Ser Jaime Lannister has Tom play the song to the captive Lord Edmure Tully to remind him what would happen to his family if he does not surrender Riverrun. Olenna Tyrell sarcastically comments she is disappointed that the Blue Bard does not sing "The Rains of Castamere" at the wedding feast of Margaery and King Tommen I Baratheon. Marillion sings the song while in a sky cell at the Eyrie. ![]() When Alaric of Eysen is about to perform, Lady Olenna Tyrell sarcastically comments she hopes for another rendition of the song to remember how it goes. The song is performed by both Hamish the Harper and Collio Quaynis to honor Lord Tywin Lannister at the wedding feast of King Joffrey I Baratheon and Queen Margaery Tyrell. The song selection was plotted by Lothar Frey and Lord Roose Bolton. Lady Catelyn Stark recognizes the tune, but by the time she realizes what is happening, it is already far too late as the song starts, so does the bloodbath that ends the lives of Robb Stark, King in the North, and most of his vassals, and the rebellions of the north and the riverlands against the Iron Throne. ĭuring the Red Wedding, the song is the signal for the forces of House Frey and House Bolton to turn on the Starks and Tullys and slaughter them. "The Rains of Castamere" is among the songs sung by Tom of Sevenstreams after the battle at the burning septry. It was enough to make Lord Farman reconsider his position. The song was played by an envoy of Lord Tywin Lannister to truculent House Farman of Faircastle. The rebellion of the Reynes against the Lannisters was thus seen as a civil war of lions. The lyrics heavily reference the fact that the sigil of House Reyne was also a lion, but a red one instead of the golden lion used as the sigil of House Lannister. The title is thus a play on words, as the "rains" fall over the empty halls of the "Reynes" who have been killed to the last man, and "not a soul to hear". By the end of the rebellion, Castamere had been flooded and all members of House Reyne killed. To restore Lannister dominance, Tytos's eldest son and heir, Ser Tywin Lannister, marched against the upstart Lord of Castamere, Roger Reyne, known as the "Red Lion of Castamere". ![]() House Reyne was obliterated after they rebelled against their liege lord, Tytos Lannister, who was perceived as weak by his own vassals. Yes now the rains weep o’er his hall, and not a soul to hear. In a coat of gold or a coat of red, a lion still has claws,Īnd mine are long and sharp, my lord, as long and sharp as yours.Īnd so he spoke, and so he spoke, that lord of Castamere,īut now the rains weep o'er his hall, with no one there to hear. Only a cat of a different coat, that's all the truth I know. And who are you, the proud lord said, that I must bow so low?
