful of real world dynastic kerfuffles and turned them into a high fantasy story. So he’s half right.

Yes, George RR Martin is an avid student of medieval history, so there are details in GoT that are somewhat accurate when it comes to detailing life back then.
However, if Snoop is referring to Dragons and all that, then yeah...he's been hitting the hippy lettuce too much.

Well dramatized by Shakespeare in his Henry VI/Richard III tetralogy of plays..

Kind of like taking THE 47 RONIN and turning it into a Keanu Reeves semi si-fi mess.
