Maybe a victorious Jon Targaryen marrying Myrcella Lannister, had they not poisoned her.
Speaking of Myrcella, she disappeared like a fart in the wind. Did her parents even give a shit that she was murdered? I don't remember much wailing happening after Jamie returned.

I understand, but it isn't a direct echo. Like the formation the Boltons used at the end of the last episode was made famous by Hannibal. Even Aegon the Conqueror is an echo to William the Conqueror. I didn't mean to imply it is a fantasy retelling of an historical event, but that he uses historical events to give his fantasy world depth and familiarity.
