Another One

Okay so I'm gonna relate GoT again to one of Sophocles' dramas because it just works. More spoilers, whoops. So Cersei Lannister and Creon are both ignorant rulers. They do not consider the consequences of their actions before committing them. Cersei blows up the Sept of Baelor (it's like a church or whatever), killing Queen Margaery, her family and other unfortunate citizens of King's Landing. Cersei's plan was to rule alongside her son, Tommen, who was heartbroken by Margaery's death. Tommen could not live without Margaery or with the knowledge that her death was orchestrated by his own mother so the young king kills himself. Like Cersei, Creon indirectly kills his own kin in Sophocles' Antigone; because of Antigone's death, his own son Haemon commits suicide and in turn Creon's wife Eurydice follows. Both monarchs rule over the ashes of their loved ones.
