Lord of Casterly Rock



The Lord of Casterly Rock is the ruler of the stronghold of Casterly Rock, the capital of the Westerlands. The holder is the ruler of the entire region of the Westerlands.

The Westerlands were originally a sovereign nation known as the Kingdom of the Rock, until Aegon the Conqueror arrived in Westeros and united the Seven Kingdoms. House Lannister, the richest family in the Seven Kingdoms, have ruled as the Lords of Casterly Rock for hundreds of years.

Tywin Lannister is the holder during the beginning of the series. He inherited the title from his father Tytos Lannister. The Lord of Casterly Rock also holds the title of Warden of the West.

Season 3
Despite Tyrion Lannister being the heir to Casterly Rock since his elder brother Jaime is a knight of the Kingsguard, Lord Tywin has made it clear that he has no intention of allowing Tyrion to be the Lord of Casterly Rock following his death. It is therefore not clear who the heir to Casterly Rock currently is.
