History Of House Tyrell-To Preset Valaryian Time

Highgarden is a castle which serves as the seat of House Tyrell, the regional capital of the Reach, and the heart of chivalry in the Seven Kingdoms. It lies on the Mander and is where the Ocean Road meets the Roseroad, making it an important crossroads.[1]

Mace Tyrell is the Lord of Highgarden. The castle's household includes Lord Seneschal Garth Tyrell, Maester Lomys, the master-at-arms Ser Vortimer Crane, and the fool Butterbumps.[2] Igon Vyrwel is the captain of the castle guards.[2]

House Gardener:
Highgarden is said to have been built by Garth the Gardener atop a hill overlooking the Mander.[7] Highgarden was the center of the Reach proper, and the Kings of the Reach from House Gardener grew to acquire what has become the Reach.[8] During the Andal invasion of Westeros, King Mern II Gardener built a curtain wall about the castle. The Andals were ultimately welcomed into the Reach, however, and King Garth IX Gardener built the first sept at Highgarden, although he continued to worship in its godswood. House Tyrell became the hereditary stewards of the castle.[9]

Highgarden was sacked by Dornishmen during the reign of King Garth X Gardener, and the Gardener's Oakenseat was destroyed. The castle was rebuilt by Garth's cousin, King Mern VI Gardener.[9]

The peaceful Harmund II Hoare, King of the Iron Islands, once visited Highgarden and Oldtown.[10]

House Tyrell:
Highgarden was the seat of House Gardener until Aegon the Conqueror defeated King Mern IX Gardener and his host on the Field of Fire, ending their line. When Aegon then marched his host to Highgarden, its steward, Harlen Tyrell, surrendered the castle. For this, Aegon granted him the castle and gave House Tyrell dominion over the Reach as the Lord Paramount of the Mander.[11][12] However, other houses, such as the Florents, Rowans, and Oakhearts, also claim blood ties to the Gardeners and covet Highgarden.[5]

During the reign of King Jaehaerys I Targaryen, the Tyrells hosted the famed Tourney of the Field of Roses.[3] The Tyrells were neutral during the Dance of the Dragons, so Ser Ulf the White wanted to be rewarded with Highgarden. He was poisoned after the Second Battle of Tumbleton, however.[13]

While a squire to Arlan of Pennytree, Ser Duncan the Tall once served at Highgarden, where he met Leo Longthorn.[14] Prince Daeron Targaryen squired at Highgarden with Jeremy Norridge.[15]

Samwell Tarly saw Highgarden when his father, Lord Randyll Tarly, visited Lord Mace Tyrell, Warden of the South.[16] Princess Arianne Martell wanted to meet Mace's heir, Willas, but Prince Doran Martell forbid his daughter from going to Highgarden.[17]
