The way grrm combined so many themes of queenship, motherhood, tragedy, reputation, controversy and ambition from so many historical queens in creating Rhaenyra is honestly iconic 💅
#i'll make a more detailed post on this eventually HOWEVER
#I don't agree with the idea that Rhaenyra is an Empress Matilda rip off
#the idea of her being declared heir and her right usurped it's obviously taken from there
#but she has many traits from other different queens
#her execution for example - matilda was not executed
#that's obviously an anne boleyn mary queen of scots katherine howard jane grey etc. factor
#her motherhood and one of her sons being considered dead until he miraculously reappears
#it has elements borrowed from the rumours surrounding the princes in the tower and the pretenders that claimed to be them
#her secret marriage for love
#her first husband being murdered which cleared the path for her second marriage
#the rumours of bastardy surrounding her children
#her ambition and politicking
#and so many other things
#are a combination of various things that george clearly took from multiple queens from history
