House Gardener Is Born

Introduction-The Connection To House Tyrell

**House**
Tyrell of Highgarden **is one of the Great**
Houses of the Seven
Kingdoms, being Lords
Paramount of the Mander and the liege lords of the Reach.
A large, wealthy house, its wealth is only surpassed among the Great
Houses by House
Lannister, and the Tyrells can field the greatest armies.
Additionally, if they call the ships of the Redwyne
fleet, the lords of the Shield
Islands, and the coastal lords, they can command a navy that
equals if not surpasses the royal
fleet of King's
Landing.

Highgarden
is an ancient seat of rule and the heart of chivalry in the Seven
Kingdoms;[1]
the Tyrells style themselves 'Defenders
of the Marches' and 'High
Marshals of the Reach', and traditionally, they have been Wardens
of the South in addition to Lords Paramount of the Mander. Their
sigil is a golden rose on a green field, and their words are "Growing
Strong".[2]
Members of the family tend to have curly brown hair[2][3][4]
and brown eyes.[5][4]

**Kingdom Of The Reach**

Unlike most other Great
Houses, the Tyrells never ruled as kings.[5]
Instead, they trace their line of descent through the female line to
the legendary Garth
the Gardener, the mythical first King
of the Reach reigning in the Age
of Heroes, and the son of the equally mythic Garth
Greenhand.[6]
Members of House
Gardener, the ruling house of the Kingdom
of the Reach, periodically intermarried with lower ranking houses
of the Reach such as House Tyrell.[7]

The Tyrells served as stewards
to House
Gardener.[8]
Ser Alester
Tyrell, the founder of the house, was an Andal
knight and
adventurer who showed such prowess at arms that he was named the
champion and sworn
shield of King Gwayne
V Gardener, the last of the Three
Sage Kings.[8][7]
Ser Alester's eldest son also became a notable knight, but died in a
tourney. Alester's second son, Gareth,
was of a more bookish bent and never achieved knighthood, choosing
instead to serve as a royal steward. He and his son Leo
performed their duties so well, the Gardeners made the office of High
Steward hereditary. It is from Gareth that today’s Tyrells
descend.[7]

During the minority of King Garland
VI Gardener, a member of House Tyrell ruled the Reach
in his name as Regent.[7]

When Lords Manderly
and Peake
instigated a civil war to see their respective wives, both daughters
to the senile old King Garth
X Gardener, succeed as Queen of the Reach, Ser Osmund
Tyrell, the High
Steward of Highgarden, led an alliance of twoscore houses to put
down the rebels and reclaimed the ruins of Highgarden
which had been sacked by a Dornish
king and his raiders. Ser Osmund placed a second cousin of the late
Garth X, who has been killed by the raiders, upon the new throne as
King Mern
VI Gardener.[8]

Relying on the able counsel of Ser Osmund, and later Osmund's son Ser
Robert
Tyrell, and finally Robert's son Lorent
Tyrell, King Mern ruled well, rebuilding Highgarden
and doing much and more to restore the power of the Reach
and House Gardener.[8]
Mern VI was so pleased with them that he gave Ser Robert the hand of
his youngest daughter in marriage, thereby allowing the following
generations of Tyrells to claim decent from Garth
Greenhand.[7]
That was the first marriage between the two houses, and nine more
unions followed in the passing centuries.[7]

But, in order to better understand the true history of House
Tyrell, though they did not keep good accurate dated records as some
parts of the kingdoms of the known world, we must come to accept just
how far back the House Of Tyrell goes. In fact, the House Of Tyrells
adopted as their founder, the House of Gardener, which goes even
further back, to which is rumored, the union between House Gardener
and House Tyrell. Thus, we mut go even further back, and by such
adoption by the House Of Tyrell, takes us back to being as old or
nearly as old as Ancient City of Valaryia and the original homelands
of House Targaryen, Valaryon (The low-born race for that time period)
and the other surviving house of ancient Valaryia. The Valaryians at
that time, would have been the equivalent, to the ancient cities of
Planet Earth; of the Human world, known in the Pacific as the City of
Pacifia, and in the Atlantic, known as the City Of Atlantis….

INFLUENCES~Comparison
Of Tragedies:

It is possible that
the titanic clashes between Valyria and Old Empire of Ghis are
inspired by the Punic
Wars between Rome
and Carthage over
control of the Mediterranean.
Valyria's advanced technology and magic, as well as the Doom, may be
inspired by the legends of Atlantis.

It is the ancestral home of House
Targaryen, House
Celtigar, and House
Velaryon.[1]
