'''House Tyrell''' is the principal noble house in [[the Reach]]; many lesser houses are sworn to them. Their seat is at Highgarden, a castle near the Manderly river. Their sigil is a golden rose on a green field, and their words are "Growing Strong.
 
'''House Tyrell of Highgarden''' is one of the [[Great Houses]] of the [[Seven Kingdoms]], being [[Lords Paramount of the Mander]] and the liege lords of the [[Reach]]. A large, wealthy house, its wealth is only surpassed among the [[Great Houses]] by [[House Lannister]], and the Tyrells can field the greatest armies. Additionally, if they call the ships of the [[Redwyne fleet]], the lords of the [[Shield Islands]], and the coastal lords, they can command a navy that equals if not surpasses the [[House Baratheon of King's Landing|royal fleet]] of [[King's Landing]].
 
[[Highgarden]] is an ancient seat of rule and the heart of chivalry in the Seven Kingdoms;{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Reach}} the Tyrells style themselves '[[Defender of the Marches|Defenders of the Marches]]' and '[[High Marshal of the Reach|High Marshals of the Reach]]', and traditionally, they have been [[Warden of the South|Wardens of the South]] in addition to Lords Paramount of the Mander. Their sigil is a golden [[rose]] on a green field, and their words are "Growing Strong".{{Ref|ACOK|22}} Members of the family tend to have curly brown hair{{Ref|ACOK|22}}{{Ref|ASOS|19}}{{Ref|ASOS|67}} and brown eyes.{{Ref|ASOS|6}}{{Ref|ASOS|67}}


==History==
==History==
The Tyrells trace a line of descent, through the female line, to the legendary Garth Greenhand, the first King of the Reach in the Age of Heroes. The Tyrells were [[steward]]s to House Gardener, the ancient ruling line of Kings of the Reach, who periodically intermarried with lower ranking houses of the Reach such as Tyrell or Florent.  After House Gardner was extinguished in the [[War of Conquest]], the Tyrells surrendered Highgarden to the Targaryens. For their service they were created [[lords paramount]] in the Reach and [[Wardens]] of the South.
===Kingdom of the Reach===
Unlike most other [[Great Houses]], the Tyrells never ruled as kings.{{Ref|ASOS|6}} Instead, they trace their line of descent through the female line to the legendary [[Garth the Gardener]], the mythical first [[King of the Reach]] reigning in the [[Age of Heroes]], and the son of the equally mythic [[Garth Greenhand]].{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Reach: Garth Greenhand}} Members of [[House Gardener]], the ruling house of the [[Kingdom of the Reach]], periodically intermarried with lower ranking houses of the Reach such as House Tyrell.{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Reach: House Tyrell}}
 
The Tyrells served as [[High Steward|stewards]] to [[House Gardener]].{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Reach: Andals in the Reach}} Ser [[Alester Tyrell]], the founder of the house, was an [[Andal]] [[knight]] and adventurer who showed such prowess at arms that he was named the champion and [[sworn shield]] of King [[Gwayne V Gardener]], the last of the [[Three Sage Kings]].{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Reach: Andals in the Reach}}{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Reach: House Tyrell}} Ser Alester's eldest son also became a notable knight, but died in a tourney. Alester's second son, [[Gareth Tyrell|Gareth]], was of a more bookish bent and never achieved knighthood, choosing instead to serve as a royal steward. He and his son [[Leo Tyrell (son of Gareth)|Leo]] performed their duties so well, the Gardeners made the office of [[High Steward]] hereditary. It is from Gareth that today’s Tyrells descend.{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Reach: House Tyrell}}
 
During the minority of King [[Garland VI Gardener]], a member of House Tyrell ruled the [[Reach]] in his name as [[Regent]].{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Reach: House Tyrell}}
 
When Lords [[House Manderly|Manderly]] and [[House Peake|Peake]] instigated a civil war to see their respective wives, both daughters to the senile old King [[Garth X Gardener]], succeed as Queen of the Reach, Ser [[Osmund Tyrell]], the High Steward, led an alliance of twoscore houses to put down the rebels and reclaimed the ruins of [[Highgarden]] which had been sacked by a [[Dorne|Dornish]] king and his raiders. Ser Osmund placed a second cousin of the late Garth X, who has been killed by the raiders, upon the new throne as King [[Mern VI Gardener]].{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Reach: Andals in the Reach}}
 
Relying on the able counsel of Ser Osmund, and later Osmund's son Ser [[Robert Tyrell]], and finally Robert's son [[Lorent Tyrell (steward)|Lorent Tyrell]], King Mern ruled well, rebuilding Highgarden and doing much and more to restore the power of the [[Reach]] and House Gardener.{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Reach: Andals in the Reach}} Mern VI was so pleased with them that he gave Ser Robert the hand of his youngest daughter in marriage, thereby allowing the following generations of Tyrells to claim decent from [[Garth Greenhand]].{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Reach: House Tyrell}} That was the first marriage between the two houses, and nine more unions followed in the passing centuries.{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Reach: House Tyrell}}
 
===Targaryen Era===

Following the defeat and death of King [[Mern IX Gardener]] and his other kin at the [[Field of Fire]] during [[Aegon's Conquest]], [[Harlan Tyrell]], hereditary high steward of the Reach, surrendered [[Highgarden]] to [[Aegon I Targaryen|Aegon the Conqueror]]. As a reward, Harlan was granted the castle along with dominion of the Reach as [[Lord Paramount of the Mander]]. As Wardens of the South they frequently warred with the [[Dornishmen]], who remained independent. Harlan disappeared in the Dornish sands during the [[First Dornish War]].{{Ref|TWOIAF|Dorne: Dorne Against the Dragons}}
 
