In a Song of Ice and Fire, no one and no place is safe.... not even the dinner table. Many a time in this series banquets have turned into battles and bloodbaths. The Red Wedding. The Purple Wedding. "Arya's" wedding in the north. Moments of merriment can end in murder. For this video, we will explore those moments of chaos and compare them to events from own our real history. Martin has plucked from real history horrific tales to inspire his fantasy series. If you think this imagination is dark... truth is stranger than fiction.

Here are, I present: Three Dangerous Meals of Ice and Fire (and the Historical Events That Inspired Them) | ASOIAF
