Game Of Thrones Wallpapers Biography
George R. R. Martin love him for his rollicking fantasy series that began with 1996's A Game of Thrones,but they became cross with him after it took six years for him to finish the fifth book (out of a projected seven). Martin has been writing fantasy stories since he was a kid, and while he was earning his undergraduate and graduate degrees in journalism from Northwestern University (1970, 1971) he was also busy writing short stories and fiction for comic fanzines. He was first published in the early 1970s, and by the end of the decade was writing full time. Martin worked as a television story editor and producer during the 1980s, including on the 1986 version of The Twilight Zone and 1987's Beauty and the Beast. He was also publishing fantasy novels like Fevre Dream (1982) and Dead Man's Hand (1990), but he didn't have a big hit until A Game of Thrones, the first of a planned seven book series called A Song of Ice and Fire. Although not an immediate success, the book eventually gained a huge following and has since sold millions of copies. After Thrones, the sequels A Clash of Kings and A Storm of Swords were published with relative speed, in 1999 and 2000, respectively. For A Feast of Crows, Martin's fans furrowed their brows and waited until 2005. As the years passed, Martin's progress on the fifth book, A Dance With Dragons, slowed. Fans began to gnash their teeth and publicly complain in internet forums and specially created fan sites, cursing Martin while praising his work. The announcement of the 2011 publication of A Dance With Dragons was welcome news for readers, as was the 2011 cable television production of A Game of ThronesBastard Son of Lord Eddard Stark by an unknown mother.

Jon does not know the identity of his mother and Lord Eddard has refused to admit her name to anyone, though he told King Robert Baratheon that her name was Wylla, a servant in the employ of House Dayne of Dorne. Rumors persist that he might be the son of the late Lady Ashara Dayne. Eddard always treated Jon the same as his natural born sons, but Eddard's wife Catelyn has always resented him and treated him with disdain.

After Lord Eddard left of King's Landing, Jon decides to join the Night's Watch and take up the black.
For half a century, fantasy has essentially been a series of footnotes to Tolkien. Until George R.R. Martin, that is. Martin's epic A Song of Ice and Fire series -- now five novels and counting, with the first two dramatized by David Benioff and D.B. Weiss on HBO as Game of Thrones -- ventures boldly outside the Tolkien box and has revitalized the entire genre in the process. Gone are hobbits, elves, orcs, non-human dwarves, ents, balrogs, and most magical items (although not all magic or magical creatures). Gone too are the Manichaean simplicities of a world in which most characters can be quickly identified as good or evil. Martin's saga has few one-dimensional heroes but many fully fleshed out people.

A Song of Ice and Fire is set in a world modeled after medieval England, and many claim that the series' genius and popularity stems from its accurate and sensitive portrayal of medieval life. Millions of readers and viewers have formed a passionate bond with Martin's creation, this argument runs, precisely because it is not simply made up but, rather, rooted in actual human experience. Martin himself has encouraged this line of thinking, claiming he reads "everything I can get my hands on" about medieval history and even including a bibliography on his Web site for those interested in his source materials. But is the argument correct? Just how realistic is A Song of Ice and Fire?

The short answer is "not very." Before hordes of angry fans launch their trebuchets in my direction, however, let me hasten to add that this is a good thing, not a bad one. As a historian of the period, I can assure you that the real Middle Ages were very boring -- and if Martin's epic were truly historically accurate, it would be very boring too. I'm glad Martin takes all the liberties he does, because I prefer my literature exciting. Medieval people did also, which is why their own most popular literary creations were nearly as fantastic as Martin's...
he Targeryon Kings subdued all 7 Kingdoms (From the Stark Kingdom in the North to the Kingdom of Dorne in the south) Ruling for roughly 300 years.
When the Targeryons first came to Westeros they rode three dragons. After time the last living Dragon died off.
Since the practice of Targeryons is too often intermarry and many of them over the years were mad. There were a series of mad kings, but also some great ones.

Events Pertinent to the Storyline of game of Thrones

Before Roberts Rebellion

A great uncle to Mad King Aegon, "took the black" and went to the wall to ensure that he would not be used as a pawn to disrupt his younger brothers rule. He is an old man still alive at "the Wall" :Maester Aemon
Aegon Targeyon is made King and rules Peacefully for many years with Tywin Lannister as his Hand
Aegon begins to slip into more arrogance and madness. He spurns Tywin Lannisters offer of his daughter Cersei to marry Rhaegar and instead has Rhaegar marry Princess Elia of Dorne.
Rheagar begins to think that either he or his son is the "Prince who is promised" who shall fight the oncoming darkness.
Jaime Lannister is Knighted at a very young age and shows promise to be one of the great Knight in history.
A very young Petyr Baelish is in love with Catelyn Tully. He argues with and tries to duel older and stronger Brandon Stark, who is engaged to Catelyn. Brandon lets him live, but embarrasses him.

