Acclaimed by critics and adored by viewers, the epic fantasy drama series Game of Throne first premiered on HBO in 2011 and has one of the largest fandoms in the world.

Famous fans include the novelist Margaret Atwood, former Great British Bake Off present Sue Perkins and comedian Al Murray.

The television series is based on a series of fantasy novels by George RR Martin called A Song of Fire and Ice inspired by the treachery, intrigue, inter-dynastic conflict and bloodshed of Europe’s medieval kings and queens.

The Montegrappa pens are based on four of the houses in Game of Thrones: Baratheon, Lannister, Targaryen and Stark.

They are available from Jespers with the fountain pen costing £220 and the matching ballpoint pen £185.
