The Night's Watch is loosely based on several militant Catholic organizations from the Middle Ages, such as the Knights Hospitallers and the Knights Templars. Both groups defended the faith and the Holy Land, its members usually joined for life after abandoning all their wealth and titles, and taking vows of poverty and chastity. Jon Snow's murder in Il trono di spade: Mother's Mercy (2015), in which he is stabbed by Alliser Thorne, Bowen Marsh, Othell Yarwyck, Olly and his other Watch brothers, was also strongly influenced by history, i.e. the assassination of Roman Emperor Julius Caesar who was stabbed to death by Roman Senators led by Marcus Junius Brutus and Gaius Cassius Longinus on March 15, 44 B.C. Especially the fact that Caesar's trusted friend Brutus was one of the killers is paralleled by John's protegee Olly delivering the final blow.
