I forgot about the website, but I was going to suggest photocopying a library book like Susan mentioned.

In my copy (paperback) of GofT there's a list of all the families/houses at the back - a good example of the book being better than a Kindle! Although I am surprised that the Kindle doesn't have a glossary. Mind you I still find it quite confusing as there are so many characters, although quite a lot of them aren't in the first book anyway.
I thought GofT was more Shakespearean in it's scope, with it's feuding families, but I can see some parallels with the Wars of the Roses. It definitely has a mediaeval feel to it.

I've just check on my Kindle and there is a list of characters at the back. I don't know whether your ebook has, Susan, but if it has, perhaps you could bookmark it?

Yes, Vanessa, the list is in my ebook. I had looked at all the things in the beginning, but not at the end. It's just what I was looking for and it was under my nose (my thumb?) all the time. I've bookmarked it. Thank you!
