Wait ... for a little more, here's the trailer of the first episode of Season 3:
Writing Euronews counts among its ranks many fans of the series and books. So we borrowed a little game and posed the following question: if Westeros and Essos, continents created by George RR Martin, were located in Europe, which countries to which islands or quoted correspond the kingdoms of the Iron Throne?
The author of the saga has admitted that he partly inspired by the Wars of the Roses, which opposed the royal houses of Lancaster and York in the fifteenth century in England. This is a good starting point, but Martin's universe is too vast and too tumultuous history to be fully implemented in Europe. That said, here are our suggestions! We have not tried to make only a geographical point of view, although we have tried to be as consistent as possible at this level. We also took into account the history, general characteristics, and even some shots for each of our choices.
Beware though , this article contains many spoilers , for those who have not seen the first two seasons of the series and read the first two books, A Game of Thrones and A Clash of Kings .
