‘Game of Thrones’ Is Apparently Based On A True Story In History And My Mind Is Officially Blown

More Henry’s

We got ourselves another Henry! Henry Tudor didn’t have silver hair and purple eyes, no dragon’s and oh yeah, he was a dude. He did end up fleeing from England as a young boy after his father a royal Lancaster, was killed during a rising rebellion. Everyone was getting sick of Richard III with his hunchback, just knocking off family members and Henry Tudor realized this. So, he began campaigning and gaining support for his claim to cross the sea from France and take the crown from Richard. He basically put together a group of misfits to help back his claim. He sought the help of Scots and Welshmen and any other people who felt persecuted by the current English ruler.

Daenerys?

Henry sailed for England in 1485, his army was sadly lacking Dothraki screamers and a couple of dragons, Henry and the army of misfit toys defeated hunchbacked King Richard’s forces. After the victory in a very Thrones-ish fashion, he obviously had to fornicate with someone he shared blood with, Elizabeth York, older sister of the princes Richard locked in a tower or whatever. Finally a  marriage between a Lancaster and a York. This brought together both rose sigils and began the famous Tudor bloodline.

Read a History Book!

I think it’s obvious Martin has traced the outlines of England’s history. Let me tell you, I am not complaining. He based some of the most well thought out characters in literary history off of some of the most interesting figures in history, good move, George. Medieval times might have been more entertaining then I imagined. I mean what a time to be alive?! Besides the fact you’d probably die before you’re 21 and the no technology thing. You think the Kardashian family has drama?! HA! Nothing compared to the York’s and the Lancaster’s Khloe is not raising an army and sailing across the ocean if she feels slighted by Kim. This is the type of beef we need. Game of Thrones definitely helps fill the void but this is what real family drama looks like, people.
