When disciplining unruly vassals, most lords send armies...

...my father Tywin only have to send a singer.

There is no faster way to dull a vassal's ambition...

...or any festive occasion than hearing The Rains of Castamere.

House Reyne of Castamere was an old and proud house...

...that was slowly sinking back into the muck.

Their mines had run dry.

Without gold, they turned to a more common source of wealth, daughters.

Lady Ellyn Reyne was betrothed to my great uncle...

...but when he fell in battle...

...Lady Ellyn sought comfort in his twin brother's bed...

...beating out the other woman he promised to marry.

Than the husband shared his twin's wife...

...shared his twin's death on a different battlefield.

Lady Ellyn flung herself at the new and married heir to the Rock...

...but my grandfather Tytos was more kitten than lion.

He ran away and told his wife of Lady Ellyn's designs...

...and Lady Ellyn soon found herself married off to Walderan Tarbeck...

...lord of another fainting house.

The Reynes and Tarbecks should have sank into obscurity together...

...and they would have if not for my grandfather becoming Lord of Casterly Rock.

At first the Westerlands laughed with the Laughing Lion...

...as The Jovial Tytos was called.

But when men realized this lion had neither teeth nor claws...

...they started to laughed at him.

None laughed harder than the Reynes and Tarbecks.

Though Lady Ellyn was no longer welcome at Casterly Rock...

...Tytos didn't refuse her brothers Roger and Reynard Reyne.

But even they asked for extravagant loans.

Thanks to our family's gold...

...Lady Ellyn restored Tarbeck Hall to a splendor she had known...

...since being cast out of her home.

When my grandfather broached the subject of repayment...

...Roger and Reynard only laughed.

And soon enough, my grandfather was laughing along with them.

Then my father Tywin returned from The War of the Ninepenny Kings...

...where he'd seen how the rest of the realm snickered at House Lannister.

Determines restore our proper place...

...my father demanded the immediate repayment of all debts to the Rock...

...or a hostage from those who couldn't pay.

Reynard Reyne merely laughed when he received the raven.

Lord Walderan Tarbeck chose to ride Casterly Rock...

...sure that he could cow Lord Tytos into ascending my father's commands.

He could have, except it wasn't Tytos who met him at the gates...

...my father, who had Lord Walderan thrown into a dungeon.

Lady Ellyn protest it...

...The Reynes threatened war and finally my grandfather broke...

...release Lord Tarbeck with an apology notice.

As if bathing himself in shame...

...Tytos, further forgave all the Tarbeck debts to our house.

To celebrate the end of hostilities, Lord Roger feasted Tytos at Castamere...

...and two lords proclaimed their friendship for eternity.

My father allowed eternity to last a year.

When he summon the Reynes and Tarbecks to Casterly Rock...

...to answer for their crimes...

...they rose and revolt exactly as he expected.

Their defiance gave him a pretext to call his banners...

...and ride for Tarbeck Hall and Castamere with an army behind him.

He didn't even bother to inform my grandfather.

My father's army descended on Tarbeck so quickly...

...that Lord Walderan had no time to gather his forces.

And rode against my father with only his household knights.

Soon his head, his sons head...

...and the heads of any man with Tarbeck blood...

...adorned the spears of the Lannister vanguard...

...as it march to Tarbeck Hall.

At their approach, Lady Ellyn Tarbeck closed the gates...

...and sent ravens to her brothers at Castamere.

She assumed they'd have more than enough time to muster their armies...

...and break what would be a long siege.

My father had trebuchets up in a day...

...and brought down the keep within hours.

Lady Ellyn and his son were crushed in its fall.

When the Tarbeck forces surrendered...

...my father put their castle to the torch.

Roger Reyne arrived with his army just in time to see...

...the flames consuming his sisters home.

He charged my father's camp...

...hoping surprise would win out over my father's greater numbers.

It didn't.

With half of his men dead on the field and a cross bolt in his back...

...Lord Roger fled back to Castamere.

The Lannister host arrived at Castamere three days later.

Like Casterly Rock, the seed of House Reyne had begun as a mine.

When the gold gave out...

...the mine shafts were widened into holes, galleries...

...and bed chambers deep beneath the earth.

The Reyne brothers didn't have the men to defend the castle walls...

...and retreated into their underground stronghold.

From this relative safety...

...they offered terms to my father to avoid a long siege.

My father didn't reply.

Instead, he commanded that the mines be sealed with stoe and soil...

...until there was no way in and no way out.

When that was completed...

...it took less than a day to dam the stream...

...and only two to divert it to the nearest mine entrance.

Reynes had taken more than 300 men, women and children into the mines.

A few guards reported hearing faint screams and shouts below than one night.

But when come dawn, the earth was silent once again.

"And now the rains weep o'er their halls"

"with no one left to hear."
