Axel Tully

Lord Axel Tully was a member of House Tully who built Riverrun.
==Biography==
Due to the Riverlands' lack of natural defenses, Axel decided to construct the castle Riverrun for House Tully. He raised it where Red Fork and the Tumblestone rivers meet. The castle was built with water to each side. This forced soldiers to cross the river in order to breach the castle. Those wearing armor would drown, and would otherwise be within range of archers placed on the battlements.
==In the books==
In the A Song of Ice and Fire novels, Axel Tully was the first Lord of Riverrun. He was the son of Ser Edmure Tully, a turncoat who supported the Andal warlord Armistead Vance following the death of the King of the Rivers and the Hills, Tristifer IV Mudd. It was from Vance that Axel received the grant of lands upon which he built Riverrun.
