Targaryen loyalist

The Duel: 10/10 The Rest of the Episode: 4/10 Sandor&Arya at the bloodgate, the GreyWorm-Missandrei bromance, the beetle speech... A lot of questionable choices...

Aegon is clearly William the Conqueror, the Targaryen are the Normans/Angevins/Plantagenet. The Conquistadores basically exterminated all the indigenous population, while Aegon like William simply defeated the previous rulers. Westeros resembles England for most of its extent, with Dorne being like a Mediterranean conuntry and the Free Cities like the Italian ones (as Snow White sayd).

I was wondering this morning to this analogy: Daenerys = Elizabeth I Both have their struggle to claim the throne, both faced betrayals and both faced a big invasion (Elizabeth the Invincible Armada, Dany the Others). Elizabeth was the Virgin Queen, she had not children. Dany, as far as we know, is barred and maybe she doesn't want to re-marry again.

I agree, Braavos is very close to Venice in its description.
