《權利的遊戲》裏的10件真實歷史事件(2)

War of the Roses

7.玫瑰戰爭

While George R.R. Martin isn't just rewriting history word for word, there are distinct parallels between the War of the Five Kings and real world War of the Roses. Game of Thrones features Houses Lannister and Stark embroiled in bloody battle, involving several other houses as well. The War of the Roses involved Houses Lancaster and York clashing for 30 long years. It's not just their names that are similar. Edward of York can definitely bond with Robb Stark, as he also was thrust into the spotlight after his father was brutally killed. Both Eddard Stark and Richard of York's heads were mounted on the city gates despite their high civil stature (head mounting was reserved for petty criminals). Both were skilled in warfare and veritably undefeated, and both married for love.

然而，作者喬治·馬丁卻沒有逐字逐句的改編歷史。"權利的遊戲"中的五王之戰和史實上的玫瑰之戰也具有着明顯的相似之處。在劇中，蘭尼斯特王族和史塔克以及其他幾個王族被捲入一場腥風血雨的戰爭之中，而由蘭開斯特王族和約克王族交擂的玫瑰之戰持續了三十年之久。 這些戰爭並不僅僅是名字相同，約克王族的愛德華可以和史塔克聯繫在一起，即愛德華也是在愛德華的父親被殘忍殺害後被刺殺的。同時，儘管擁有顯赫的的身份，艾德·史塔克和愛德華二人的屍首也是被架在了城牆之上。（架頭於城牆上的刑法都是針對低級罪犯實施的）。而且，兩者都是被害死於戰場可卻從沒被真正打敗過，另外他們也是爲了愛情而成婚。

ezia Borgia

6.盧克雷齊婭·博爾賈

Game of Thrones fans who love Assassin's Creed or Italian history in general will enjoy this one. Infamous Lucrezia Borgia shares many traits with Cersei Lannister. Like the Lannisters, the Borgia family was very wealthy, with their influence reaching far and wide. Lucrezia was used by her father to secure political alliances, and was engaged twice before she was 13. In the series, Cersei is the twin sister of Jaime, of whom she is fond enough to take to her bed (or the wall, or the floor, or a random tower that Bran Stark is climbing). Lucrezia Borgia was known to shower her brother with much more than sisterly affection as well. Talk about extreme brotherly love!

《權力的遊戲》的粉絲中如果喜歡《刺客信條》（一款遊戲）或者意大利歷史的一般都會喜歡這個人物。臭名昭著的盧克雷齊婭·博爾賈與瑟曦·蘭尼斯特有很多共性。就像蘭尼斯特家族一樣，盧克雷齊婭·博爾賈家族同樣非常富有，其影響勢力深遠。盧克雷齊婭·博爾賈被父親利用，進行政治聯姻，13歲之前訂過兩次婚。在系列書中，瑟曦是詹姆的妹妹，她很喜歡詹姆以至於可以把他帶到牀上（或者牆上，或者地板上，或者布蘭·史塔克正在爬的塔），盧克雷齊婭·博爾賈爲人們所熟知的是她同樣表現出了和兄弟間比兄妹情更親密的關係。這稱之爲極端的兄妹戀。

Wall

5.長城

"What!? A giant wall of ice can't possibly have had any real place in history," you cry out. Ever heard of Hadrian's Wall? George R.R. Martin has, and has admitted in an interview that he based the Wall off of Scotland's very own. Martin said it himself, "I stood on Hadrian's Wall and tried to imagine what it would be like to be a Roman soldier sent here from Italy or Antioch. To stand here, to gaze off into the distance, not knowing what might emerge from the forest. Of course fantasy is the stuff of bright colors and being larger than real life, so my Wall is bigger and considerably longer and more magical. And, of course, what lies beyond it has to be more than just Scots." Next time you're in Scotland, be sure to check if there are wildlings about!

"什麼？一個巨大的冰牆在歷史上不可能有任何實際意義？"你大喊。聽過哈德良長城嗎？喬治·馬丁在一次採訪中承認他的創作是基於這座隔離英格蘭的牆。馬丁表示說："我站在哈德良長城上，試圖想象一個從意大利或者安提阿派遣過來的羅馬士兵將會是什麼樣子。站在這裏，凝視遠方，不知道會有什麼從森林裏出現。當然幻想的東西總是比現實生活更鮮麗龐大，所以我的長城要更大、更長、更魔幻。而且當然，躺在長城邊的將不僅僅是蘇格蘭人。"下一次當你在蘇格蘭時，一定要注意觀察長城邊是否有野人。

les Galore

4.戰火紛飛

The Battle of Blackwater Bay was filled with astounding cinematic effects, leaving viewers dazzled. In it, Tyrion of House Lannister (possibly the only Lannister that anyone is rooting for) makes use of wildfire, a chemical fire that ignites on water, to stave off the invaders. Those invaders just happened to be Stannis Baratheon's camp, brother to the late King Robert and the only one with a real legal claim to the throne. They also used a chain to cut through the naval fleet. A similar historical event is the Second Arab Siege of Constantinople, where Greek Fire was used similarly and the Great Chain of Constantinople featured an important role.

黑水灣一戰，震撼的電影特效讓觀衆頭暈目眩。水面上燃起熊熊磷火，來自蘭尼斯特家族的提利昂藉此阻卻了侵略者的進攻。然而，入侵者正是國王勞勃的二弟史坦尼斯·拜拉席恩，他纔是合法的皇位繼承人。入侵部隊以連環鎖鏈阻斷了海軍艦隊的進攻。歷史上 "希臘火"部隊在第二次君士坦丁堡之圍也採取了相同的戰術，這場戰役中君士坦丁堡巨鏈發揮了舉足輕重的作用。
