ere killed (Martin, 1996: 196, 197, 226). Plus, Tywin Lannister is inspired by Richard Neville, the wealthiest man of the reign also known as “The Kingmaker” that had domineering political connections through the land and defended the legitimacy of the kings. (Johnson Lewis, 2014).
Similarly, Lord Tywin is the most controlling and wealthiest man in the Seven Kingdoms and allied the monarch to his convenience (Martin, 1996: 238, 239). In the case of House Stark, two of their members have several similitudes with the same person. Eddard Stark and the leader of Scottish revolution, William Wallace, were accused of betrayal and were consequently beheaded by the king (BBC, 2014b). Besides, their heads were placed on a pike as a warning for rebels (Martin, 1996: 226). Eddard’s son, Robb Stark, resembles Wallace profile too. Both were representatives of the North in the war and declared these territories as independent kingdoms. The younger members of House Stark, Bran and Rickon, share a special story with the Princes in the Tower; a couple of toddlers with rights to the throne that were hidden during their childhood (Baldwin, 2013). Both events present a couple of princes that are alienated from their families because of the political instability. They both lost their rights to the throne and were officially murdered, but there are reports which support that they were apt to escape. Although it is true that the children survived in Westeros (Martin, 1998: 447,448), there are only expectations about what happened with the Princes in the Tower (Baldwin, 2013).
When it comes to the Targaryen dynasty it is thought to be related to two of the most important characters of English history. Aegon the Conqueror is similar to William the Conqueror, not only in their nicknames: they colonized lands effectively, unified the territories, and were proclaimed kings (Diomedes, 2006). In addition, Daenerys Stormborn bring to mind Elizabeth I in many aspects. In their childhood they were detached from their families and the court, and their rights to the throne were questioned (Briscoe, 2011). Both queens succeeded to the throne during their early life and presented themselves as independent and tough women (Martin, 2012: 51, 52). Besides, they were leaders in a world of men and never left that the romantic matters divert their politic commitme
