Long before the Kingdom of the Reach and the rule of [[House Gardener]], the Manderlys wore crowns of their own and feuded bitterly with the [[House_Peake|Peakes]]. [[Gwayne_III_Gardener|King Gwayne III “the Fat” Gardener]] ended that blood-letting in the [[Age of Heroes]] when he persuaded both rivals to bend the knee and accept his judgment without battle. <ref name="GardenerKings">George R.

Tensions with the Peakes remained constant. They deepened when Princess Talla Gardener, who despised the Peakes, married Desmond Manderly, tying the Manderlys more closely to the royal house. In the years that followed, Lord Desmond clashed with neighbors such as [[House Rowan]], and though King Galayn Gardener restrained him, his son Gunthor later allowed Gunnar Peake to strike. In 97 A.I. the Peakes sacked Dunstonbury, Raymund Manderly died in captivity, and a young Garland Manderly was taken as hostage. | Tensions with the Peakes remained constant.

After Desmond’s death, his daughter Aly Manderly and her husband Garmund assumed rule, with Aly exercising real power. During the civil war following the death of King Gunthor Gardener in 120 A.I., Aly supported the “White” faction of House Gardener, while Josua Peake and the “Green” faction opposed her. The Manderlys were defeated, Garland Manderly was sacrificed, and Garmund was captured and executed. | After Desmond’s death, his daughter Aly Manderly and her husband Garmund assumed rule, with Aly exercising real power.
