seems like you ' re lost , rpolitics is down there . <| sep |> DO jump off a bridge if everyone else is doing it <| sep |> IGN Spoon ! Slot alpha rifleman <| sep |> Oh my fucking Booty SpivotarFTFY even more . <| sep |> He ' s the athletic version of Ken Bone . <| sep |> Wasn ' t Lahm in there <| sep |> Some of it was based off of the history of the War of the Roses , fought in England between 1455 and 1485 between the Houses York and Lancaster Stark and Lannister . see the resemblance ? However , I do believe that both York and Lancaster were branches , so Game of Thrones is somewhat different to the history it is based on Starks and Lannisters were never mentioned to have any blood relation . Also , the Starks weren ' t actively fighting for the Iron Throne . Interesting bit of history , really .
