House Lannister is one of the Great Houses of Westeros. It became the Royal House of the Seven Kingdoms when Cersei Lannister was crowned after Tommen Baratheon’s death in season 6. Their seat is located in Casterly Rock and their sigil is a golden lion on a crimson field. The official words of House Lannister are “Hear Me Roar,” not to be confused with the common saying “A Lannister Always Pays His Debts.”
The members of House Lannister at the beginning of the show were:
- Tywin Lannister. He was the Lord of Casterly Rock and the father of Cersei, Jaime, and Tyrion. He led the Lannister army during the War of the Five Kings and became Hand of the King after the Battle of Blackwater, in which Stannis Baratheon’s army was defeated thanks to him. Tywin was in control of King’s Landing and the Seven Kingdom during both Joffrey and Tommen Baratheon’s reigns. In Season 4, he sentenced Tyrion to death when he was found guilty of murdering Joffrey Baratheon at his wedding. Tyrion, who managed to escape helped by Jaime, murdered Tywin with a crossbow in revenge.
