Fall of Tarbeck Hall

The fall of Tarbeck Hall is the first engagement of the Reyne-Tarbeck revolt. It resulted in the destruction of Tarbeck Hall and the extinction of House Tarbeck."The Rains of Castamere"
==History==
===Prelude===
Shortly after the opening of the Reyne-Tarbeck revolt, Tywin Lannister's host quickly attacked Lord Walderan Tarbeck before he could gather his forces, shrinking Lord Tarbeck's defenses to merely his household knights. After the Lannisters met the Tarbecks, Walderan and his kin were beheaded and their heads were placed on the spears of the Lannister vanguard.
===The siege===
As the Lannister army approached Tarbeck Hall, Lady Ellyn Reyne, Walderan's widow, closed the gates and sent ravens to her family at Castamere, hoping to wait out the siege until her brothers arrived with the Reyne army.
===The assault===
However, Tywin had made all preparations for an assault on the castle within just a day. Trebuchets were used to destroy the castle, ultimately killing Lady Ellyn and her son Tion. What was left of the castle was burned.
===The battle===
Lord Roger Reyne arrived at Tarbeck Hall shortly after it was torched, and charged at Tywin's camp hoping that the element of surprise would give him the upper hand. However, half of the Reyne host was killed and Lord Roger was wounded with a cross bolt in the back. With only defeat in sight, Roger fled back to Castamere.
===Aftermath===
====House Tarbeck====
The death of Tion Tarbeck marked the end of his house, and Tarbeck Hall has remained in ruins ever since its destruction.
====House Reyne====
With Lord Reyne retreating to Castamere, the Lannister army followed him and arrived three days later. House Reyne would too suffer an extinction event, with every remaining member of the family drowning in the mines of Castamere.
