Robert’s Rebellion: It’s the war in Game Of Thrones talked about so much; a battle that took place before the series started but had a lasting impact on all of the characters. And when you hear about it, you know exactly why. The Rebellion set up all the relationships we know today, and the things that happened during that war are truly unspeakably awful. It’s also the war that ended the Targaryen’s reign on the Iron Throne and sparked the war happening right now for it. But, as always, the book packs in a lot of details that the show just couldn’t manage to.
