What Time Period Is Game Of Thrones Set In

I think when the story starts it takes place in 299 ac 299 years after aegon s conquest.

The age of heroes begins with the sealing of the pact. The child actors in the tv series however still age at a normal rate during production so in order to keep consistent the tv series generally follows the rule that one tv season equals one year in the storyline. In the book chronology roughly two years pass between the beginning of a game of thrones and the end of the third novel a storm of swords. However the show is set in its own alternate universe and does not correlate with time as we know it.

Game of thrones is set in the fantasy realm of westeros which is modelled after the united kingdom and ireland as a whole. A lot of the story parallels events in european history but it wasn t meant to be a fictional history of our world. Less than a full year actually passes in each novel. It was set during the time of middle ages probably the late era prior to the beginning of the renaissance.