During the reign of King [[Jaehaerys I Targaryen]], the Tyrells hosted the famed [[Tourney of the Field of Roses]].{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Reach: Highgarden}}
 
As the [[Dance of the Dragons]] began, Lord [[Lyonel Tyrell (lord)|Lyonel Tyrell]] was an infant, and his regent mother was judged likely to align the Reach with the House's "overmighty" bannermen, the [[House Hightower|Hightowers]], and [[the greens]].{{Ref|FAB|The Dying of the Dragons - The Red Dragon and the Gold}} However, House Tyrell decided to take no part in the war.{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Targaryen Kings: Aegon II}}{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Reach: House Tyrell}} The Tyrell bannermen, on the other hand, were split during the war, with men of the Reach fighting on both sides. Later Ser [[Ulf White]] attempted to claim Highgarden for himself, as House Tyrell had taken no part in the Dance and he believed they should be considered traitors.{{Ref|FAB|The Dying of the Dragons - Rhaenyra Triumphant}}
 
When [[Daeron I Targaryen]], the Young Dragon, attempted the [[conquest of Dorne]], Lord Lyonel commanded the army that invaded via [[Prince's Pass]]. After the initial victory, Daeron appointed Lord Tyrell as governor of Dorne. Lord Tyrell liked Dornish women and one night he pulled the rope that would signal for a wench to come to his bed, and a hundred scorpions fell from the canopy instead. His death sparked new revolts, and the conquest was undone in a fortnight.{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Reach: House Tyrell}}{{Ref|ASOS|66}}
 
Lord [[Leo Tyrell (Longthorn)|Leo "Longthorn" Tyrell]] participated in the [[tourney at Ashford Meadow]], beginning the tourney as one of the champions. Both Prince [[Aegon V Targaryen|Aegon Targaryen]] and Ser [[Duncan the Tall|Duncan]] recognized him as a formidable opponent, one that Duncan would better avoid.{{Ref|THK}}
 
During [[Robert's Rebellion]], House Tyrell stayed loyal to King [[Aerys II Targaryen]]. Lord [[Mace Tyrell]]'s forces achieved victory against Lord [[Robert I Baratheon|Robert Baratheon]] at the [[Battle of Ashford]]. Mace likes to take credit for the success,{{Ref|ASOS|54}}{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Reach: House Tyrell}}{{Ref|ASOS|19}}{{Ref|ASOS|78}} but it was the van under command of Lord [[Randyll Tarly]] that put Robert to flight.{{Ref|ASOS|19}} Mace's cousin, Ser [[Quentin Tyrell]], died in the battle.{{Ref|AFFC|Appendix}} Mace went on to [[Siege of Storm's End|besiege]] [[Storm's End]]{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Reach: House Tyrell}} for almost a year.{{Ref|ACOK|Prologue}} He bent the knee to Lord [[Eddard Stark]] after King [[Aerys II Targaryen]] had been killed in the [[Sack of King's Landing]].{{Ref|AGOT|39}} The new King [[Robert I Baratheon]] accepted the Tyrells back into the king's peace.

Ser [[Loras Tyrell]] resides at [[King's Landing]] with his own retinue.{{Ref|AGOT|47}} Loras participates in the [[Hand's tourney]], defeating Ser [[Gregor Clegane]] but yielding the final tilt to [[Sandor Clegane]] after the latter rescues him from Gregor's wrath.{{Ref|AGOT|30}} He asks the honor of taking the place of the injured [[Hand of the King]], Lord [[Eddard Stark]], in leading a force to bring Gregor to justice for pillaging the [[riverlands]], but Eddard refuses him.{{Ref|AGOT|43}}
 
When King [[Robert I Baratheon]] lays dying, Loras flees [[King's Landing]] with Lord [[Renly Baratheon]] after Eddard rebuffs Renly's request for his aid in taking Robert's children into custody.{{Ref|AGOT|49}} After Robert's death, the new king, [[Joffrey Baratheon|Joffrey I Baratheon]], has Loras, Lord [[Mace Tyrell]], his brothers (of which he has none), uncles, and other two sons [[Willas Tyrell|Willas]] and [[Garlan Tyrell|Garlan]] named among the nobles whom must swear fealty to him or be attainted as traitors.{{Ref|AGOT|57}} However, no Tyrell travels to King's Landing.

The new alliance between House Tyrell and House Lannister joins forces to battle Stannis Baratheon in the [[Battle of the Blackwater]] at [[King's Landing]]. Mace and two sons, [[Garlan Tyrell|Garlan]] and Loras, await Lord [[Tywin Lannister]] and his army at [[Tumbler's Falls]].

