===Early life===
 +
Ellyn was described as a strong-willed, hot-tempered, and ambitious woman who dreamed of not only marrying into the wealthy [[House Lannister]], but of also making herself the Lady of [[Casterly Rock]].
  
Her father, Lord [[Robert Reyne]] due to his Houses position and wealth had little trouble arranging his daughter's betrothal to the heir of Casterly Rock, Ser [[Tywald Lannister]] who would inherit the Rock upon the death of his sire Lord [[Gerold Lannister|Gerold the Golden]]. However both Ellyn's betrothed and father were slain during the [[Peake Uprising]] in {{Date|233}}. Ellyn didn't let her "grief" get in the way of her ambition and managed to seduce the new heir [[Tion Lannister|Tion]] into marrying her, despite the fact that Tion at that time was already arranged to marry a daughter of [[House Rowan|Lord Rowan]]. Lord Gerold, having witnessed how quickly Ellyn acted so soon after the death of both her father and her betrothed deeply opposed this match, but the ailing twice widowed Lord who was now a ghost of his former self due to grief, age and illness, eventually let his son follow his heart.

Due to [[House Reyne]]'s position and wealth, Lord [[Robert Reyne]] had little trouble arranging his daughter's betrothal to Ser [[Tywald Lannister]], the heir of [[Gerold Lannister|Gerold the Golden]], Lord of [[Casterly Rock]]. However, Ellyn's betrothed and father were slain during the [[Peake Uprising]] in {{Date|233}}. Ellyn seduced the new heir, [[Tion Lannister|Tion]], even though Tion was betrothed to a daughter of Lord [[House Rowan|Rowan]]. Gerold, having witnessed how quickly Ellyn acted after the deaths of Robert and Tywald, opposed this match, but the ailing lord eventually let his son follow his heart.   
  
Ellyn was married to Tion Lannister, the second son of Lord Gerold now the new heir. With Lord Gerold twice widowed and refusing to remarry, Ellyn became the Lady of Casterly Rock in all but name. Ellyn in her time at the Court of Casterly Rock became a rival of [[Tytos Lannister]]'s wife [[Jeyne Marbrand]]. As her good father retreated more into his books and bed chamber. Lady Ellyn held a splendid court, hosting tournaments and balls. The Court was filled with musicians, artists and mummers. She also used her new position to empower her own [[House Reyne|house]]. Her brothers [[Roger Reyne|Roger]] and [[Reynard Reyne|Reynard]] were ever at her side and Ellyn lavished them with offices, honors and lands. She did similarly with her cousins, uncles and other kin. Lord Gerold Lannister's aged and hunchbacked fool known as [[Lord Toad]] was heard to say, ''"Lady Ellyn must surely be a sorceress, for she made it rain inside the Rock all year."''{{ref|twoiaf| House Lannister under the Dragons}}
+
===House Lannister===
 +
Lady Ellyn married [[Tion Lannister]] in {{Date|235}}. With Lord [[Gerold Lannister]] twice widowed and refusing to remarry, Ellyn became the Lady of Casterly Rock in all but name. As Gerold became less involved with ruling, Ellyn became a rival of [[Jeyne Marbrand]], the wife of the thirdborn son of Gerold, [[Tytos Lannister]]. Ellyn hosted [[tourney]]s and balls, and her splendid court was filled with musicians, artists, and mummers. She also used her new position to empower [[House Reyne]]. Ellyn lavished her kin—including her brothers [[Roger Reyne|Roger]] and [[Reynard Reyne|Reynard]]—with offices, honors and lands.  
  
Ellyn's saw her dream of becoming Lady of the Rock shatter once again when her husband perished fighting in the [[Fourth Blackfyre Rebellion]]. The loss of another son instead of breaking Lord Gerold roused him from his grief. Since no children had come from Ellyn and Tion's brief marriage, it meant that Lord Gerold's third son, the weak willed and unpromising Tytos was by all the laws the new heir. Gerold  intent on doing all he could to prepare his new heir to succeed him, once again took firm hold of the [[The Westerlands|Westerlands]]. The Reign of the Reynes was at an end. Her brothers departed the Rock along with many other of her kin.
+
Tion perished fighting in the [[Fourth Blackfyre Rebellion]], dying without issue. To prepare Tytos for rule, Gerold became involved in the affairs of the [[westerlands]] again and most of the Reynes departed for [[Castamere]]. Ellyn due to the [[Widow's Law]] remained at the Rock, but her influence declined in favor of Tytos's wife, Jeyne. According to [[Maester]] [[Beldon]], Ellyn unsuccessfully attempted to bed Tytos.{{Ref|TWOIAF| The Westerlands: House Lannister Under the Dragons}}
  
Ellyn remained at the Rock, but her influence was fading fast, as her good sister [[Jeyne Marbrand|Jeyne's]] was rising. The rivalry between the two increased exponentially and became according to the writings of [[Beldon|Maester Beldon]] truly ugly.
+
===House Tarbeck===
 +
Lord [[Gerold Lannister]] had Ellyn hastily wed to the widowed [[Walderan Tarbeck]], the fifty-five-year-old Lord of [[Tarbeck Hall]]. [[Lord Toad]], the [[fool]] at [[Casterly Rock]], called the rivalry between Ellyn and Jeyne the [[War of the Wombs]]. According to a semi-canon source,<ref>georgerrmartin.com: ''[[The World of Ice & Fire]]'', The Westerlands [http://www.georgerrmartin.com/world-of-ice-and-fire-sample/ unabridged version]</ref> With Walderan Ellyn had two daughters, [[Rohanne Tarbeck|Rohanne]] and [[Cyrelle Tarbeck|Cyrelle]], and a son, [[Tion Tarbeck|Tion]].
  
