Margaery is proposed to be wed to Joffrey.

[12] Later, Margaery also attends Sansa and Tyrion's wedding.

Olenna and Margaery prepare for her wedding.

At Cersei and Loras's trial, Margaery stands with her father in the Great Sept of Baelor, and watches from the sidelines as Loras renounces his allegiance to House Tyrell, confesses to his crimes and agrees to join the Sparrows. Presumably, Margaery becomes heir to Highgarden for the final moments of her life after her brother's disinheritance.

He shows her picture to Ned Stark and asks if she resembles Lyanna Stark, hoping that such a resemblance will convince Robert to cast Cersei aside and make Margaery Queen. Behind the scenes image of Margaery and Renly Baratheon.

It quickly becomes apparent that Joffrey is excited by violence and sadism, so she flirts with him by complimenting the crossbow and musing about killing something herself. Margaery was raised in privilege in the family seat and regional capital of Highgarden. Meanwhile, her servants distribute bread and toys, earning her the love of Flea Bottom's smallfolk. Against royal protocol, Margaery visits Flea Bottom. The first book, A Game of Thrones, features a small subplot hinting that Renly Baratheon was working as an agent to the Tyrells' rising power by trying to bring Margaery to King's Landing. Olenna cautions Margaery to mind what she says, even with her. Instead, the High Septon mentions that Tommen misses his wife terribly, and that the love between husband and wife is sacrosanct, and that sins, however, have a way of leading decent people away from all things sacred and into wickedness. Margaery Tyrell later finds Sansa Stark praying in the godswood, dismisses the Lannister guards and engages in pleasant small-talk.

Margaery inquires about Loras's condition, but Unella says she must confess her sins first and moves to strike her. During the wedding dinner, Margaery is seated with her grandmother Olenna, who talks about what the dynamics of the Lannister and Tyrell families will be after Loras married Cersei, with Margaery shooting her grandmother a withering glare when Loras storms out.[13]. The septa states that Margaery and her cousins were examined by septas, and it was revealed their maidenhood is not intact; Cersei barely manages not to laugh, because she knows the real reason - Margaery's habit of riding horses (riding a horse astride may indeed cause the hymen to crack). First she sends Osney Kettleblack to seduce Margaery, but he fails because Margaery is always with her cousins and other companions. The cause of his death is still not known. Ned thinks it ironic that Renly, who is said to strongly resemble a young Robert, should be smitten with a girl whom he thinks resembles Lyanna. Cersei ignores the obvious lie and says that Tommen will need someone to guide him; apparently, she doesn't have the will to fight about Margaery being that someone anymore. While Olenna is disappointed at these revelations, she is not surprised given the rumors that have been circulating about Joffrey's public outbursts.

Olenna argues that they marched for Margaery and Loras's sake. Sansa believes that Cersei won't allow her to leave the city, but Margaery wryly points out that Margaery's authority will take precedence when she is Queen.

The implied threat is not lost on Margaery.[28]. Magaery is younger in the books, sixteen at the time of her marriage to Renly making her the same age as Robb Stark.

Renly hosts a tournament, with Margaery at his side. When Lancel himself does not return after a prolonged period of time, Margaery suggests to the High Sparrow that Cersei's absence and that of her son indicates that she is plotting to harm them.[29]. Loras escorts Sansa to the gardens for the meeting.

Margaery silently watches as Tyrion defends himself. Catelyn Stark arrives to treat with Renly on behalf of her son Robb Stark and Margaery greets her warmly.

Mace urges Kevan to have Tommen declare that Margaery is innocent. Cersei asks if Margaery still wants to be the queen, to which the lady replies that she hasn't thought about it.

Joffrey gives Margaery a tour of the Great Sept of Baelor.

Margaery implies that may not be the case. Margaery is surprised by this, but Olenna points out that the Lannisters need their alliance with the Tyrells far more than they do.[16]. During that time, Sansa praises Loras's swordsmanship and expressed her interest in marrying Loras, something the Tyrells have been plotting to keep her from being used by Baelish or the Lannisters, and to bring the North under the control of House Tyrell, instead of their opponents.
