Lord Mace Tyrell is Lord of Highgarden, Defender of the Marches, High Marshal of the Reach, and Warden of the South. Mace Tyrell is a prematurely old and rather tedious man lacking in political savvy. His sole military accomplishment is the Siege of Storm's End. Though he has tried to use the Battle of Ashford as evidence of strategic brilliance, he actually had little to do with the fighting. He now serves only as the figurehead of his powerful house for his more intelligent family members.
Willas Tyrell
Willas Tyrell is the eldest son and heir of Lord Mace Tyrell and Lady Alerie Hightower. Willas had his leg twisted as a child when he jousted against Oberyn Martell and since then had to walk with a cane, though Willas himself holds no grudge against Oberyn. While not a warrior Willas is an able leader, intelligent, gentle and courtly with a reputation for breeding the finest horses and hounds in the seven kingdoms.
Garlan Tyrell
Lord Garlan Tyrell, better known as Garlan the Gallant, is the second son of Lord Mace Tyrell and Lady Alerie Hightower. He was given the name the Gallant by his brother Willas, who did it to protect him when he was a fat child. He was raised to Lord of Brightwater Keep after the Battle of the Blackwater. He usually trains against three or four swordsmen, in anticipation of actual battle, and his brother Loras Tyrell, a knight of the Kingsguard, has acknowledged that Garlan is his superior at swordwork.
Loras Tyrell
Third and favorite son of Lord Mace Tyrell, nicknamed the Knight of Flowers, Loras is a young but highly skilled knight and jouster. He is described as slender and handsome and is beloved by the crowds.
Margaery Tyrell
The only daughter of Mace Tyrell, Margaery is an intelligent and shrewd young woman, and the protégé of her cunning grandmother, Olenna Redwyne. She is described as pretty, with softly curling brown hair, brown eyes and a slender yet shapely figure. She is sixteen years old.
Olenna Redwyne
Olenna Redwyne is the mother of Lord Mace Tyrell and described as a wizened, cunning old woman with a wicked wit and a sharp tongue, nicknamed "the Queen of Thorns."
