Help me pick an EPQ topic!

To all,

I'm seriously interested in doing the EPQ, and I'm all prepared to go ahead and d it, but the problem is that I can't decide which topic to do it on.

I've narrowed it down to 3/4:
- historical accuracy of Pirates of the Caribbean
- Historical accuracy of major Game of Thrones battles - Blackwater, Castle Black, S6 Winterfell etc.
- Infamous women in history who changed the world.

You can probably tell that I'm more history based with my choices; now which one would you pick out of the ones above - or do you have other suggestions?

I think that infamous women would be easy, because you have Boudicca to look at.

That's what I was thinking - I've been looking at the rejected princesses website for ideas - there's loads of suggestions on there, and I've been thinking using it for a way to gather a variety of cultures etc. into the study.

First one has only the movies (as far as I know?) to study, the third one is too broad.

For game of thrones you can look at both the series and the books which gives you enough resources to do a detailed but concise essay. Feel like it would be easiest to gain top marks with this topic.

The infamous women may be a ridiculously wide range, but there have been infamous women throughout history, so would be the easiest to do. That's what I would do if I did EPQ. Actually, I might do that for my second year of A levels.

The GoT's one seems really interesting as you could analyse the battle itself as well as the evens leading up to the battle (as well as the aftermath).
