Why is Willas Tyrell not married?

Because he’s the heir to Highgarden. You don’t marry off your heir to the first girl you or he likes, unless you’re Ned Stark. Certainly someone as ambitious as Mace Tyrell wasn’t about to pick one of his bannermen’s daughters for Willas – he wanted the best he could get, just as he did for his only daughter, Margaery.

What happened to Willas Tyrell?

The huge explosion wiped out most of the Tyrells, including Margaery, Loras and Lord Mace Tyrell, as well as Cersei’s uncle Kevan Lannister, the High Sparrow, and the Faith Militant. As a result, King Tommen committed suicide by throwing himself out a window, leaving Cersei on the Iron Throne.

Is Mace Tyrell’s son still unmarried?

Why do the Tyrells not want the future Lord of Highgarden to marry?

The Tyrells are very ambitious, and they doubtlessly would want the future Lord of Highgarden to marry a powerful person. The daughters of powerful banners aren’t really interesting to them – it seems they want to elevate their influence by marrying other powerful realms.

Why isn’t Willas Baratheon married?

This is the correct answer: Willas isn’t married for the same reason Theon, and Edmure, and Sweetrobin, and Quentyn, and Renly, and Robb, and Joffrey aren’t married: there’s currently a 30-heir pileup as each heir vies for the choicest picks available.

Why can’t the Tyrells use Hightowers?

They can’t use Hightowers because Willas’s mother is a Hightower. His brother Garlan has already married a Fossoway. It seems like both Mace and Doran would oppose a match between Willas and Arianne, and the Tyrells likely wouldn’t even consider Asha Greyjoy as an option. Are there no eligible daughters from among the other Tyrell bannermen?
