House Reyne was a noble house from the Westerlands. It was once the richest and most powerfull Westerland house after the Lannisters.

During the reign of Tytos Lannister the Lord of House Reyne rebelled against his overlord together with the Tarbecks of Tarbeck Hall. The Lord of House Reyne was an experienced warrior while lord Tytos was rather weak so it appeared that their rebellion could be succesful. In the end Tytos young son and heir Tywin Lannister held the command of the Lannister army. Tywin besieged the castles and destroyed the rebels. After the rebellion the seats of the rebels were broken and booth houses were completely exterminated.

It is not known if the rebels died in acts of war or that they were executed.

[edit] The Rains of Castamere

After the end of the rebellion the song The Rains of Castamere was made about the rebellion. The refrein goes:

And who are you, the proud lord said,

that I must bow so low?

Only a cat of a different coat,

that's all the truth I know.

In a coat of gold or a coat of red,

a lion still has claws,

And mine are long and sharp, my lord,

as long and sharp as yours.

And so he spoke, and so he spoke,

that lord of Castamere,

But now the rains weep o'er his hall,

with no one there to hear.

Yes now the rains weep o'er his hall,

and not a soul to hear.
