#6 - Game of Thrones: What fantasy fiction can teach us about real power struggles in medieval Europe

George RR Martin's epic tale of a Song of Fire and Ice has been turned into the hottest TV show (in every sense of that phrase) of the last decade. Jem loves it and thinks it’s not only a great story, an epic TV show but also hiding real history amongst the dragons and the bedrooms. Its fantasy, but it can teach us important lessons about real history, and not just the Wars of the Roses. Come with NEON on a journey to the world of Scottish medieval politics, European dynastic clashes and of course the Wall, what is and what it isn’t.Written & Presented by Jem DuducuProduced by Dan MorelleMusic: Orbital - CopenhagenBe awesome, support us on PatreonSubscribe to the podcast on iTunes and follow us on Twitter.
