The Tyrells are descendants of the Andals, they are the Lords of Highgarden, Lords Paramount of the Reach, and Wardens of the South. Tyrell knights are models of chivalry throughout the Seven Kingdoms.

The Tyrells were the High Stewards of Highgarden at the time of Aegon’s landing. The Tyrells served faithfully under House Gardener until the combined forces of King Mern Gardener Ninth of His Name, King of the Reach and Lord of Highgarden and King Loren Lannister, First of His Name, King of the Rock and Lord of Casterly Rock were defeated on the Field of Fire by Aegon the Conquer and his dragons three. While King Loren bent the knee to Aegon Targaryen, King Mern and his two sons were burnt alive by his dragons while riding in the vanguard. 

Harlen Tyrell, High Steward of Highgarden, bent the knee to the Dragon in the aftermath of the Field of Fire. For his fealty, Aegon Tarygaryen named Harlen Tyrell Lord of Highgarden, Lord Paramount of the Mander, and Warden of the South in spite of his weak blood ties to House Gardener. Harlen disappeared in Dorne during the First Dornish War.

During the Dance of the Dragons, Lyonel Tyrell was Lord of Highgarden; he was, however, an infant. Lord Lyonel’s mother was his regent and despite her anticipated support for the Greens, House Tyrell remained neutral. The sworn houses of Tyrell were split between Black and Green during the Dance of the Dragons.

Three battles were fought in the Reach during the dance. the first on the Honeywine. Hightower forces were crippled by Reachmen who supported the black; the intervention of Prince Daeron Targaryen and his dragon saved the Hightower forces from complete destruction. The second and third battles were fought over Tumbleton, near the border of the Crownlands. Two of Queen Rhaenyra’s dragonseeds turned traitor and joined Prince Daeron of House Targaryen in sacking the city. Three of the green’s dragons died after the Second Battle of Tumbleton, however the city itself was not lost. The crippling loss of the rideable dragons at Tumbleton stopped the greens from sacking Kings Landing.

After the war the Reachmen returned to their houses bloodied and bruised to lick their wounds. House Tyrell sent a small contingency of knights to Tumbleton to help keep the peace. All in all, Tyrell came out of the Dance of the Dragons nearly intact. The Hightowers had proven loyal bannermen by defending Highgarden from Ser Ulf the White

[b]Lady Leonette of House Redwyne, Lady Regent of Highgarden, High Marshal of the Reach, Warden of the South, Lady Paramount of the Mander[/b]
Twenty Years of Age[/center]

[i]As written by Ryam Florent, Maester of Highgarden in The Lords and Ladies of Highgarden:[/i]

Lady Leonette was thrust into regency at the age of 16. Though naive to the world of Westerosi politcs, Lady Leonette relied heavily on a group of advisors: Ser Moryn Flowers Castellan of Highgarden, Ryam Florent Maester of Highgarden, and Septa Rhea Graceford in her early years. Though now, at the end of the Dance of the Dragons, she’s beginning to stand her own in the courts. Lady Leonette recognized that House Tyrell had lost a great deal of repute both with the Realm and with her own bannermen when she had opted out of the Dance of the Dragons. She made it her goal to restore the house’s reputation and influence over King’s Landing and over the Reachmen before her son comes of age.

Lady Leonette of House Redwyne was the firstborn daughter and thirdborn child of Lord Jafer of House Redwyne, Lady Leonette was born 112AC to Lady Elinor of House Hightower who died in childbirth.

Lady Leonette came to Highgarden at 12 years of age and served as handmaiden under Lady Lynesse of House Florent who had mothered Lord Alester of House Tyrell. At the time Lord Alester was 32 years of age and had already fathered a bastard son and two daughters by his late wife: Lady Lysa of House Hightower who had died of fever. Lady Leonette served two years under Lady Lynesse before she first bled. Lord Jafer Redwyne sent a raven to Lord Luthor of House Tyrell, Lord of Highgarden, High Marshal of the Reach, Warden of the South and Lord Paramount of the Mander to wed their children. Lord Alester was 34 and Lady Leonette was 14 when they were wed.

128AC at the age of 36 Lord Alester gained the titles Lord of Highgarden, High Marshal of the Reach, Warden of the South and Lord Paramount of the Mander on the death of his father. That year he also fathered his firstborn son Lord Lyonel Tyrell shortly before falling three stories to his own death in a drunken stupor. Lord Lyonel gained the titles of Lord of Highgarden, High Marshal of the Reach, Warden of the South and Lord Paramount of the Mander which he passed to Leonette of House Redwyne, his mother and Lady Regent.

The Dance of the Dragons broke out in 129AC, Lady Leonette kept House Tyrell neutral in the war to come despite anticipation of her intervening on behalf of the greens and allying with the Redwynes and the powerful Hightowers. After the war, her castellan recommended sending Tyrell knights to Tumbleton, the scene of the most intense fighting in the Reach and so it was.

Ser Jon slew six of Lord Roderick’s Winter Wolves at the First Battle of Tumbleton. Ser Jon slew four men at the Second Battle of Tumbleton before retreating with the Hightower host. 

Ser Jon became a hedge-knight in 130AC after the Hightowers retreated into the Reach. Ser Jon slew a total of three and twenty soldiers committing banditry under the colors of House Tarly, House Florent, House Peake, House Hightower and House Crane.

[b]Lady Desmera of House Tyrell, Firstborn Daughter of Lord Alester of House Tyrell[/b]
Six and Ten Years of Age[/center]

[i]Maester Ryam Florent in The Lords and Ladies of Highgarden:[/i]

Lady Desmera has always excelled in her studies, particularly in manners of court for which the ladies of House Tyrell are renowned. She and Lady Leonette oft practice in the great hall when the court is closed, she may well be the primary reason for Lady Leonette’s distancing herself from her council. Whatever the reason, Lady Desmera is a great asset to this house and a brilliant example for the ladies of House Tyrell. She first bled in 131AC and has hence remained unmarried.

Lady Desmera is the firstborn daughter of Lady Lysa of House Hightower and Lord Alester of House Tyrell, born 116AC. Lady Lysa caught fever and died in 119AC while Lady Desmera was only three years of age. Lord Alester remarried in 126AC to Lady Leonette of House Redwyne who is only four years Lady Desmera’s senior. Lady Desmera showed contempt towards her young step-mother but as the years have passed the two have developed what she calls "a close sister-like bond."
