I just watched Excalibur for the first time this weekend. I enjoyed it. Did GRRM get his idea for the Lannisters from this? The young blond soon to be king is mentally unstable and is adorned in impenetrable golden armor. His mother, an overbearing blond haired woman who "played a game of sorts" with Merlin mated with her [half] brother? I know people have given other interpretations of gold being the color of the Lannisters but to me, it follows closely this deranged part of Arthur's family tree in Excalibur.
Did George pull from this film or are the similarities coincidence?
