Although "Game of Thrones" is a magical masterpiece, George R.R. Martin's favorite job is to send lunch boxes to the protagonists at every turn, causing countless resentment from readers. However, Martin has also said that the basic framework of the novel "A Song of Ice and Fire" ("Game of Thrones" is adapted from "A Song of Ice and Fire") is derived from the British "War of the Roses", and if you understand this history, you know that the real Game of Thrones is only afraid of sending lunch boxes more frequently.
By the way, my favorite "Legend of the Galactic Heroes" was also famous for the protagonist's lunch box, and "Tanaka who Killed Everyone" is really worthy of the name.
"Game of Thrones" is based on the bloody war between the stark family and the lannister family. The Wars of the Roses were based on the York family and the Lancaster family. However, because the story is too complicated, and Fat Martin is not a one-to-one counterpart of the characters, we can only combine to mention as much as possible, after all, this is history and not magic fiction. Besides, I haven't filled the hole about the Hundred Years' War yet, rest assured, I still remember it. Speaking of this history, let's start with the monarchs of the Lancastrian dynasty.
Henry IV ascended the throne
The Lancastrian dynasty was a short-lived dynasty, from the founding of the Yorkist dynasty by Henry IV in 1399 to Edward IV in 1461, with three generations of grandchildren and three Henrys.

Although the Lancastrian dynasty, which had Henry IV, V and VI, was a direct descendant of Plantagenet, Henry IV directly deposed his reigning predecessors through an armed rebellion and replaced them, thus recalibrating a new dynasty. (If it were to be divided this way, China's dynasties would not be counted, and the palace coup would change dynasties at a time?) ）
When Richard II, the deposed king, died inexplicably, the cloud of curses that pervaded the British nobility became thicker. It is said that some bad omens occurred at the time of Henry's coronation, something lost a coronation boot; a golden spur fell off; and a gust of wind blew away his crown at the banquet.

The reason why these claims were spread by the people is because Henry IV's succession was not very viable from the beginning:
First of all, like Zhu Di in the East in the same period, he also had the problem of improper position. Richard II, childless, had appointed Philippa Plantagenet, the only daughter of Lionel of Antwerp, the son of Roger Mortimer, the fourth count of March, and the grandson of Edmund Mortimer, the fifth count of March, as crown princes, and you Henry IV could not be king in the name of the Qing king. However, Henry IV's inheritance was from patrilineal descent, while the Earl of March's inheritance was from matrilineal descent, and his grandmother was the granddaughter of Edward III. But which is the priority, between the elderly and the young, or between men and women? There was a lot of controversy in England at that time, and it was one of the origins of the later Wars of the Roses. What's more, the death of Richard II left Henry IV guilty of murder, which is unacceptable in any dynasty! In China, if you were once a courtier, even if you were an emperor, you wouldn't dare to kill the emperor himself, such as Cao Cao. What's more, this king is your cousin, and if everyone does this, the basis of the entire feudal rule will no longer exist, and how can you preach loyalty to the superior?
Portrait of Henry IV
"The Empty Crown" is based on Shakespeare's classic "Henry IV", the most famous of which is "Henry IV", unfortunately, this is actually mainly about henry V's childhood, which shows how bad Henry IV's sense of existence is.
Jeremy Irons plays the middle-aged henry IV of the empty crown in the second part
Henry IV is described in "The Empty Crown" as relatively reliable, both capable and capable, but also a bit sinister and unreasonable, cold-faced and ruthless. This person is not very reasonable, more dependent on power, does not follow the mainstream rules, and has some unscrupulous means.
Henry IV usurped the throne and the royal coat of arms was changed back to its previous appearance. However, at this time, the French royal family was a three-gold iris on a blue background. Therefore, adjustments were made
This is the coat of arms of the French royal family at that time, and it is clear what to do
Thus, only three months after Henry ascended the throne, a wave of rebellion began. During his reign for more than a decade, almost all of them were in the midst of chaos, pressing the gourd and floating up the scoop, one moment someone came to fight for the throne under the name of Edmund Mortimer, a descendant of Edward III's second son, and someone came to the throne under the banner of revenge for Richard II, and some people came to make trouble under the name of Edward III's younger brother...
Interestingly, Edmund Mortimer, Earl of March, himself remained loyal to the Lancastrian dynasty, even though the Percy family was ready to support him as king.
Intriguingly, Henry IV's younger brother, Edward III's fourth son, the Duke of York, has always been very ambiguous, always verbally supporting the Lancastrian family, but secretly always implicated in the chaotic parties, or with support and sympathy. This ambiguity was clear to all by the time of the Wars of the Roses.

From 1399 to 1407, the fires and the constant court battles to raise military expenses and the constant litigation of the lower house of parliament eventually exhausted Henry IV's last bit of energy, and for the next six years Henry IV was tormented by strange diseases (said to be leprosy), until the death of henry IV, who was seriously ill in 1413, and his throne passed to his second son Henry, known historically as Henry V.
Note: I admit that in fact, Henry IV is not much better, originally wanted to merge the fifth and sixth grandfathers, and knotted the Lancastrian dynasty, but then I thought something was wrong. Henry V was closely related to the Hundred Years' War. Henry VI and the Wars of the Roses were closely related, and together, the whole structure was thrown into disarray. In desperation, he gave Henry IV a single independent transmission. Rest assured, the story behind is absolutely wonderful!!
