Changes: House Reyne

Latest revision as of 06:54, 13 March 2024

"When our vassals, the Reynes of Castamere, dared to rise up against the Lannisters, they learned how dangerous it can be to taunt a lion."

―Tywin Lannister recounts the Reyne-Tarbeck revolt.^[src]

House Reyne^[1] of Castamere is an extinct vassal house of the Westerlands, formerly sworn to House Lannister of Casterly Rock. Their seat was the castle of Castamere until it was torched during the Reyne-Tarbeck revolt, along with all members of the family.

History

Background

ReyneSigil — The red lion of House Reyne.

ReyneRebellion — The red lion of Reyne confronts the golden lion of Lannister.

For a time, House Reyne was the second wealthiest family in Westeros, behind House Lannister. They were not content with being the second wealthiest, however, and the last Lord Reyne built a castle as grand as Casterly Rock, and gave his wife diamonds to wear which were bigger than any that Tywin Lannister's wife Joanna ever wore.^[2]

Eventually, House Reyne openly challenged their liege-lords, feeling that House Lannister's rule over the Westerlands had grown weak under Tywin's ineffectual father Tytos Lannister. In response, however, the capable young Tywin Lannister marched his forces against the upstart Lord Reyne. At the end of the Reyne-Tarbeck revolt, Tywin's army put Castamere castle to the torch, and had all surviving members of House Reyne put to the sword - man, woman, and child - as an example to any vassals who would dare challenge the Lannisters in the future. Tywin subsequently had the corpses of the executed Reynes hanged from the gates of Casterly Rock on public display, where he left them to rot for the entire summer (it was a long summer, which lasted many years).^[3]^[4]^[2]

The destruction of House Reyne was immortalized in the song "The Rains of Castamere."^[3]

Game of Thrones: Season 3

Cersei Lannister recounts the story of House Reyne's demise to Margaery Tyrell just prior to her brother Tyrion's wedding to Sansa Stark, in an effort to intimidate her, as Cersei perceives House Tyrell as having a hidden agenda.^[2]

The song "The Rains of Castamere" is later performed scornfully during the Red Wedding, in which King Robb Stark's entire Northern army is slaughtered by House Bolton and House Frey in a coup devised with House Lannister.^[5]

Game of Thrones: Season 4

"The Rains of Castamere" is played during the wedding of King Joffrey Baratheon and Margaery Tyrell, though Joffrey cuts the performance short by tossing some money to the minstrels.

House Reyne's destruction is avenged, ironically enough by a Lannister, when Tyrion Lannister kills his father Tywin as revenge for the treatment he'd suffered.

Historical members

Ser {Martin Reyne}, a knight who lived during the Dance of the Dragons.
Lord {Roger Reyne}, known as the Red Lion of Castamere. Killed in the Reyne-Tarbeck revolt.
Ser {Reynard Reyne}, Roger's younger brother. Killed in the Reyne-Tarbeck revolt.
Lady {Ellyn Reyne}, Roger's younger sister, formerly betrothed to Tywald Lannister, married first to Ser Tion Lannister, and later to Lord Walderan Tarbeck, with whom she had three children. Killed in the fall of Tarbeck Hall.

With unspecified familiar relationship to the main branch there is also:

{Alys Reyne}, crowned queen of love and beauty by Ser Gwayne Gaunt at the Tourney of Brightwater Keep.

In the books

In the A Song of Ice and Fire novels, the Reynes were one of the richest and most powerful families in the Westerlands after the Lannisters. During their defiance against Casterly Rock and Lord Tytos Lannister, the Reynes rose alongside the ancient House Tarbeck of Tarbeck Hall. Both houses were totally annihilated by Tywin Lannister.

Notes

↑ In "The Kingsroad," Tyrion Lannister states that Tywin Lannister was Hand of the King for 20 years. In "Mad King Aerys - House Lannister," Tywin states that he resigned as Hand after Jaime Lannister was appointed to the Kingsguard in 278 AC. In "The Rains of Castamere," Jaime states that the Reyne-Tarbeck revolt occurred upon Tywin's return from the War of the Ninepenny Kings; therefore, Tywin put down the Reyne-Tarbeck revolt and became Aerys II Targaryen's Hand in 258 AC.
