While making his very point by point dreamland, George R.R. Martin based quite a bit of Game of Thrones on medieval European history. Specifically, Martin drew intensely from the War of the Roses, which set the good North against the guile South. We've expounded on how The Red Wedding depended on two authentic occasions. Here are seven more conceivable verifiable associations. 

(We don't know how far you've made it into the show/books, so expect there are spoilers ahead.) 

1. Ruler Joffrey is Edward of Lancaster. 

As detestable as he may be, King Joffrey's horrible identity is by all accounts established ever. Edward of Lancaster was the child of King Henry VI and Margaret of Anjou—and, similar to Joffrey, he was supposed to be of ill-conceived birth. Additionally like Joffrey, Edward had a touch of frenzy, and he shared Joffrey's liking for cutting off the leaders of his foes. The Ambassador of Milan once expressed, "This kid, however just 13 years old, as of now discusses only of cutting off heads or making war, as though he had everything in his grasp or was the divine force of fight or the serene inhabitant of that position of royalty." History additionally gave Edward his comeuppance: he was wounded to death by Edward IV of York, what might as well be called Robb Stark. 

2. Theon Greyjoy is George Plantagenet, first Duke of Clarence. 

Theon experienced childhood in Winterfell as a ward to Lord Eddard Stark and a surrogate sibling to Robb. Following the episode of the War of the Five Kings, Theon was one of Robb's most confided in guides. After Robb sent Theon to meet with his dad, Balon Greyjoy, Theon turned on his companion and attacked the North. 

Theon's recorded partner, George Plantagenet, was sibling to Edward IV of York and, as Theon, started the War of the Roses as a staunch York protector. Much like Theon, George Plantagenet turned on his sibling amid the War of the Roses and abandoned to the Lancasters. After Edward won the war, George was suffocated in a butt of wine for his treachery, which is a substantially kinder discipline than the numerous barbarities that Theon has persevered. 

3. The Red Faith is Zoroastrianism. 

In the show, Stannis takes after the counsel of the "Red Woman," Melisandre, who adores a remote ruler of light, R'hllor. The confidence of the R'hllor seems, by all accounts, to be founded on the old Persian religion Zoroastrianism. In Zoroastrianism, fire is viewed as a medium for profound mindfulness and astuteness, with admirers regularly supplicating within the sight of flame or in flame sanctuaries. Like the devotees of The Lord of Light, Zoroastrianism likewise focuses on an extraordinary battle and the duality amongst great and insidiousness (in the arrangement it is alluded to as "The Lord of Light" and "The Great Other"). Starting at the present moment, there is no confirmation to recommend that evil presence shadow babies really existed. 

4. Jaime Lannister is Gottfried von Berlichingen. 

In Game of Thrones' season four debut, Jaime Lannister got a sparkly new gold hand to supplant the one that was hacked off. The Kingslayer, be that as it may, follows in the strides of Gottfried von Berlichingen, or as he was known, "Gotz of the Iron Hand." Like Jaime, Gotz was destined to a respectable family before filling in as an Imperial Knight. Amid fight, Gotz's hand was brushed off by a gun. Not effortlessly discouraged, Gotz composed a prosthetic iron hand and came back to battle. He's notable for his catchphrase, "er kann mich am Arsche lecken" ("he can lick my arse"), which additionally makes him a forerunner to Futurama's Bender. 

5. Lyanna Stark is Lucretia. 

Lyanna Stark was the sister of Eddard Stark and the one intimate romance of Robert Baratheon. While never portrayed in the network show, her asserted capturing by Rhaegar Targaryen and the occasions that took after started Robert's Rebellion, which landed him on the Iron Throne. Lucretia is a Roman figure who submitted suicide subsequent to being assaulted by the Etruscan lord's child, a catastrophe that started the insurgency to topple the government and set up the Roman Republic. Her last words, "Vow me your serious word that the miscreant might not go unpunished," likewise appear to emulate Lyanna's well known last words, "Guarantee me, Ned..." 

6. The Battle of Blackwater Bay is The Second Arab Siege of Constantinople. 

The Battle of Blackwater Bay—when Stannis Baratheon endeavored to attack the capital of King's Landing—was the concentration of the penultimate scene of season two. Stannis was vanquished after Tyrion assaulted his naval force with out of control fire, a concoction that consumes on water. Tyrion may have gotten this thought from The Second Arab Siege of Constantinople, where Greek Fire, a comparable substance, was utilized to repulse trespassers. Furthermore, in the books, Tyrion utilized a goliath anchor to slice through Stannis' naval force, which is unmistakably propelled by the Great Chain of Constantinople, likewise utilized as a part of The Second Arab Siege. 

7. The Red Wedding is from the Kojiki. 

Session of Thrones' "Red Wedding" is a standout amongst the most stunning crossroads in TV history. In one move, Tywin Lannister (in agreement with the Roose Bolton and Walder Frey) executes Robb Stark and closes the northern defiance with "The Rains of Castamere." The Red Wedding is said to be founded on two British slaughters, yet it likewise attracts parallels to an antiquated Japanese occasion: the Kojiki, a half-authentic, half-fanciful content that accounts the ascent of Japan's first ruler, Emperor Jimmu. The second piece of the Kojiki portrays how Jimmu united his energy: by killing the greater part of his political adversaries at a devour. Like the Red Wedding, the begin of the slaughter was a tune, this one sung by Jimmu himself.
