History, myth, science, astronomy, literature-there are even sports references and The Three Stooges. The North is Scotland, particularly the highlands, the Reach is France, Dorne is Spain/Morocco with a touch of Wales. The Dothraki are a mix of Mongol and Native American with a few others thrown in. The Wall is based on Hadrian's wall, the Red Wedding comes from the Black Dinner, and Braavos is based on Venice but with the Titan being the Colossus of Rhodes. Stephen and Matilda are represented by Aegon II and Rhaenyra.Ī lot of England, but also other cultures. GRRM himself has said Aegon IV is the Westerosi Henry VIII. EW also has some elements given to Jeyne Westerling, including descent from a possible witch.īaelor Breakspear is rather Edward the Black Prince.
Tywin is a cross between Warwick and Philip the Fair, with Cersei taking PtF's daughter Isabella and a bit of Elizabeth Woodville. Tyrion and Jaime also seem to split Anthony Woodville. Robert and Robb share Edward IV, Stannis and Tyrion share Richard III, and Renly was the Duke of Clarence. Robert Baratheon is quite clearly Edward IV with Stannis being Richard duke of Gloucester(Richard III) and Rickard Stark is Richard of YorkĪctually they're a bit split. However, it is still based quite heavily off the WotR. GRRM has taken parts from all over history. The ten, or at least one of them is Varys, the hated eunuch that helps rule Sima Yi is Petyr, destroying the realm from the inside Yuan Shu is Renly, younger brother donned the crown out of a superstition Noble heritage, father was a hero of the realm, brother was greater and loved by its people, but the third ruler will be the greatestīlackwater is Red Cliff, burn those boats Also Guan Yu and Zhang Fei swearing at the peach garden reminds me of Aggo and the other bloodriders.
Lui Bei is kinda like Dany, being a scion of the throne who fights for and doesn't abandon the people. A military and political genius,he was all a king is and strives to be, without ever wearing a crown. Villain and enemy of the realm, unless he's your lord in which case he's harsh but fair.
Three kingdoms china plus#
Plus they're both Kingslayers, Jaime was given the greatest honor a knight can by his victim, and Lu Bu was adopted by his.Ĭao Cao is Tywin. Theyre rash and overly proud on the battlefield and too impatient for court and politics. They're both recognized as the greatest and bravest fighters of their time and they both do the things they do for love. Lu Bu is basically a parallel to the kingslayer. I now think GRRM instead of basing off of Medieval England based it off Ancient China.ĭong Zhou is a little like Robert the usurping rapist, but more like cruel mad Aerys whom the heros of the realm united to destroy, but was actually killed by his own guard. Everyone says that asoiaf is based off war of roses, and I can see the Sansa=Ann Cersei=Elizabeth and Aegon was one of the princes in the tower, but that's pretty much all I see.
