What history lessons can we learn from Game of Thrones ?

GEORGE R. R. MARTIN

CEO

- an American novelist, short story writer, screenwriter and television producer - the author of the series of epic fantasy novels A Song of Ice and Fire - born September 20, 1948 - Northwestern University - Bachelor’s in journalism - one of the most influential people in the world (Time) - called "the American Tolkien"

The War Of Roses

''My model for this was the four-volume history of the Plantagenets that Thomas B. Costain wrote in the '50s. It’s old‑fashioned history: he’s not interested in analyzing socioeconomic trends or cultural shifts so much as... the plots and the betrayals, all the juicy stuff. Costain did a wonderful job on the Plantagenets so I tried to do that for the Targaryens.''

Edward Of Lancaster

William the Conqueror
