- Abstract: This paper discusses George R. R. Martin’s literary saga, A Song of Ice and Fire, and its now famous adaptation as a TV show, Game of Thrones. Critics have been keen to underline the “realism” of these cycles; but the authors of the present study seek to re-examine what kind of real is being represented and re-created here. Which Middle Ages are we talking about? Far from being a unified historical block, the Middle Ages are a rich and complex period, marked by many evolutions. The world created by Martin thus merits close analysis : which elements are being used or left out, and which play a crucial or marginal role in the story? Such questions will allow us to gain a better understanding of how Middle Ages are represented today.
