House Tyrell. Words: "Growing Strong."
House Tyrell, seated in the agriculturally rich area of Westeros known as Highgarden, initially pledged its allegiance in the war to Renly Baratheon, sealing the alliance with a marriage between Renly and Margaery Tyrell (Natalie Dormer). But Renly's death inspired the Tyrells to shift in favor of the Lannisters. In fact, it was Highgarden's forces that came to Joffrey's aid at the battle of Blackwater Bay, which Joffrey rewarded by pledging to marry Margaery Tyrell.
This marriage stands to substantially increase the family's political power, although in the realm of political strategy, the thorns of House Tyrell can be just as deadly as the claws of the lions of Lannister.
