Another interesting note is that Valyrian steel swords seem to have been inspired by ancient Damascus Steel swords.– AegonCommented May 23, 2016 at 9:50

Daenerys has a few similarities with King Abdul-Rahman I of Andalusia who was a child when his dynasty's Empire (Umayyad Empire) was destroyed in a rebellion and all members of Imperial house were slaughtered. Except Two kids, the brothers Prince Abdul Rahman and Prince Yahya. Later, Yahya got killed and Abdul Rahman kept running to West (Dany keeps going to East tho) until he came to Andalusia (Spain) and reestablished his Dynasty there like Dany conquers Meereen. He never was able to go back to East despite that being his deepest desire. Hope Dany does not meet the same fate.– AegonCommented May 23, 2016 at 9:52

And of course, The Dothraki are obviously inspired from Great Mongol hordes i.e. The Golden Horde, The Illkhanate and Chagatai Khanate.– AegonCommented May 23, 2016 at 9:54

Also the Huns may be another source of inspiration for the Dothraki.– lukas84Commented May 30, 2019 at 10:50

A tag is a keyword or label that categorizes your question with other, similar questions. Choose one or more (up to 5) tags that will help answerers to find and interpret your question.
Type the name of the science fictional or fantastical work your question is about (Example:
star-wars).For questions not specific to any one work, use concept tags to describe your question (Example:
story-identification).Tagging rules:
- complete the sentence: my question is about...
- use tags that describe things or concepts that are essential, not incidental to your question
- favor using existing popular tags
- read the descriptions that appear below the tag
If your question is primarily about a topic for which you can't find a tag:
- combine multiple words into single-words with hyphens (e.g. story-identification), up to a maximum of 35 characters
- creating new tags is a privilege; if you can't yet create a tag you need, then post this question without it, then ask the community to create it for you