Lord Tyrell commands the left,{{Ref|ACOK|62}} and Ser Garlan the vanguard.{{Ref|ASOS|67}} The van plunges through Stannis's army, while Garlan dresses in the recognizable green armor of the deceased Renly Baratheon, which causes Renly's former supporters, convinced Renly has risen from the grave, to abandon Stannis.{{Ref|ACOK|62}}
 
Mace is granted a seat on the small council as a reward for his participation in the battle.{{Ref|ACOK|65}} His son Loras is named to Joffrey's [[Kingsguard]], and his daughter Margaery is betrothed to Joffrey.{{Ref|ACOK|65}}

The Tyrells's lack of a royal history, unlike other great houses, causes them to seek more status and power. Prior to Margaery's arrival in [[King's Landing]], wagons of food are sent to the capital for the starving population in her name. When she arrives in the city, she is greeting by cheering crowds. Margaery and her grandmother, Lady [[Olenna Tyrell|Olenna]], inquire with [[Sansa Stark]] about King [[Joffrey Baratheon|Joffrey I Baratheon]]'s nature, and learn how both Joffrey and his mother [[Cersei Lannister|Cersei]] have been treating the [[House Stark|Stark]] girl. When Sansa expresses fear that Margaery will refuse the marriage due to the revelation, Margaery and Olenna confide in Sansa that Mace is determined to see Margaery become a queen, while simply calling Joffrey's nature "a pity". Margaery and Olenna suggest to Sansa that she travel to [[Highgarden]] after Margaery's wedding, secretly plotting to marry Sansa to Margaery's eldest brother, [[Willas Tyrell|Willas]].{{Ref|ASOS|6}} Margaery and her ladies take Sansa in, taking her hawking, doing needlework with her, and other such pastimes.{{Ref|ASOS|16}}
 
Ser [[Garlan Tyrell]] is granted the titles, lands and incomes of [[House Florent]], including lordship of [[Brightwater Keep]].{{Ref|ASOS|19}} Mace is named [[master of ships]].{{Ref|ASOS|Appendix}}

Loras attempts to attack [[Brienne Tarth|Brienne of Tarth]], whom he holds responsible for Renly Baratheon's death, when she arrives in King's Landing.{{Ref|ASOS|62}} To protect her, Ser [[Jaime Lannister]] has her arrested.{{Ref|ASOS|62}} He later discusses Renly's death with Loras and commands Loras to speak with Brienne about what happened,{{Ref|ASOS|67}} which he does.{{Ref|ASOS|72}}
 
After Joffrey's death, the Tyrells insist that Margaery is wed to his younger brother [[Tommen Baratheon|Tommen I]], the new king.{{Ref|ASOS|62}}{{Ref|ASOS|72}} Lord [[Tywin Lannister]] suggests offering Jaime as a husband for Margaery instead, intending to have Jaime abdicate his place in the Kingsguard.

After the death of Lord [[Tywin Lannister]], Tommen's [[Hand of the King]], Dowager Queen [[Cersei Lannister]] takes over the regency. Cersei is mistrustful of the Tyrells, feeling they overreach themselves.{{Ref|AFFC|7}} She suspects that they are trying to seize control of the kingdom, and her suspicion grows when [[Qyburn]] finds a [[House Gardener|Gardener]] coin in the cell where [[Tyrion Lannister]] had been held before his escape.{{Ref|AFFC|7}} Qyburn tells her that the coin is similar to the ones Lady [[Olenna Tyrell]] carries with her when traveling, causing Cersei to wrongfully suspect a Tyrell involvement in Tyrion's escape.{{Ref|AFFC|16}} Cersei commences a campaign of intrigue to remove Tyrells in [[King's Landing]] from positions of influence and authority, including Margaery and her brother [[Loras Tyrell|Loras]], a knight of the [[Kingsguard]].{{Ref|AFFC|24}}
 
Mace refuses to leave [[King's Landing]] until Margaery and Tommen are wed.{{Ref|AFFC|8}} As such, Margaery marries King [[Tommen Baratheon|Tommen I Baratheon]] in a small ceremony in the [[Red Keep]]'s royal sept, followed by a small feast.{{Ref|AFFC|12}} His daughter now wed, Mace leaves King's Landing with Lord [[Mathis Rowan]] and half of the Tyrell strength to take [[Storm's End]] from Ser [[Gilbert Farring]], while Ser [[Garlan Tyrell|Garlan]] takes the other half of the Tyrell forces back to the [[Reach]] to claim [[Brightwater Keep]].{{Ref|AFFC|12}} Lord [[Paxter Redwyne]] uses the [[Redwyne fleet]] to transport Lannister soldiers to [[Dragonstone (island)|Dragonstone]], which is held by [[Rolland Storm]].{{Ref|AFFC|16}}

Additionally, Taena informs Cersei of everything Margaery does.{{Ref|AFFC|16}}

==Current members==
Margaery begins to instruct Tommen on his kingship, telling him he should sit on the [[Iron Throne]] and attend the [[small council]] meetings,{{Ref|aFfC|36}} which earns her further hatred of Cersei, who plans to rule herself until Tommen [[age of majority|comes of age]].{{Ref|AFFC|24}} Cersei becomes convinced that Margaery is attempting to steal Tommen from her.{{Ref|AFFC|28}} Meanwhile, Margaery does much to gain favor with the residents of King's Landing by visiting local markets to buy fresh fruits, bread, and fish, ordering dresses from local seamstresses, and making great public shows of charity.{{Ref|AFFC|28}}
===Mace===
Lord of Highgarden, Defender of the Marches, High Marshal of the Reach, and Warden of the South. Mace Tyrell is a prematurely old and rather tedious man lacking in political savvy. His sole military accomplishment is the [[Siege of Storm's End]].  Though he has tried to use the [[Battle of Ashford]] as evidence of strategic brilliance, he actually had little to do with the fighting. He now serves only as the figurehead of his powerful house for his more intelligent family members.


