A Game of Thrones is about within the Seven Kingdoms of Westeros, a land paying homage to Medieval Europe. In Westeros the seasons last for years, typically decades, at a time.
Fifteen years before the novel, the Seven Kingdoms were torn apart by a warfare, identified alternately as "Robert's Rebellion" and also the "War of the wrongdoer." blue blood Rhaegar Targaryen abducted Lyanna Stark, arousing the ire of her family and of her betrothed, Lord Henry Martyn Robert Baratheon (the war's titular rebel). The Mad King, Aerys II Targaryen, had Lyanna's father and eldest brother dead once they demanded her safe come back. Her second brother, Eddard, joined his childhood friend Henry Martyn Robert Baratheon and Jon Arryn, with whom they'd been fostered as kids, in declaring war against the ruling Targaryen folk, securing the allegiances of House Tully and House Arryn through a network of phratry marriages (Lord Eddard to Catelyn Tully and Lord Arryn to Lysa Tully). The powerful House Tyrell continued to support the King, however House Lannister and House Martell each stalled thanks to insults against their homes by the Targaryens. The warfare climaxed with the Battle of the shaft, once blue blood Rhaegar was killed in battle by Henry Martyn Robert Baratheon. The Lannisters finally in agreement to support King Aerys, then again savagely turned against him, sacking the capital at King's Landing. Jaime Lannister of the Kingsguard betrayed and dead King Aerys and House Lannister swore loyalty to Henry Martyn Robert Baratheon. The Tyrells and remaining royalists relinquished and Henry Martyn Robert Baratheon was declared King of the Seven Kingdoms. sadly, throughout the war, Lyanna Stark had died, apparently of ill health shortly when her brother captured the fort wherever she'd been control captive; Henry Martyn Robert Baratheon instead married Cersei Lannister to cement the alliance along with her House. Despite Robert's ending, the Mad King's younger son Viserys and solely girl Daenerys were taken to safety across the ocean by loyal retainers. when the war House Martell selected a path of isolation, since blue blood Doran's sister Elia Martell (Prince Rhaegar's wife) and her young kids had been killed by knights sworn to deal with Lannister throughout the storming of the capital.
Six years later, King Henry Martyn Robert tested his resolve by defeating a rebellion by Lord Balon Greyjoy of the Iron Islands. Balon's 2 eldest sons were killed and his youngest son, Theon, was given to the care of Eddard Stark as a ward.
