They have interconnections with a lot of other power-players (including antagonistic ones) by blood and marriage ties - and, some of those, they're ready to turn on, if pushed.
Big, Screwed-Up Family: Mainly, a notable (and rare for the series) inversion. Olenna is one too for a certain value, being one of the most skilled plotters in the kingdom, and Margaery seems to have picked up some of her grandmother's skills. Badass Family: Most of them: Loras and Garlan are two of the deadliest knights in the kingdom. On the War of the Five Kings, the Florents and the Tyrells become part of two royal families (the Houses Baratheon of Dragonstone and King's Landing), but the Florents are still considerably less powerful than the Tyrells. Because of the Tyrells' exponential rise in power since the Conquest the conflict between the houses has been mostly one-sided, as the Tyrells don't quite care about the Florents that much. The traditional rivals of the Tyrells on the Reach are the Florents. Cersei even uses this against them, having Mace leave the capital to lay siege to Storm's End yet again, and sending Loras on a disastrous mission to take Stannis's seat of Dragonstone. The Tyrells are so distracted by Stannis and other opposing threats that they nearly lose sight of the true enemy that is their own ally: Cersei Lannister. There's also the fact that the Tyrells now need Stannis dead since they have attached themselves to the false Baratheons on the Iron Throne Stannis denying their legitimacy hurts House Tyrell's legitimacy. After aligning with the Lannisters following Renly's demise and helping to spectacularly defeat Stannis at The Battle of Blackwater, it is highly unlikely that he will ever forget about that. While the Tyrells sought to influence both Robert and Renly, they never even tried Stannis. He's also married into a house that used to be House Tyrell's rival in The Reach. Stannis has not forgiven Mace Tyrell's lounging and feasting while his siege of Storm's End left Stannis, his family and his men to starve for over a year. Arch-Enemy: The modern Tyrells primarily oppose Stannis Baratheon. The Tyrells are, as of 299 AC, part of the Royal Family via the marriage of Margaery Tyrell with the claimant King Renly I of the House Baratheon of Storm's End, and as of 300 AC with the Kings Joffrey I and later Tommen I of the House Baratheon of Kings Landing. The Tyrells claim descent from Garth the Gardener through the female line, having married to an Andal Tyrell knight in service to the Gardeners. It is not stated whether the Tyrells had a keep or had claims to lands before Aegon the Conqueror. There were counted occasions where the Tyrells momentarily ruled the Reach as regents in place of the Gardeners in absence, being the only noble house from the Reach ever to do so. Their sigil is a golden rose on a green field.īefore the fall of the Gardeners, the Tyrells were a knightly house who became the High Stewards of Highgarden for the Kings of the Reach note a job that Gareth Tyrell and his son Leo did so well, that the Gardeners made it hereditary. They are extremely popular with the smallfolk of King's Landing. #A song of ice and fire tv tropes series#
Though they started out the series by allying with Renly, they eventually went over to House Lannister.
The current Tyrells are a rich and powerful house, but their patriarch Mace Tyrell is a fat oaf. The Conqueror rewarded them by naming the Tyrells overlords of the Reach, even though there were likely Houses with better lines of descent. Originally, the Tyrells were stewards to the reigning Gardener Kings, but after Aegon I Targaryen wiped out the last of the Gardeners, the Tyrells yielded the castle up to him. The Lords Paramount of the Reach and Wardens of the South from their flowery seat at Highgarden.
