The Order of the Maesters is one of the most mysterious and intriguing groups in Westeros. In this presentation, the Maesters and their various political, educational, and research practices will be compared and contrasted with a handful of their real-world counterparts, including monks of the middle ages, modern scientific and medical researchers, and elite educators from throughout the ages. Get ready for a historical and educational analysis that is going to be off the chain.
