===Recent History=== [[File:Thaldir Tywin Lannister.jpg|thumb|Tywin, by Tiziano Baracchi Β© Fantasy Flight Games]] After [[Robert's Rebellion]], Lord Tywin returned to [[Casterly Rock]], where he continued to serve as [[Warden of the West]]. At the [[wedding of Robert I Baratheon and Cersei Lannister]], the new king appointed Ser [[Ilyn Payne]] as the [[King's Justice]] as a gift for Tywin.{{ref|AFFC|27}} When Tywin discovered his son [[Tyrion Lannister|Tyrion]] had wed a common girl, [[Tysha]], which in Tywin's eyes would make [[House Lannister]] a laughingstock again, Tywin taught him a sharp lesson. He commanded Tyrion's older brother, Ser [[Jaime Lannister|Jaime]], to name Tysha a [[prostitute]] and made Tyrion watch as Tywin gave her over to [[House Lannister guards|his garrison]], having each man pay the girl a silver coin after raping her. He forced Tyrion to do the same but pay Tysha a gold coin.{{Ref|AGOT|42}} Tywin earned the enmity of his son forever for that act, but Tywin did not care, for it was on his other children that he placed all his hopes.{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Targaryen Kings: Aerys II}} When Tyrion was turning sixteen, Tywin refused to allow him to travel and see the world as Tywin's brothers had in their youth, fearing Tyrion would bring further shame on House Lannister. Tywin instead put his son in charge of the drains and cisterns of [[Casterly Rock]].{{Ref|ADWD|8}} In {{Date|289}}, [[Balon Greyjoy]], [[Lord of the Iron Islands]], began [[Greyjoy's Rebellion]] against King [[Robert I Baratheon]] through the [[burning of the Lannister fleet]] anchored at [[Lannisport]].{{Ref|AFFC|18}} After the defeat of the Greyjoys, Tywin rebuilt the [[Lannister fleet]]<ref>[[So Spake Martin]]: [https://www.westeros.org/Citadel/SSM/Entry/The_Lannister_Fleet The Lannister Fleet], September 26, 1999</ref> and hosted another [[tourney at Lannisport]].{{Ref|ACOK|12}} Tywin sent men in search of [[Gerion Lannister]] after his brother disappeared, but the ''[[Laughing Lion]]'' was not found.{{Ref|ADWD|33}} Due to Robert's financial mismanagement of the realm, as well as his own new connection to the throne by marriage, Lord Tywin frequently lent money to the crown, placing the court in King's Landing in debt of over three million [[Currency|gold dragons]] to House Lannister.{{Ref|AGOT|20}} Tywin was unsuccessful in three attempts to purchase [[Valyrian steel]] longswords from impoverished lesser houses.{{Ref|ASOS|32}} Tywin hosted a tourney in {{date|295}},{{ref|AGOT|35}} and he brought a retinue to King's Landing for the [[tourney on Prince Joffrey's name day]] in {{date|298}}.{{Ref|AGOT|25}}
