About the book: year / As a basis for creating his epic, Martin used the history of the War of the Roses, the largest feudal intrastate conflict in the history of medieval Europe, when during For 30 years, two branches of the English royal Plantagenet dynasty (Lancaster and York) fought for the throne. During the war, all conceivable and unimaginable crimes and betrayals were committed, almost the entire ancient Anglo-Norman nobility perished, and the honor of chivalry was literally trampled into the mud. The fantasy tracing of these events is the history of the Seven Kingdoms. The action of Martin's cycle is fragmentary and from these fragments an epic picture of love and hatred, peace and war, a merciless struggle for power and selfless self-sacrifice is formed. This cycle is a fantasy “War and Peace”; there is no single hero in whose perception the events are shown (although the Stark family is at the center of events). There are many heroes, they stand on different sides of the barricades and each has their own truth, everything is like in life, without a primitive division into black and white.
