Description

House Tyrell is a Great House of Westeros, ruling over the fertile region of the Reach. They are known for their wealth, cunning, and political savvy, and are based in the castle of Highgarden.

According to legend, the Tyrells can trace their ancestry back to Garth Greenhand, a legendary figure who is said to have been the first King of the Reach. Garth is said to have had a hundred sons, each of whom founded a new house in the region.

The Tyrells rose to prominence after they sided with the Targaryens during Aegon's Conquest, helping them to defeat the King of the Reach. As a reward for their loyalty, they were granted the title of Lords of Highgarden and a seat on the small council.

Throughout their history, House Tyrell has been one of the most powerful and wealthy houses in Westeros. They are known for their political savvy and the alliances they have cultivated with other noble houses to strengthen their power.

During the War of the Five Kings, House Tyrell initially remained neutral, but eventually aligned themselves with the Lannisters to defeat Stannis Baratheon at the Battle of the Blackwater. This alliance solidified their power and influence in the Seven Kingdoms, and they became one of the most prominent houses in the royal court.

In addition to their political astuteness, House Tyrell is also known for their wealth and prosperity. The Reach is one of the most fertile regions in Westeros, and Highgarden is surrounded by vast fields of crops, vineyards, and orchards. The Tyrells' wealth has allowed them to maintain a large army and a fleet of ships, which they use to protect their interests and expand their power.

As one of the most significant houses in Westeros, House Tyrell has played a crucial role in many of the major events and conflicts in the Seven Kingdoms. Their alliances and political maneuvering have often been instrumental in shaping the course of Westerosi history.
