I'm struggling to think of anything lore wise in gambo thrones that wasn't a real event in English history, or at the very least a popular belief / self worshipping mythology

I can never decide which is funnier to me, GRRM being a Disney screenwriter in their children's animation division or the fact he abandoned the song of ice and fire entirely and now exclusively adds to an absolute trash universe he created about removed racist cajun vampires with alcoholism and gambling that makes Twilight look like Pride and Prejudice