Tourney At Harrenhal:A simple Tourney has great impact on future events.

Young Jaime Lannister is in love with his sister. He joins the Kings guard for a chance to be with her in Kings Landing and also for the chance to gain glory as a Knight. He gets neither. His father resigns as "hand" and leaves Kings Landing when he is accepted. As well as disowning Jamie.
At the greatest tournament in "living history" Jaime is not allowed to compete by Kings orders.
Eddard Stark is the second of three sons at this point. His older brother is said to "have the wolf" in him. In other words, he is a little wild, as is his sister Lyanna and as his daughter Arya will be.
Rheagar seems like an honorable Prince, and he is certainly skillful. He wins the tournament, but rather than presenting the crown of "Queen of Love and Beauty" to his wife as expected, he creates a huge stir by presenting it to Lyanna Stark, who is betrothed to Robert Baratheon.

Madness of the King Quite a few events show the King slowly devolving into madness.

He had Illyn Paynes tongue ripped out as one early example.
Rhaegar Targeryon -may- have kidnapped Lyanna Stark. (the answer to whether he did or not always revolves around who is talking) There is evidence that he also may have been partially unjustly accused of this. This action, - in typical Romeo and Juliet-fashion- leads to all the future bloodshed and death.
Brandon Stark (Neds older brother) rides into Kings landing with 6 of his friends and demand justice from the king. The King then orders all the fathers of these young noblemen to come to Kings Landing to "parole" their children. He then brutally murders the fathers and the boys.

Robert's Rebellion

Mad King Aegon then sends a summons out to Jon Arryn (one of the powerful lords of the land) to send the two boys he has been "fostering," Eddard Stark and Robert Baratheon (the fiancé and brother of missing Lyanna) to come to King's landing. Presumably to their deaths.
Baratheon, Arryan and Stark instead rise in rebellion.
Ned Stark marries Catelyn Tully, who had been engaged to his brother Brandon, to secure the help of the powerful Tully Lords in the rebellion. This makes 4 of the 7 kingdoms in rebellion. With the most powerful, the Lannisters, sitting out completely.
There are many battles such as the, "Battle of the Bells" where Stark and Baratheon personal skill allows them to gain power and create unexpected victories.
Finally there is a showdown at the Battle of the Trident. Forces led by Robert battle forces led by Prince Rhaeger. Before the battle Rhaegar acknowledges that, "things have gone too far" and he will have to do something about his father and his madness once the rebellion is crushed.
Rheager is killed in the battle of the Trident by Robert.
Back at King's Landing, the mad King has enough "wildfire" placed under his city to burn it (and everyone in it) in to the ground. He orders all his kingsgaurd to battle, but keeps only young Jaime (about 15 at this time) behind. Tywin Lannister finally breaks his neutrality now that Roberts rebellion is sure to succeed and marches on Kings landing. The king is at first convinced that Tywin is coming to help him. Realizing (too late) that Tywin has joined the rebellion now that the outcome is clear the king orders the city and everone in it put to death by se of the wildfire. Jaime kills the man given the orders to burns the city down and then kills the King.
It is essential to his character that he is given the nickname the "Kingslayer" by Stark and reviled for what he says is the "greatest thing he ever did"

The (Bloody) Aftermath

Many of the Kingsguard are still in the field protecting Prince Rheagars family. They are defeated by Stark. Who manages (with help) to kill the greates knight ever, who also happens to be the brother of the woman Ned Stark loves, Azhara Dayne. Only Ned and his friend Howland Reed survive the encounter to find out that Lyanna is dieing.
Meanwhile much of the "mopping up" of the family of Rhaegar is undertaken by men in service to the Lannisters. Who go way far and murder all of Rhaegars family even the babies.
Rhaegars younger brother Viserys, a loyal knight and the Queen (pregnant with Daenarys) manage to escape across the sea.
Robert becomes King and marries Cersei Lannister to gain the support of the powerful Lannister family and avoid another civil war.
Ned Stark returns home to the wife he doesn't really know with a young bastard child.
Jon Arryn becomes "Hand of the King" until he dies at the very start of the first book.
