Love “Game of Thrones?” Excited for the new season? Begin your Saturday by coming to the Conway Public Library at Saturday, Aug. 19, at 10:30 a.m. to celebrate and hear about the inspiration for the wars of Westeros.
Henry VI, a well-meaning but misguided king, sits on the throne of England. He is manipulated by his family and council who seek to further their own agendas. Rival nobles are overlooked for positions and sent on missions that are political exile in all but name. After enduring years of inept rule and the loss of French territories, the nobility of England split into a tangled web of political alliances favoring one of two royal houses- Lancaster or York. As the historical inspiration behind Game of Thrones, the Wars of the Roses drag England into the early modern era through vicious and bloody dynastic conflict.
