History

During the reign of Aenys I Targaryen, Savage Sam Tarly was among the marcher lords who participated in the Vulture Hunt.[5]

In 49 AC, Lord Tarly was present at King's Landing for the wedding of Alyssa Velaryon and Rogar Baratheon.[6]

Lord Alan Tarly declared for Princess Rhaenyra Targaryen and the blacks during the Dance of the Dragons, fighting and being taken captive in the battle on the Honeywine.[7]

During Robert's Rebellion, Lord Randyll Tarly commanded the vanguard of the Reach at the Battle of Ashford, where he killed Lord Cafferen and forced Lord Robert Baratheon to retreat. Randyll's liege, Lord Mace Tyrell, took credit for the victory, however.[8]
