He became king and did a decent job, but died soon after of dysentery:

He was executed by firing squad in February 1920 outside Irkutsk.
How is it that nobody seems to know what A Song of Ice and Fire is based on even after GRRM admitted it?
>>1430768
This! If anyone else gets this he is talking about Alexander Kolchak, no?
Is a good comparison

I see Stannis as more of an Oliver Cromwell.
He never got a girl friend and had to seriously discuss topics anonymously with memespouters - forever
>>1430776
Because dragons and shit have nothing to do with the War of the Roses.
>>1430768
Great comparison.

Snoop is that you?

So what, are the white walkers scotts?
And when did the father of one house get executed by another causing a war? When did some redhead bitch get fucked and pooped out a shadow with the face of Stannis Baretheon?

Not really, one is the rightful king, the other executes the rightful king. King Robert was more like Cromwell, even if the personality doesn't fit:
>famed military commander
>took part in a rebellion against an unpopular king
>eventually became the new ruler due to his military victories
>incompetent heir who ruined his dynasty and paved the way for the restoration of the previous one
>>1430873
It's not based on the War of the Roses.
>>1430908
GRRM said that Robert is inspired by Edward IV. So I'm guessing Lord Hastings?
>>1430923
Robert in his personality is based on Robert d'Artois. The part about Robert d'Artois being an invicible literal giant though, GRRM turned into the separate character the Mountain, although the stories of young Robert fit the full bill.

Idiot

Part of it is (specifically what relates to the North), but all the characters outside of the North or Dorne (including Stannis) are very obviously based on The Accursed Kings.
