'''Jason Lannister''' was the [[Lord of Casterly Rock]], the [[Shield of Lannisport]], the [[Warden of the West]], and the head of [[House Lannister]] during the reigns of kings [[Viserys I Targaryen|Viserys I]] and [[Aegon II Targaryen]]. He was the older twin of Ser [[Tyland Lannister]].{{Ref|TPATQ}}

In the television adaptation ''[[House of the Dragon]]'', Jason is portrayed by [[w:Jefferson Hall (actor)|Jefferson Hall]].<ref>HBO.com: [https://www.hbo.com/house-of-the-dragon/cast-and-characters House of the Dragon Cast & Characters]</ref>

==Appearance and Character==
Jason was tall, golden-haired, and dashing, like his twin brother Ser [[Tyland Lannister|Tyland]].{{Ref|FAB|Under the Regents - The Hooded Hand}}

==History==
When Princess [[Rhaenyra Targaryen]] visited the [[westerlands]] in {{Date|112}}, Ser Jason and his younger twin, Ser [[Tyland Lannister|Tyland]], vied for the hand of the princess during a feast at [[Casterly Rock]].{{Ref|FAB|Heirs of the Dragon - A Question of Succession}} Both the twins showered her with gifts without success.{{Ref|FAB|Heirs of the Dragon - A Question of Succession}}{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Targaryen Kings: Viserys I}}

When the [[Dance of the Dragons]] began in {{Date|129}}, Ser Tyland served as [[master of coin]] to King [[Aegon II Targaryen]].{{Ref|FAB|The Dying of the Dragons - The Blacks and the Greens}} His brother's close association with the [[Iron Throne]] and his favored position at court brought Lord Jason into the Dance supporting the [[greens]] against Rhaenyra's claim.{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Westerlands: House Lannister Under the Dragons}} Lord Jason gathered a formidable host of a thousand [[knight]]s and seven thousand archers and men-at-arms.{{Ref|FAB|The Dying of the Dragons - The Red Dragon and the Gold}}

Prince [[Aemond Targaryen]] had Jason and his host descend on the [[riverlands]] from the [[Red Fork]]. In the [[Battle at the Red Fork]], the riverlords rushed to meet Jason's host in battle. The westermen tried to cross the ford three times, but were turned back. In the third attempt, Lord Jason was mortally wounded by [[Pate of Longleaf]], a grizzled squire. While Jason was dying of his wounds, Ser [[Adrian Tarbeck]] took command of the westermen and shattered the riverlords' host. Lord Jason died from his wounds not long after,{{Ref|FAB|The Dying of the Dragons - The Red Dragon and the Gold}}{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Targaryen Kings: Aegon II}} leaving [[Casterly Rock]] in disarray.{{Ref|FAB|The Dying of the Dragons - Rhaenyra Triumphant}}

Jason was succeeded as [[Lord of Casterly Rock]] by his young son, [[Loreon Lannister (son of Jason)|Loreon]]. For his actions, Pate was knighted by Lord [[Petyr Piper]] and dubbed "Longleaf the Lionslayer". Jason's widow, Lady [[Johanna Lannister]], defended the westerlands from the Red Kraken, Lord [[Dalton Greyjoy]]. With most of the Lannister strength in the riverlands, the ironborn descended on the thinly-defended westerlands, [[sack of Lannisport|sacking Lannisport]] and seizing hundreds of women, including Lord Jason's favorite mistress and his [[Bastardy|natural daughters]].{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Iron Islands: The Red Kraken}}

==Family==
Jason was married to Lady [[Johanna Lannister|Johanna]] of [[House Westerling]] with whom he had five daughters, including [[Cerelle Lannister (daughter of Jason)|Cerelle]] and [[Tyshara Lannister|Tyshara]], and one son [[Loreon Lannister (son of Jason)|Loreon]].{{Ref|FAB|Aftermath - The Hour of the Wolf}} Jason also had [[Bastardy|natural]] daughters with his favorite [[Paramour|mistress]].{{Ref|FAB|The Dying of the Dragons - The Red Dragon and the Gold}}{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Iron Islands: The Red Kraken}}
