HOUSE TYRELL

The Tyrells rose to power as stewards to the Kings of the Reachxyxy, whose domain included the fertile plains of the southwest from the Dornish marchesxy and Blackwaterxy Rushxy to the shores of the Sunset Seaxy. Through the female line, they claim descent from Garthxy Greenhandxy, gardener king of the First Menxy, who wore a crown of vines and flowers and made the land bloom. When Kingxy Mern, last of the old line, perished on the Field of Firexy, his steward Harlen Tyrellxyxy surrendered Highgardenxy to Aegonxy Targaryenxyxy, pledging fealty. Aegonxy granted him the castle and dominion over the Reachxy. The Tyrellxy sigil is a golden rose on a grass-green field. Their words are Growing Strongxy.