Mace has always dreamed of his daughter being a Queen, thus when [[Renly Baratheon]] and [[Loras Tyrell]] presented the plan to crown Renly and have him wed [[Margaery Tyrell]], they had his full support. However, King Renly’s rule did not last long enough for him to consummate the marriage  as he was slain at Storm’s End. When word of this reached Mace, he marched some ten thousand men to Bitterbridge to plan his next move with his sons. They were joined by Petyr Baelish with an offer from King [[Joffrey Baratheon]]. Forming an alliance with house Lannister he was soon joined by [[Tywin Lannister|Tywin]]'s army to march on and defeat [[Stannis Baratheon|Stannis]] at the Blackwater. His reward was a seat on the [[Small Council]].  Later, he was charged with the capture of Storm’s End, but the siege was interrupted by news that Margaery had been imprisoned. He abandoned his charge and is currently marching his army on the city of King’s Landing.
After the [[taking of the Shields]] by the [[ironborn]], Margaery insists that her father and his forces be allowed to return to the Reach, thereby abandoning the [[siege of Storm's End (300)|siege of Storm's End]], and is shocked when Cersei seems to lack understanding for the threat posed by the ironborn. Ser Loras asks permission to take command of the [[siege of Dragonstone]] from Lord Redwyne, so the Redwyne fleet is no longer needed at the island and can return to the Reach to face the ironborn.{{Ref|AFFC|32}} Although Loras is successful in taking Dragonstone, he is severely injured.{{Ref|AFFC|36}}


===Alerie Hightower===
In order to get rid of Margaery, Cersei attempts to frame her for adultery and treason.{{Ref|AFFC|17}} When Margaery does not respond to the advances of Cersei's agent, Ser [[Osney Kettleblack]],{{Ref|AFFC|24}}{{Ref|AFFC|28}} Cersei has him falsely confess to the [[High Sparrow]] that he had intercourse with Margaery and her cousins, [[Elinor Tyrell|Elinor]] and [[Megga Tyrell]].{{Ref|AFFC|39}} Margaery and her cousins are subsequently arrested by the Faith and confined in the Great Sept. When Septa [[Moelle]] reports at court that Margaery's maidenhead has been broken, Grand Maester [[Pycelle]] reveals how he provided Margaery with moon tea on several occasions (as per Cersei's instructions). While she is confined by the Faith, Margaery is visited by Cersei and scolds her for framing her. A mob forms in front of the Great Sept, calling out Margaery's name.{{Ref|AFFC|43}}
Lady Alerie Tyrell is Mace's wife and the daughter of Lord Leyton Hightower, the Tyrells' most powerful bannerman. She is described as simpering by [[Cersei Lannister]]. Physically, she is an elegant woman, tall and lovely with long silver hair worn in a braid, held with jeweled rings. She is the mother of Willas, Garlan, Loras and Margaery.


===Willas===
When he learns about his daughter's arrest, Lord Mace abandons the siege of Storm's End and marches most of his force back to King's Landing. His bannerman, Lord [[Randyll Tarly]], leaves [[Maidenpool]] with his own army to give Margaery his aid.{{Ref|AFFC|43}}
Mace's eldest son, the heir to Highgarden. He was crippled in a tourney mishap while facing [[Oberyn Martell]], the latest round in a longstanding feud between the two houses that continues to this day.  Willas is described by others as a very intelligent, scholarly, and sensitive young man.  He appears to hold no grudge on Oberyn for the accident, and communicates with him occasionally through letters.


Although he has not appeared directly in the story, Margaery and Olenna planned to marry him to Sansa Stark to gain Tyrell claim on the North, but the plot fell through. Tywin Lannister suggested him as a possible candidate for marriage to Cersei Lannister, but Mace refused the offer.  The matter was dropped after Tywin's death.  As of Mace's departure from Highgarden, Willas is ruling in his stead, and is attempting to fend off the raids from the Greyjoys and their Iron Fleet.
===''A Dance with Dragons''===
The evidence against Margaery and her cousins is weak. As such, the [[High Sparrow]] agrees to hand them over into the custody of Lord [[Randyll Tarly]], who has arrived in [[King's Landing]].{{Ref|ADWD|54}} Lord [[Mace Tyrell]] arrives next with his force, and refuses to leave the city until Margaery's trial is over and she is declared innocent, despite the [[Golden Company]] having [[landing of the Golden Company|landed]] in the [[stormlands]].{{Ref|ADWD|54}} Margaery plans to let the Faith sit in judgement of her.{{Ref|ADWD|65}} Ser [[Kevan Lannister]], King [[Tommen Baratheon|Tommen I Baratheon]]'s new regent, names Mace the [[Hand of the King]], while Mace's bannermen [[Randyll Tarly]] and [[Paxter Redwyne]] are made masters of [[justiciar]] and [[lord admiral]], respectively.{{Ref|ADWD|54}}


===Garlan===
Kevan wonders why Mace insists on having his army present when Margaery faces her accusers, if she is as innocent as Mace would have them all believe.{{Ref|ADWD|Epilogue}}
Mace's second son, he is known as Garlan the Gallant.  Although his younger brother is renowned in the joust, Loras admits that Garlan is superior with the sword, making Garlan one of the best swordsmen in Westeros.  Garlan often trains against two or three men at once.  He is married to Leonette Fossaway, daughter of a Tyrell banner-house. They have no children of yet.


Garlan wore Lord Renly's armor during the [[Battle of the Blackwater]], killing a dozen knights, including the famed warrior Ser Guyard Morrigen.  The sight of what seemed to be a dead man leading the vanguard drove many of Stannis' men into panic.  For his service on the Blackwater, Garlan was granted the Lordship of Brightwater Keep and the lands of the Florents, who were bannermen to the Tyrells but joined with Stannis.  This reward makes Garlan a powerful lord in his own right.  At Joffrey's wedding, he was one of a very few characters in the series to acknowledge and praise the abilities of Tyrion Lannister.  During the wedding feast, he stood up for Tyrion when the drunken groom abused him, even rebuking the Joffrey in front of his court. During Tyrion's trial, Garlan attempted to defend him, but Tyrion realized that Cersei was using Garlan's honorable reputation to build a credible backbone for her case.  After Margaery and Tommen's wedding he returned to the Reach with some ten thousand men in an attempt claim his new lands of Brightwater.

