I do pride myself in figuring out on my own that the novels are in part based on the War of the Roses.
Well, Martin didn’t really stretch his brain too hard when he named them “Stark” and “Lannister”.
It is interesting how he took lots of real historical events and places and just exaggerated them, like the Wall being Hadrian’s Wall, and the Red Wedding being based on the “Black Dinner”.
Love this show! Last night episode was epic...
Interesting about War of the Roses. I’m in process of reading book about Richard III & have read several about that time period. I can definitely see the similarities..have decided to read GOT books later :)
