King of the Reach is the title of the ruler of the Kingdom of the Reach from Garth the Gardener to Mern IX. The Kings of the Reach were members of House Gardener. The land of the Reach is now part of the Seven Kingdoms ruled from the Iron Throne.

History

The mythical Garth Greenhand is said to have been the High King who lead the First Men across the Arm of Dorne. His firstborn son was Garth the Gardener, the legendary first King of the Reach. The Gardener kings initially ruled the Reach proper, although over time they added the lands around Oldtown, the Arbor, and the western marches between Horn Hill and Nightsong.[1]

Known Kings of the Reach

No precise lineage of House Gardner is known. Beginning with the mythical first king Garth the Gardener, the Gardeners ruled as Kings of the Reach, through war and peace and later the assimilation with the Andal invaders, down the generations until the last Gardener King Mern IX and his kin was killed at the Field of Fire in the War of Conquest.
