Angel Eyes Posted April 17, 2018 Share Posted April 17, 2018 Ned has also been compared with Richard III and George VI (that would be Elizabeth II’s father). Don’t forget Lucrezia Borgia for Cersei. and Henry IV for Robert Baratheon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don’t forget Lucrezia Borgia for Cersei. and Henry IV for Robert Baratheon. I was only doing English peopel or consorts so that's why I didn't add Lucrezia Borgia for Cersei. Richard III represents Ned Stark in how much the north of England loves him, but other than that, there isn't much resemblence as Ned would certainly have never usurped and possibly killed his nephews.

Angel Eyes Posted April 17, 2018 Share Posted April 17, 2018 Well, GRRM went to town on basing people off of Richard III. There’s a very long paragraph on them on Wikipedia, Here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