*** [[Lorent Tyrell]], Leo's third son.


Margaery was first married to King Renly Baratheon, as a pledge of loyalty from the Tyrell family.  When he was killed, the Tyrells allied with the Lannisters, wedding Margaery to King Joffrey Baratheon.  After Joffrey was poisoned at their wedding feast, Margaery was wed yet again, this time to Joffrey's younger brother [[Tommen]], a little boy who was then crowned king.  In the months after their marriage, the [[Queen Regent Cersei]] schemed to dispose of Margaery and the Tyrells, taking advantage of Margaery's claim to still be a maid despite her marriage to Renly.  This claim may or may not be true; Margaery's [[maidenhead]] was confirmed to have been ruptured by a Septa who inspected her, but as communicated to the readers by Cersei, highborn girls often have their maidenheads broken by horseback-riding.


While Tommen's queen, she did much to curry favor with the populace, visiting local markets and buying fresh fruits, breads and fish, and ordering dresses and such from many local seamstresses, and making great public shows of charity, all while travelling with a bright and colorful retinue.  Margaery suggested several activities for Tommen in an effort to shape him into a successful ruler, such as riding in sight of his subjects and observing sessions of the Small Council.  Cersei forbade all of Margaery's suggestions.  Later, Margaery recognized the military threat created by the [[The Iron Islands|ironborn]] invasion of the Shield Islands, and was incredulous at Cersei's lack of understanding.
{{Tyrell_tree}}


Cersei accused Margaery of adultery and treason, lining up an impressive, if untrue, array of conspirators and evidence; she was arrested, and imprisoned to await trial by the [[Faith]] at the Great Sept of Baelor. While in custody, she confronted Cersei, revealing that she knew that this was all the doings of her "good-mother" (mother-in-law), and that she knew Cersei wanted to remove her from a position of influence, perhaps by arranging for her death. Later, one of Cersei's key witnesses revealed her plots under torture, and Cersei soon found herself sharing Margaery's plight.  Their fate is unknown.
===Household===
====Margaery's companions and ladies-in-waiting:====
* [[Megga Tyrell|Megga]], [[Alla Tyrell|Alla]], and [[Elinor Tyrell]], Margaery's cousins.
** Elinor's betrothed, [[Alyn Ambrose]], a squire.
* Lady [[Alysanne Bulwer]], a girl, [[Meredyth Crane]], called 'Merry', Lady [[Alyce Graceford]], Lady [[Taena Merryweather]], late of [[Myr]] and wife of Lord [[Orton Merryweather]], Lady [[Leonette Fossoway]], wife of Lord [[Garlan Tyrell]].
* Septa [[Nysterica]], a sister of the Faith.


===Olenna Redwyne===
====At Highgarden:====
Mace's mother, widow of Lord Luthor Tyrell, Lady Olenna was born of [[House Redwyne]], a powerful [[feodality|bannerhouse]] of House Tyrell.  She is a wizened, cunning old woman with a wicked wit and a sharp tongue, which had earned her the sobriquet "the Queen of Thorns." She is often accompanied by seven-foot tall identical twin guards whom she calls "Left" and "Right". Olenna has two daughters, Janna, and Mina, Lady of [[the Arbor]] by virtue of her marriage to [[House Redwyne|Lord Paxter Redwyne]].
* Maester [[Lomys]], counselor, healer, and tutor.
* [[Igon Vyrwel]], captain of the guard.
* Ser [[Vortimer Crane]], master-at-arms.
* [[Butterbumps]], fool and jester, hugely fat.
* [[Arryk (guard)|Arryk]] and [[Erryk (guard)|Erryk]], called 'Left' and 'Right', twin guardsmen to Lady Olenna.


Olenna was introduced in ''[[A Storm of Swords]]'', sharply questioning Sansa Stark on Joffrey's nature, apparently concerned about the rumors that followed the boy that was to wed her granddaughter.  She refused to accept Sansa's half-truths and polite evasions. After getting Sansa to speak about Joffrey's cruelty and the beatings he gave her, Olenna began talking of taking Sansa away to Highgarden and marrying her to Willas. [[Petyr Baelish]] later claimed that Lady Olenna was King Joffrey's poisoner.  The truth of this charge is unclear, but Olenna did appear to remove a bead from Sansa's hairnet, and it is strongly implied by several characters that the beads in this net were actually a deadly poison in disguise.  Olenna also invited Sansa to return to Highgarden with her, possibly as a way of helping her escape Lannister persecution. Shortly after Margaery's wedding to Tommen, Olenna returned to Highgarden. However, before she left, she very subtly implied to Cersei that she believed that Joffrey, Myrcella, and Tommen were the products of incest between Cersei and Jaime, and that they were not Robert's trueborn children.

* Ser [[Mark Mullendore]], a knight. Crippled during the [[Battle of the Blackwater]].

House Tyrell of Highgarden is one of the Great Houses of the Seven Kingdoms, being Lords Paramount of the Mander and the liege lords of the Reach. A large, wealthy house, its wealth is only surpassed among the Great Houses by House Lannister, and the Tyrells can field the greatest armies. Additionally, if they call the ships of the Redwyne fleet, the lords of the Shield Islands, and the coastal lords, they can command a navy that equals if not surpasses the royal fleet of King's Landing.

