Linked below is a great article on the historical influence on Ned & Jaime's meeting in the streets--coming from the beginnings of the Armagnac-Burgundian War--a French Civil War that took place during the Hundred Years War, when the Armagnac Wolf faced off against the Burgundian Lion. Specifically the article focuses on the Assassination of Louis of Orleans, which was done in response to the abduction of the Dauphin.
It is part of a series where the blogger marks the similarities between the Stark-Lannister conflict from French history in addition to the English history mashups already mentioned.
