Most people credit the "arm and train the peasants" story as originating in modern pop culture with "The Seven Samurai". There's a million stories like that long before Game of Thrones did it. It's become a storytelling trope. Hell I think they even cribbed it into Star Wars before with a Clone Wars episode!