Highgarden is an ancient seat of rule and the heart of chivalry in the Seven Kingdoms;[1] the Tyrells style themselves 'Defenders of the Marches' and 'High Marshals of the Reach', and traditionally, they have been Wardens of the South in addition to Lords Paramount of the Mander. Their sigil is a golden rose on a green field, and their words are "Growing Strong".[2] Members of the family tend to have curly brown hair[2][3][4] and brown eyes.[5][4]

History

[edit]

Kingdom of the Reach

[edit]

Unlike most other Great Houses, the Tyrells never ruled as kings.[5] Instead, they trace their line of descent through the female line to the legendary Garth the Gardener, the mythical first King of the Reach reigning in the Age of Heroes, and the son of the equally mythic Garth Greenhand.[6] Members of House Gardener, the ruling house of the Kingdom of the Reach, periodically intermarried with lower ranking houses of the Reach such as House Tyrell.[7]

The Tyrells served as stewards to House Gardener.[8] Ser Alester Tyrell, the founder of the house, was an Andal knight and adventurer who showed such prowess at arms that he was named the champion and sworn shield of King Gwayne V Gardener, the last of the Three Sage Kings.[8][7] Ser Alester's eldest son also became a notable knight, but died in a tourney. Alester's second son, Gareth, was of a more bookish bent and never achieved knighthood, choosing instead to serve as a royal steward. He and his son Leo performed their duties so well, the Gardeners made the office of High Steward hereditary. It is from Gareth that today’s Tyrells descend.[7]

During the minority of King Garland VI Gardener, a member of House Tyrell ruled the Reach in his name as Regent.[7]

When Lords Manderly and Peake instigated a civil war to see their respective wives, both daughters to the senile old King Garth X Gardener, succeed as Queen of the Reach, Ser Osmund Tyrell, the High Steward, led an alliance of twoscore houses to put down the rebels and reclaimed the ruins of Highgarden which had been sacked by a Dornish king and his raiders. Ser Osmund placed a second cousin of the late Garth X, who has been killed by the raiders, upon the new throne as King Mern VI Gardener.[8]

Relying on the able counsel of Ser Osmund, and later Osmund's son Ser Robert Tyrell, and finally Robert's son Lorent Tyrell, King Mern ruled well, rebuilding Highgarden and doing much and more to restore the power of the Reach and House Gardener.[8] Mern VI was so pleased with them that he gave Ser Robert the hand of his youngest daughter in marriage, thereby allowing the following generations of Tyrells to claim decent from Garth Greenhand.[7] That was the first marriage between the two houses, and nine more unions followed in the passing centuries.[7]

Targaryen Era

[edit]
Highgarden Honor Guard by Tomasz Jedruszek © Fantasy Flight Games

Following the defeat and death of King Mern IX Gardener and his other kin at the Field of Fire during Aegon's Conquest, Harlan Tyrell, hereditary high steward of the Reach, surrendered Highgarden to Aegon the Conqueror. As a reward, Harlan was granted the castle along with dominion of the Reach as Lord Paramount of the Mander. As Wardens of the South they frequently warred with the Dornishmen, who remained independent. Harlan disappeared in the Dornish sands during the First Dornish War.[9]

During the reign of King Jaehaerys I Targaryen, the Tyrells hosted the famed Tourney of the Field of Roses.[10]

As the Dance of the Dragons began, Lord Lyonel Tyrell was an infant, and his regent mother was judged likely to align the Reach with the House's "overmighty" bannermen, the Hightowers, and the greens.[11] However, House Tyrell decided to take no part in the war.[12][7] The Tyrell bannermen, on the other hand, were split during the war, with men of the Reach fighting on both sides. Later Ser Ulf White attempted to claim Highgarden for himself, as House Tyrell had taken no part in the Dance and he believed they should be considered traitors.[13]

When Daeron I Targaryen, the Young Dragon, attempted the conquest of Dorne, Lord Lyonel commanded the army that invaded via Prince's Pass. After the initial victory, Daeron appointed Lord Tyrell as governor of Dorne. Lord Tyrell liked Dornish women and one night he pulled the rope that would signal for a wench to come to his bed, and a hundred scorpions fell from the canopy instead. His death sparked new revolts, and the conquest was undone in a fortnight.[7][14]

Lord Leo "Longthorn" Tyrell participated in the tourney at Ashford Meadow, beginning the tourney as one of the champions. Both Prince Aegon Targaryen and Ser Duncan recognized him as a formidable opponent, one that Duncan would better avoid.[15]

During Robert's Rebellion, House Tyrell stayed loyal to King Aerys II Targaryen. Lord Mace Tyrell's forces achieved victory against Lord Robert Baratheon at the Battle of Ashford. Mace likes to take credit for the success,[16][7][3][17] but it was the van under command of Lord Randyll Tarly that put Robert to flight.[3] Mace's cousin, Ser Quentin Tyrell, died in the battle.[18] Mace went on to besiege Storm's End[7] for almost a year.[19] He bent the knee to Lord Eddard Stark after King Aerys II Targaryen had been killed in the Sack of King's Landing.[20] The new King Robert I Baratheon accepted the Tyrells back into the king's peace.

