House Tyrell of Highgarden is one of the Great Houses of Westeros. It rules over the Reach, a vast, fertile, and heavily-populated region of southwestern Westeros, from their castle-seat, Highgarden. It is currently led by Lord Mace Tyrell, although his mother, the indomitable Olenna Tyrell, still wields considerable influence over the House’s affairs and is usually considered the true leader of the family. Mace’s son Loras is a noted tournament knight (and, secretly, the lover of Lord Renly Baratheon). Mace’s daughter Margaery married Renly when he crowned himself king, to cement the alliance between Renly and her father. Following Renly’s death, Margaery was then married to King Joffrey Baratheon before his assassination at his wedding feast. She is now married to the king, Tommen Baratheon.