Ellyn was then very hastily wed to the widowed Lord [[Walderan Tarbeck]] who was fifty-five at the time. According to Maester Beldon, the rumor was that in {{date|239}} the widowed Ellyn tried to seduce the already married Tytos Lannister so he would set aside his first wife for her. Tytos apparently was so intimidated by her that he failed to perform, humiliated and in shame confessed to his wife who forgave him but not her good sister, thus Jeyne informed her good-father Lord [[Gerold Lannister]]. Lord Gerold was furious and quickly arranged the match to rid [[Casterly Rock]] of Ellyn, much to the delight of Lady Jeyne. The rivalry between the two women didn't abate but only increase and intensify throughout the years, in what Lord Toad called the ''war of the wombs''. Though Ellyn had failed to produce an heir for Tion she proved more fertile for Lord Walderran (who it should be noted had a number of older sons from his first two marriages) and over the years Ellyn gave her new husband two daughters and a son.{{ref|twoiaf| House Lannister under the Dragons}}

Ellyn Reyne, also known as Ellyn Tarbeck, was a noblewoman of House Reyne who married into first House Lannister and later House Tarbeck. She was the daughter of Lord Robert Reyne and the sister of Lord Roger Reyne, the Red Lion of Castemere, and Ser Reynard Reyne.[2]

History

Early life

Ellyn was described as a strong-willed, hot-tempered, and ambitious woman who dreamed of not only marrying into the wealthy House Lannister, but of also making herself the Lady of Casterly Rock.

Due to House Reyne's position and wealth, Lord Robert Reyne had little trouble arranging his daughter's betrothal to Ser Tywald Lannister, the heir of Gerold the Golden, Lord of Casterly Rock. However, Ellyn's betrothed and father were slain during the Peake Uprising in 233 AC. Ellyn seduced the new heir, Tion, even though Tion was betrothed to a daughter of Lord Rowan. Gerold, having witnessed how quickly Ellyn acted after the deaths of Robert and Tywald, opposed this match, but the ailing lord eventually let his son follow his heart.

House Lannister

Lady Ellyn married Tion Lannister in 235 AC. With Lord Gerold Lannister twice widowed and refusing to remarry, Ellyn became the Lady of Casterly Rock in all but name. As Gerold became less involved with ruling, Ellyn became a rival of Jeyne Marbrand, the wife of the thirdborn son of Gerold, Tytos Lannister. Ellyn hosted tourneys and balls, and her splendid court was filled with musicians, artists, and mummers. She also used her new position to empower House Reyne. Ellyn lavished her kin—including her brothers Roger and Reynard—with offices, honors and lands.

Tion perished fighting in the Fourth Blackfyre Rebellion, dying without issue. To prepare Tytos for rule, Gerold became involved in the affairs of the westerlands again and most of the Reynes departed for Castamere. Ellyn due to the Widow's Law remained at the Rock, but her influence declined in favor of Tytos's wife, Jeyne. According to Maester Beldon, Ellyn unsuccessfully attempted to bed Tytos.[2]

House Tarbeck

Lord Gerold Lannister had Ellyn hastily wed to the widowed Walderan Tarbeck, the fifty-five-year-old Lord of Tarbeck Hall. Lord Toad, the fool at Casterly Rock, called the rivalry between Ellyn and Jeyne the War of the Wombs. According to a semi-canon source,[4] With Walderan Ellyn had two daughters, Rohanne and Cyrelle, and a son, Tion.

Ellyn was present at the feast in the westerlands when the betrothal of Tytos's daughter, Genna Lannister, to Emmon Frey was announced. Ellyn laughed, probably because she did not find it a good match.[5] Ellyn used House Lannister's wealth to rebuild Tarbeck Hall.[2]

When Ser Tywin Lannister, the heir of Lord Tytos, demanded that debts owed to Casterly Rock be repaid, Walderan tried to intimidate Tytos but was subsequently imprisoned by Tywin. Ellyn took hostage two Lannisters of Lannisport, as well as Stafford Lannister, whose sister Joanna was betrothed to Tywin.[5] Ellyn let Tytos know that she would kill the Lannisters if he harmed her husband Walderan. Although Tywin advised to send Lord Tarbeck back in three pieces, an exchange was arranged.[6]

Ellyn was killed in 261 AC during the Reyne-Tarbeck rebellion. A boulder from a trebuchet collapsed the keep of Tarbeck Hall upon Ellyn and her son Tion. Tywin then had the castle put to the torch.[5][2]

Quotes about Ellyn

Lady Ellyn must surely be a sorceress, for she made it rain inside the Rock all year.[2]

When Tarbeck Hall came crashing down on Lady Ellyn, that scheming bitch, Tyg claimed he smiled then ...[5]
