Someone (don’t remember who sorry) on @RadioWesteros’s stream mentioned how Stannis’ arc is a parallel to the Swedish King Charles (Karl) XII so now I’ll have to freshen up my 5th grade history knowledge... https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_XII_of_Sweden

The only thing I remember was him losing a war (or several maybe) and generally thinking he sucked. And that Charles XI was better.

Okay I can see this... Stannis people and/or history people, you should get on this.

Especially the part where he’s at first successful in Russia despite being outnumbered, but then having to flee after a defeat, then coming back from one last fight/siege and dying.

Also being a great military commander and refusing to giving up a (according to him) just war.

Apparently not very sexual either... to the degree that it’s been speculated if he was gay...

(Also why do people keep digging up dead royals to see if they were “hermaphrodites”?! )
