Sound familiar? It may read like the plot of Game of Thrones. Yet that wasalso the story of the bloodiest battle in British history, fought at theculmination of the War of the Roses. George RR Martin 's bestselling novelsare rife with allusions, inspirations, and flat-out copies of real-lifepeople, events, and places of medieval and Tudor England and Europe. The RedWedding? Based on actual events in Scottish history. The poisoning of JoffreyBaratheon? Eerily similar to the death of William the Conqueror's grandson.The Dothraki? Also known as Huns, Magyars, Turks, and Mongols.
Join Ed West, author of Skyhorse's A Very, Very Short History of Englandseries, as he explores all of Martin's influences, from religion to war topowerful women. Instead of despairing while waiting for Season 8 of Game ofThrones , discover the real history behind the phenomenon and see foryourself that truth is stranger than fiction.
