Hellooo Guys, this post is going to be about real history characters that have some similiar characteristics with the characters in GoT .
ROBB STARK
Robb has been matched to a young Edward IV, who also fought against the
throne at an early age by commanding his armed forces of overwhelming victories
over the Lancastrians. In 1460, Richard of York (Edward’s father) was killed in
the Battle of Wakefield. The Lancastrians relieved Richard of his head and exposed
it on a pike, just like in the show that what Joffrey did to Robb’s father,
Ned.
EDDARD STARK
Ned has some similar characteristics with England’s last
Yorkist king, Richard III.
Firstly, Richard was given tasks of leading the north of
England and protecting the Scottish border before he ascended to the throne.
And for Ned, he was Warden of the North under King Robert, and he had some
connection with the Night’s Watch, which they have to protect wall from the
night walker which is the northernmost boundary of the Seven Kingdoms.
ROBERT BARATHEON
At the beginning of the series, Robert is a fat and intolerable king who is fascinated in hunting, drinking and
having sex than actually governing the Seven Kingdoms. He barely brings to mind
of strapping, fearsome warrior who dethroned Aerys Targaryen.
That falls into similar situation to Edward IV, a successful
warrior who became ignoble for spoiling in too much food, wine and sex. He died
after a fishing trip, which is kind of similar to Robert, who got pierced by a wild
boar while hunting.
