《權利的遊戲》裏的10件真實歷史事件(1)
Numerous fans wait with bated breath for the next season of HBO's hit series Game of Thrones. While the episodes are rife with drama and suspense, not many people know that several of the events they watch are real historical occurrences. If you thought history was a long and boring drag, think again!
新一季HBO熱播劇 《權力的遊戲》在粉絲望眼欲穿的期盼中與大家見面了。該劇懸念迭起，情節極富戲劇性，所以沒幾位觀衆瞭解這部劇中很多情節來自於真切發生過的歷史事件。知道真相的你，現在還會認爲歷史就像又長又臭的裹腳布嘛？rey Was Real!
10.喬佛裏真實存在！
Boy-king Joffrey Lannister Baratheon has inspired the hatred of all those who watch him. A bastard in more ways than one, his sadistic side has manifested time and again in each episode, at times leading to the death beloved characters like Eddard Stark. While Joffrey does remind us of the Queen of Hearts ("Off with her head!"), there's another real historical character a lot like him. Edward of Lancaster was the son of King Henry VI and Margaret of Anjou. He shared Joffrey's penchant for lopping off the heads of his enemies and was also rumoured to be of illegitimate birth. At 13 years old, conversations with Edward would be filed with "cutting off heads or making war" according to the Ambassador of Milan. We'd trade real-life dragons for real-life Joffrey any day!
少年國王喬佛裏·蘭尼斯特·拜拉席恩（Joffrey Lannister Baratheon）刻薄寡恩，驕橫跋扈，殘忍無情，着實令人生恨。喬佛裏是勞勃·拜拉席恩國王和瑟曦·蘭尼斯特王后的長子，也是家族繼承人，實際上他是瑟曦·蘭尼斯特與孿生弟弟詹姆·蘭尼斯特亂倫所生。他是個十足的施虐狂，平均每集都會直接或間接殺害一個大衆喜愛的角色，比如北境守護艾德·史塔克（Eddard Stark）。喬佛裏的所作所爲很容易會讓我們想起《愛麗斯夢遊仙境》中殘暴的紅心女王，但是你知道嗎？還有個真實存在的歷史人物和喬佛裏相似度很高哦。蘭開斯特的愛德華（Edward of Lancaster）是英國國王亨利六世（Henry VI）和安茹的瑪格麗特（Margaret of Anjou）的兒子。他和小說中的喬佛裏一樣喜歡砍掉敵人的頭顱，並且有傳言說他並非國王的親生兒子而是瑪格麗特與其他人的私生子。據米蘭的大使回憶，在愛德華13歲那年，與他的對話都是圍繞"砍頭或發動戰爭"進行的。
so was Theon
9.席恩也是這樣……
Speaking of characters unfortunate enough to have been based off of real people, Theon Greyjoy is one of them. George Plantagenet, brother to Edward IV of York who was a real life Robb Stark, also turned on his family during the famous War of the Roses. He defected to the Lancasters (sound familiar?) and when the Yorks won the war, he was killed. At the start of the HBO series, many had mixed feelings for the Stark ward. This mostly changed to pity when his manhood was taken away. Chopped off. All unately, his real life counterpart didn't have endure that and was merely drowned in wine as punishment for his treason..
說到由真人真事改編的不幸人物，就不得不提席恩·葛雷喬伊。現實生活中，和他相似的喬治·金雀花（George Plantagenet）是約克的愛德華四世（現實生活中的羅柏·史塔克）的弟弟。他和劇中的席恩一樣在著名的玫瑰戰爭中與家人和好。戰爭中，他投奔到了蘭開斯特家族（聽起來有沒有很熟悉呢？）。約克斯（Yorks）贏得戰爭後，他就被殺害了。HBO《權力的遊戲》系列電視劇剛開始的時候，許多人對史塔克的病房感慨萬千。當看到他的男性象徵被閹割時，觀衆大都感到十分遺憾。要知道史塔克的男性象徵被切得乾乾淨淨，一丁點也不剩！幸運的是，現實生活中他的原型（愛德華四世）並沒有遭受這一磨難，而對他叛逆的處罰，據說也只是被淹死在酒桶裏……Red Wedding
8.血色婚禮
The infamous scene dubbed "The Red Wedding" featured series favourite Robb Stark brutally murdered along with his mother, wife, and unborn child. All this was done at a feast in which they were the honoured guests, orchestrated by none other than the host himself, Argus Filch Walder Frey. The scene was based off of real events from history, namely the Black Dinner and the Glencoe Massacre. The former saw the execution of William and David Douglas (the Douglas clan were enemies of the boy-king of Scotland). The King invited them to a feast, supposedly to make peace. At the end of the feast, they were dragged into the courtyard and killed. The latter saw the Campbells also violating hospitality laws when they butchered every MacDonald clan member while they slept in their beds. To this day, Glencoe inns have "NO CAMPBELLS ALLOWED" signage. The North remembers!
被稱作"血色婚禮"的這個臭名昭著的場景，講述了全劇最受歡迎的人物之一羅柏·史塔克與其妻其母以及尚未出世的孩子一起被謀害的殘忍經過。 事件發生於一場婚宴上，史塔克一行作爲貴賓出席，整個謀殺經過即是宴會主人瓦德·佛雷一手策劃而爲。血色婚禮來源於"黑色晚餐"和"格倫科大屠殺"這兩個歷史典故。"黑色晚餐"事件中講述了威廉與大衛·道格拉斯被處決的慘狀。（道格拉斯氏族曾是蘇格蘭幼年國王的敵人）蘇格蘭國王表面上爲了促進和平而設宴並邀請道格拉斯氏族做客，但是到了晚宴結束時，道格拉斯一族被拉進城堡廣場就地處決。"格倫科大屠殺"事件裏坎貝爾氏族同樣也是違背了熱情好客的傳統，即他們在麥克唐納家族熟睡之時將其一一屠殺。直到今日，名爲格倫科的飯店都會做一幅寫有"無坎貝爾允許"字樣的標牌。尤其是北方人對這件事更加記憶猶新。審校:煙囪 編輯:Freya然
