Joan, Countess of Kent (29 September 1326/7 – 7 August 1385), known to history as The Fair Maid of Kent, was the mother of King Richard II of England, her son by her third husband, Edward the Black Prince, son and heir apparent of King Edward III. Although the French chronicler Jean Froissart called her "the most beautiful woman in all the realm of England, and the most loving", the appellation "Fair Maid of Kent" does not appear to be contemporary. Joan inherited the titles 4th Countess of Kent and 5th Baroness Wake of Liddell after the death of her brother John, 3rd Earl of Kent, in 1352. Joan was made a Lady of the Garter in 1378.

Been reading up on The Anarchy as a supplement to my sporadic re-read of Fire & Blood, and IMO the parallels here are much clearer and more direct than those between ASOIAF and the War of the Roses.

(Spoilers for HotD and F&B under the cut)

Rhaenyra is pretty obviously Empress Matilda, though her ending is much sadder than her real-life counterpart's. Matilda actually outlived the relative who usurped her throne, and saw her son ascend as Henry II of England.

Henry I is King Viserys, who appointed his daughter as his heir. Matilda's cousin Stephen of Blois usurped her throne and is the clear parallel to Aegon the Elder.

As far as I can tell, William of Ypres is the real-life inspiration for Criston Cole as Stephen's military leader, Waleran de Beaumont is the inspiration for Otto Hightower as the treacherous, grasping noble who became Stephen's main advisor, and Stephen's brother Henry of Winchester is the inspiration for Aemond. Matilda's first husband is likely the inspiration for Laenor.

Daemon and Alicent are more complicated, as I believe they are based on several prominent historical figures of the time.

For Daemon, he appears to be inspired by both Geoffrey of Anjou, Matilda's second husband and Henry II's father, and Matilda's uncle, David I of Scotland (who also somewhat inspired Lord Corlys). Both were supporters of her claim, along with her half brother Robert of Gloucester, who seems to be the inspiration for Rhaenys (though his claim was denied in favor of Henry I because he was a bastard, as opposed to Rhaenys whose claim was denied because she was a woman). Like Daemon, Geoffrey died toward the end of the war.

Alicent's inspiration is complicated in a different way. She seems to have been inspired by two very opposing figures in history, two women who shared the same name.

The first is Adela (or Adeliza) of Louvain, Henry I's second wife and Matilda's stepmother. Adela of Louvain married Henry I after his first wife, Matilda's mother, died. She was only 18, and Henry was over 30 years her senior. She was actually one year younger than Matilda herself.

Adela actually supported Matilda's claim and even defied her second husband to do so. Though she apparently betrayed Matilda later (probably out of fear) when Stephen besieged her castle, she also bargained with him to secure Matilda's safe departure. Ultimately, it's easy to imagine her as the inspiration for the show's framing of Alicent and Rhaenyra as close friends.

The other likely inspiration for Alicent is Adela of Normandy, Stephen the usurper's mother. She supported her son's siezure of the throne. She was known to be extremely pious, echoing the way Alicent clings to the Faith of the Seven. She was actually made a saint after her death. Her husband, Count Stephen II of Blois, may have been the inspiration for some of Viserys's characterization as well.

Matilda and Geoffrey's son, Henry II, is of course the inspiration for Aegon III.

Favorite History Books || Philippa of Hainault: Mother of the English Nation by Kathryn Warner ★★★★☆

Edward III, king of England, was fifteen years old at the time of his wedding in York on 24 or 25 January 1328, and Philippa of Hainault, his bride, was perhaps fifteen months or so younger and, according to one chronicler, about to turn fourteen. Although their marriage was to endure for more than four decades and would prove to be a most happy and successful one that produced a dozen children, it could hardly have begun in a more unromantic fashion. Edward’s mother Queen Isabella had arranged her son’s marriage with Philippa’s father Willem, count of Hainault in 1326 so that he would provide ships and mercenaries for her to invade her husband Edward II’s kingdom in order to bring down the man she loathed above all others, Edward II’s adored chamberlain and perhaps lover Hugh Despenser the Younger. Just a month before his wedding to Philippa, Edward III had attended the funeral of his deposed, disgraced and possibly murdered father, the former king, at St Peter’s Abbey in Gloucestershire. Whether intentionally or not, Edward III and Philippa of Hainault married on his parents’ twentieth wedding anniversary, and on the first anniversary of the young Edward’s reign as king of England. Philippa of Hainault accompanied her husband abroad on many of his military and diplomatic missions; the couple hated to be apart for long and spent as much time together as they possibly could. Despite Philippa’s decades-long marriage to one of medieval England’s most famous and successful kings, there has only ever been one full-length biography of her, published by Blanche Christabel Hardy in 1910 and titled Philippa of Hainault and Her Times. In addition, two chapters in Agnes Strickland’s nineteenth-century work The Lives of the Queens of England cover the basics of Philippa’s life, and Lisa Benz St John’s 2012 book Three Medieval Queens examines the lives of Philippa and her two predecessors as queen of England.

Joan, Lady of Wales and Lady of Snowdon, also known by her Welsh name often written as Siwan (said, approximately /sɪuːan/) (c. 1191/92 – February 1237) was the illegitimate daughter of King John of England, and was the wife of Llywelyn the Great, Prince of Wales (initially King of Gwynedd), effective ruler of all of Wales.
