HOTD vs History: Murdering Family for Power

History of Westeros (Game of Thrones)

CHAPTER

Jacques Zulu

In the 1800s, Jacques Zulu was the king of the Zulu kingdom from 1816 to 1828. He achieves power by murdering his own brother,. Then a couple of his half brothers try to kill him. Eventually they will succeed in killing him. That's why I actually like the title Game of Thrones because it does feel like a game. It does feel like there's this weird game being played in the name of power that repeats itself over and over again.
