Cersei distrusts him because Tyrion appointed him. The one Tyrion appoints in his stead is less corrupt but is ineffectual and doesnвЂ™t make any waves. The two previous High Septons weвЂ™ve seen, the first was very corrupt in his own way, and he was torn apart by the mob during the food riots. ThatвЂ™s what youвЂ™re seeing here in Westeros. But you also had periods of religious revival or reform-the greatest of them being the Protestant Reformation, which led to the splitting of the church-where there were two or three rival popes each denouncing the other as legitimate. They were playing their own version of the game of thrones, and they were in bed with the kings and the lords. People who were not spiritual, but were politicians. вЂњIf you look at the history of the church in the Middle Ages, you had periods where you had very worldly and corrupt popes and bishops. вЂњThe Sparrows are my version of the medieval Catholic Church, with its own fantasy twist,вЂќ Martin told EW. He is lining them up with the fire people Cersei, then Aegon, then ultimately Daenerys.

This is what Martin is doing with the (maybe slightly underdeveloped) Faith of the Seven-Catholic aspect.

Revelation 2:18- вЂњAnd to the angel of the church in Thyatira write: The Son of God, who has eyes like a flame of fire, and His feet are like burnished bronzeвЂ¦вЂќ.

As noted on the main page, GRRM has no qualms when it comes to saving and reworking his own world-building themes. This post is just a short one that shows the links between the Steel Angels (Catholics of his earlier works) and the Daenerys/new Andal alliance and how it is being rewritten for the current plot line in the upcoming books in the A Song of Ice in Fire series, The Winds of Winter and/or A Dream of Spring.

In the meantime, I will update along the way. I cannot add every story-to-story comparison quote here in the body of this page, so I am hoping to see contrubuting notes in the the comments section.

Quickie reminder: I openly discuss everything in Martinworld wherever needed, and I hope you do too! This includes story details, behind the scenes info, and interviews with George R.R. Like each book club story on this blog, the reading and commenting is done at your own pace.

Hellooo and welcome to the book club re-read section of this blog. Up here in her garden Dany sometimes felt like a god, living atop the highest mountain in the world.Дo all gods feel so lonely? Some must, surelyвЂ¦ And beyond the walls was the pewter sea, the winding Skahazadhan, the dry brown hills, burnt orchards, and blackened fields. From here she could see the whole city: the narrow twisty alleys and wide brick streets, the temples and granaries, hovels and palaces, brothels and baths, gardens and fountains, the great red circles of the fighting pits. Meereen had a score of lesser pyramids, but none stood even half as tall. Dany broke her fast under the persimmon tree that grew in the terrace garden, watching her dragons chase each other about the apex of the Great Pyramid where the huge bronze harpy once stood.
