The final two seasons of the series, which focus on Daenerys Targaryen's war for Westeros against Cersei Lannister, loosely resembles the culmination of the War of the Roses fought in England in the fifteenth century. Daenerys crosses the Narrow Sea to take back the Iron Throne with an army of Unsullied and Dothraki, as well as Tyrell, Martell, and Ironborn allies, similar to Henry Tudor's conquest of England in 1485, who, after being exiled to France for twenty years by Edward IV, crossed the narrow English Channel with a French and Scottish army bolstered with Welsh and English defectors to take back the English throne from Edward's brother, King Richard III. Henry's banner also sported a dragon. Cersei's ascension to the Iron Throne following the suicide of her son Tommen, whom she had acted as regent for, bears several similarities to the ascension of Richard III who claimed the English throne after the mysterious disappearance of his nephew, the 12-year-old King Edward V, whom Richard had been acting as regent for. Henry Tudor succeeded in deposing Richard, who died in battle, similar to Cersei who died during Daenerys' assault on the Red Keep.