A Game of Thrones

[edit]
Highgarden by Zippo514 ©

House Tyrell is among the houses that Viserys Targaryen believes will rise for him if he lands in Westeros.[21]

Ser Loras Tyrell resides at King's Landing with his own retinue.[22] Loras participates in the Hand's tourney, defeating Ser Gregor Clegane but yielding the final tilt to Sandor Clegane after the latter rescues him from Gregor's wrath.[23] He asks the honor of taking the place of the injured Hand of the King, Lord Eddard Stark, in leading a force to bring Gregor to justice for pillaging the riverlands, but Eddard refuses him.[24]

When King Robert I Baratheon lays dying, Loras flees King's Landing with Lord Renly Baratheon after Eddard rebuffs Renly's request for his aid in taking Robert's children into custody.[25] After Robert's death, the new king, Joffrey I Baratheon, has Loras, Lord Mace Tyrell, his brothers (of which he has none), uncles, and other two sons Willas and Garlan named among the nobles whom must swear fealty to him or be attainted as traitors.[26] However, no Tyrell travels to King's Landing. Instead, Joffrey's uncle Renly claims the Iron Throne and marries Mace's daughter Margaery at Highgarden.[27]

A Clash of Kings

[edit]
Strength of Highgarden by Tomasz Jedruszek © Fantasy Flight Games

Ser Loras Tyrell is named the Lord Commander of Renly Baratheon's own bodyguards, the Rainbow Guard, while Lord Mace Tyrell is named Renly's Hand of the King.[28] Most of the Tyrell bannermen join them in supporting Renly, giving him the strongest army in the War of the Five Kings.

Mace Tyrell closes off the roseroad, resulting in famine in King's Landing.[29]

Renly is murdered at Storm's End. When he sees his lover's body, an enraged Loras kills three of Renly's guards, including Emmon Cuy and Robar Royce, two knights of the Rainbow Guard.[30] Loras returns to Bitterbridge, where Renly's remaining sixty thousand men are located, with some four thousand of Renly's knights.[30] In King's Landing, the small council attempts to make an alliance with the Tyrells by offering to marry Joffrey I Baratheon to Lady Margaery Tyrell. Petyr Baelish, representing Joffrey,[30] travels to Bitterbridge and Highgarden[31] to negotiate the allegiance of the Tyrells. Riders are sent north to warn Lord Tywin Lannister of Stannis's threat to the capital.[32]

The new alliance between House Tyrell and House Lannister joins forces to battle Stannis Baratheon in the Battle of the Blackwater at King's Landing. Mace and two sons, Garlan and Loras, await Lord Tywin Lannister and his army at Tumbler's Falls. From there, they float down the Blackwater Rush upon a fleet of barges, disembarking half a day's ride from King's Landing.[32] They arrive at the city at dusk,[33] taking Stannis's army from the rear. Lord Tyrell commands the left,[34] and Ser Garlan the vanguard.[4] The van plunges through Stannis's army, while Garlan dresses in the recognizable green armor of the deceased Renly Baratheon, which causes Renly's former supporters, convinced Renly has risen from the grave, to abandon Stannis.[34]

Mace is granted a seat on the small council as a reward for his participation in the battle.[35] His son Loras is named to Joffrey's Kingsguard, and his daughter Margaery is betrothed to Joffrey.[35]

Servants of House Tyrell distribute food to the poor of King's Landing, by Dimitri Bielak © Fantasy Flight Games

The Tyrells's lack of a royal history, unlike other great houses, causes them to seek more status and power. Prior to Margaery's arrival in King's Landing, wagons of food are sent to the capital for the starving population in her name. When she arrives in the city, she is greeting by cheering crowds. Margaery and her grandmother, Lady Olenna, inquire with Sansa Stark about King Joffrey I Baratheon's nature, and learn how both Joffrey and his mother Cersei have been treating the Stark girl. When Sansa expresses fear that Margaery will refuse the marriage due to the revelation, Margaery and Olenna confide in Sansa that Mace is determined to see Margaery become a queen, while simply calling Joffrey's nature "a pity". Margaery and Olenna suggest to Sansa that she travel to Highgarden after Margaery's wedding, secretly plotting to marry Sansa to Margaery's eldest brother, Willas.[5] Margaery and her ladies take Sansa in, taking her hawking, doing needlework with her, and other such pastimes.[36]

Ser Garlan Tyrell is granted the titles, lands and incomes of House Florent, including lordship of Brightwater Keep.[3] Mace is named master of ships.[37]

On the first day of 300 AC, Margaery marries King Joffrey at the Great Sept of Baelor in King's Landing.[38] During the wedding feast, however, Joffrey dies from poison.[38] Lord Petyr Baelish later reveals to Sansa that Joffrey's death was arranged by himself and Lady Olenna.[31] When Joffrey's uncle, Tyrion Lannister, is falsely accused of the king's murder, Mace serves as one of the judges at his trial.[14] Mace, unaware of his mother Olenna's involvement in the poisoning, is convinced of Tyrion's guilt, and wants him dead, as Margaery had been drinking from the same cup of wine as Joffrey.[14]

Loras attempts to attack Brienne of Tarth, whom he holds responsible for Renly Baratheon's death, when she arrives in King's Landing.[39] To protect her, Ser Jaime Lannister has her arrested.[39] He later discusses Renly's death with Loras and commands Loras to speak with Brienne about what happened,[4] which he does.[40]

After Joffrey's death, the Tyrells insist that Margaery is wed to his younger brother Tommen I, the new king.[39][40] Lord Tywin Lannister suggests offering Jaime as a husband for Margaery instead, intending to have Jaime abdicate his place in the Kingsguard. Jaime refuses.[39] Tywin eventually agrees to betroth Tommen to Margaery.[41]

