"The White Queen" was a good Series on at least part of the story. Agree that GOT is only very loosely inspired by War of the Roses, it's more about the general idea of Houses and a political and actual battle for the throne amongst multiple claimants. The Wall is based on Hadrians Wall but Hadrians is tiny by comparison.

Yeah it'd have to be very loosely. History is full of factions fighting for power. Hadrians wall would be the King Arthur reference, I guess. I dunno. It had nothing to do with war of the roses.
