JELLY BELLY. ♥ Thank you.

Actually, I think ASOIAF is very loosely based on the War of the Roses, which is what Sunne in Splendour covers. Book!Elizabeth is very like Cersei in a lot of ways, but not quite as raging insane/cruel -- and without the incest bit. Unlike Cersei, I grew to understand her, at least. :)

Jade Empire is pretty cool. Check it out; I think you'd have fun.
