Game of Thrones - Battles
Content
Of course, it goes without saying that this dataset contains spoilers 😉
This dataset is based on information from the book series.
Three great storylines weave through the books, charting the civil war for control of the Seven Kingdoms; the defence of the towering Wall of ice in the uttermost north against the unearthly threat of the Others; and across the Narrow Sea the rise to power of Daenerys Targaryen and the last live dragons in the world.
The battles.csv which contains Chris Albon's "The War of the Five Kings" Dataset. Its a great collection of all of the battles in the series.
