Beginning around 1377, medieval England was shaken by a power struggle between two noble families, which spanned generations and involved a massive cast of characters, complex motives and shifting loyalties. Sound familiar? Alex Gendler illustrates how the historical conflict known as the Wars of the Roses served as the basis for much of the drama in Game of Thrones.
Lesson by Alex Gendler, animation by Brett Underhill.

Moral of story: To end a war, marry the enemy

'As far as we know medieval England was never invaded by ice zombies' that all depends on how you define the Scottish.
-
You can just imagine if one day someone makes a successful book or tv series about the wars of roses and people say it's ripping off game of thrones. Lol
-
And for those who are wondering, House of the Dragon is based on the Anarchy. One of Britain’s earliest civil wars against Empress Matilda (Rhaenyra) and Stephen of Blois (Aegon).

Aside from the lack of dragons, the war of the roses sounds even more amazing Though the people had to wait for decades for the next chapters
-
"If you think this has a happy ending, you're not paying attention."
-
No mention of the Tyrells? Their symbol is a double rose, and they gain power mostly via their crops and marriage. They're definitely a reference
-
A Lancaster always Pays his debts
-
The ice zombies are just the angry Scottish
-
I'm literally shocked at the amount of people calling history a spoiler... lol

Real life: unites the roses Show: burns the roses
-
"King Henry died while in captivity." Probably from a severe case of the murders
-
Margaret could be both Cersei and Margery
-
How is the real life ending to "Game of Thrones" better than the ending the show had.
-
"Finally ending nearly a century of war"... Only to give birth to henry the 8th aka "divorced, beheaded, died, divorced beheaded, widowed"

Son: "You love me as a son right?" Dad: "I love you as a political bargaining tool" Heir to the throne in a nutshell
-
This is why i like game of thrones. Because it's a pretty realistic portrayal of warfare and politics. It's never simple in life, why should stories be simple?
-
This is truly fascinating.
-
This six-minute supercut was more dedicated to character development than season seven and eight of Game of Thrones combined.
-
Wildfire = Greek fire. Archimedes used it against the Roman ships. Valyrian steel = Damascus steel. Like in the series, the exact manufacturing process is unknown.
