10 Game Of Thrones Moments Ripped Off From History

6. Daenerys Is Henry VII

However despicable Daenerys' brother Viserys was, he was in line to take the Iron Throne before Robert's Rebellion took place, casting him and Daenerys across the Narrow Sea into exile, though after 'receiving his golden crown' Daenerys stepped up to becoming the contender for the throne. Henry VII shares a similar story. His father Henry VI was conquered in the Tower Of London, leading to the young Henry VII fleeing across the English Channel to France where he bided his time. He was the rightful heir to the throne, but had to wait for his chance to cross the sea and take the crown. Both Henry and Daenerys used dragons as their emblem, but will Dany succeed like Henry once did?
