When 22-year-old Tywin Lannister watched ungrateful vassals mock his weak father for years, he knew something had to change. Houses Reyne and Tarbeck had been draining Lannister gold through generous loans, taking advantage of Lord Tytos's desperate need to be liked. But when Tywin demanded repayment in 261 AC, these arrogant vassals didn't just refuse - they rose in open rebellion. What happened next transformed an overlooked young lord into the most feared man in Westeros. Tywin's brilliant solution to the siege of Castamere's mines showed tactical genius that saved Lannister lives while ending the rebellion decisively. The result? A song that would keep vassals loyal for generations and a reputation that made enemies surrender without fighting. This is the story of how one perfectly executed campaign created a legend. #GameOfThrones #TywinLannister #Westeros #ASOIAF #FantasyLore #MedievalHistory #RainsOfCastamere #HouseLannister
