Tymond Lannister

Tymond Lannister was heir to Casterly Rock and a leading marriage prospect for Daella Targaryen, but his wealth and striking appearance were balanced by a reputation for womanizing and drinking. By the Great Council of 101 AC, he was Lord of Casterly Rock and arrived with a retinue of three hundred men, a display of the scale with which the realm’s great lords attended the succession assembly.

Identity and Prospects

When Queen Alysanne considered possible husbands for Daella, Ser Tymond Lannister was twenty years old and heir to Casterly Rock and its wealth. He was described as lithe and slender, with long golden mustachios and matching hair, and was considered one of the handsomest men in the realm. Marriage to him would have placed Daella in Casterly Rock, regarded as the most impregnable castle in Westeros.

Reputation and Marriage Suitability

Tymond’s advantages came with a significant reservation: he was said to be overly fond of women and even fonder of wine. His candidacy therefore juxtaposed security, riches, and appearance with concerns about his personal conduct. The evidence records him among the three suitors offered to Daella, but does not say that she chose him or that the proposed match took place.

Lord of Casterly Rock

At the Great Council of Harrenhal of 101 AC, Tymond is identified as Lord of Casterly Rock. He brought three hundred men to the gathering, which drew more than a thousand lords and vast retinues of attendants to Harrenhal. His contingent marked the political and material weight of his house at an assembly convened to decide the succession to the Iron Throne; the council ultimately selected Viserys Targaryen, though the account does not assign Tymond a specific position in the debate or vote.