A Feast for Crows

[edit]
House Tyrell bannermen by Tomasz Jedruszek © Fantasy Flight Games

After the death of Lord Tywin Lannister, Tommen's Hand of the King, Dowager Queen Cersei Lannister takes over the regency. Cersei is mistrustful of the Tyrells, feeling they overreach themselves.[42] She suspects that they are trying to seize control of the kingdom, and her suspicion grows when Qyburn finds a Gardener coin in the cell where Tyrion Lannister had been held before his escape.[42] Qyburn tells her that the coin is similar to the ones Lady Olenna Tyrell carries with her when traveling, causing Cersei to wrongfully suspect a Tyrell involvement in Tyrion's escape.[43] Cersei commences a campaign of intrigue to remove Tyrells in King's Landing from positions of influence and authority, including Margaery and her brother Loras, a knight of the Kingsguard.[44]

Mace refuses to leave King's Landing until Margaery and Tommen are wed.[45] As such, Margaery marries King Tommen I Baratheon in a small ceremony in the Red Keep's royal sept, followed by a small feast.[46] His daughter now wed, Mace leaves King's Landing with Lord Mathis Rowan and half of the Tyrell strength to take Storm's End from Ser Gilbert Farring, while Ser Garlan takes the other half of the Tyrell forces back to the Reach to claim Brightwater Keep.[46] Lord Paxter Redwyne uses the Redwyne fleet to transport Lannister soldiers to Dragonstone, which is held by Rolland Storm.[43]

Margaery Tyrell by Carrie Best

Taena of Myr claims to the queen regent that Margaery is paying Cersei's maid Senelle to spy on Cersei for her.[46] Cersei asks Margaery leave to take Taena on as her own companion, and uses Taena to feed Margaery only the information she wants her to know, with most of it being untrue. Additionally, Taena informs Cersei of everything Margaery does.[43]

Margaery begins to instruct Tommen on his kingship, telling him he should sit on the Iron Throne and attend the small council meetings,[47] which earns her further hatred of Cersei, who plans to rule herself until Tommen comes of age.[44] Cersei becomes convinced that Margaery is attempting to steal Tommen from her.[48] Meanwhile, Margaery does much to gain favor with the residents of King's Landing by visiting local markets to buy fresh fruits, bread, and fish, ordering dresses from local seamstresses, and making great public shows of charity.[48]

After the taking of the Shields by the ironborn, Margaery insists that her father and his forces be allowed to return to the Reach, thereby abandoning the siege of Storm's End, and is shocked when Cersei seems to lack understanding for the threat posed by the ironborn. Ser Loras asks permission to take command of the siege of Dragonstone from Lord Redwyne, so the Redwyne fleet is no longer needed at the island and can return to the Reach to face the ironborn.[49] Although Loras is successful in taking Dragonstone, he is severely injured.[47]

In order to get rid of Margaery, Cersei attempts to frame her for adultery and treason.[50] When Margaery does not respond to the advances of Cersei's agent, Ser Osney Kettleblack,[44][48] Cersei has him falsely confess to the High Sparrow that he had intercourse with Margaery and her cousins, Elinor and Megga Tyrell.[51] Margaery and her cousins are subsequently arrested by the Faith and confined in the Great Sept. When Septa Moelle reports at court that Margaery's maidenhead has been broken, Grand Maester Pycelle reveals how he provided Margaery with moon tea on several occasions (as per Cersei's instructions). While she is confined by the Faith, Margaery is visited by Cersei and scolds her for framing her. A mob forms in front of the Great Sept, calling out Margaery's name.[52]

When he learns about his daughter's arrest, Lord Mace abandons the siege of Storm's End and marches most of his force back to King's Landing. His bannerman, Lord Randyll Tarly, leaves Maidenpool with his own army to give Margaery his aid.[52]

A Dance with Dragons

[edit]

The evidence against Margaery and her cousins is weak. As such, the High Sparrow agrees to hand them over into the custody of Lord Randyll Tarly, who has arrived in King's Landing.[53] Lord Mace Tyrell arrives next with his force, and refuses to leave the city until Margaery's trial is over and she is declared innocent, despite the Golden Company having landed in the stormlands.[53] Margaery plans to let the Faith sit in judgement of her.[54] Ser Kevan Lannister, King Tommen I Baratheon's new regent, names Mace the Hand of the King, while Mace's bannermen Randyll Tarly and Paxter Redwyne are made masters of justiciar and lord admiral, respectively.[53]

Kevan wonders why Mace insists on having his army present when Margaery faces her accusers, if she is as innocent as Mace would have them all believe.[55]

Quotes

[edit]

My most leal servants.[7]

The Tyrells are dolts.[57]

Tyrell swords will make me king.[2]

If truth be told, even our claim to Highgarden is a bit dodgy, just as those dreadful Florents are always whining.[5]

I tell you, these Tyrells are only Lannisters with flowers.[36]

The Tyrells were only stewards that the dragon-kings had upjumped far above their station. Their vanity was exceeded only by their ambition.[41]

—thoughts of Cersei Lannister

The more we give these Tyrells, the more they demand of us.[46]

—thoughts of Cersei Lannister

Rodrik: We have won some stones and trees and trinkets, and the enmity of House Tyrell.

Nute: The roses? What rose can harm the krakens of the deep? We have taken their shields from them, and smashed them all to pieces. Who will protect them now?

Rodrik: Highgarden. Soon enough all the power of the Reach will be marshaled against us, Barber, and then you may learn that some roses have steel thorns.[58]

Kevan Lannister was beginning to understand why Cersei had grown so resentful of the Tyrells.[55]

—thoughts of Kevan Lannister
