<P> Margaery and Tommen wed, and she finally becomes the Lady of the Seven Kingdoms . She taunts Cersei over her triumph, and begins to try to convince Tommen to send Cersei away from the capital . Cersei, in a shortsighted attempt to get rid of her rival, consents for the Faith of the Seven to once again bear arms . Cersei intends for the increasingly fervent religious order to seize Loras and charge him for homosexual behavior, and to trick Margaery into perjuring herself by denying, under oath, knowledge of his proclivities . Margaery finds herself arrested and awaiting trial, although Cersei is arrested as well on unrelated charges . </P> <P> After a period of captivity, Margaery is permitted to visit Loras in his cell . She discovers that he is beginning to break under the Faith's questioning, and that the meeting is a ploy to break her too . Jaime Lannister leads the Tyrell army on the Sept of Baelor to secure Margaery's release, but it is revealed that she has been absolved by convincing Tommen to forge an alliance between the Faith and the Crown . Margaery later convinces Olenna to return to Highgarden, subtly indicating that she is still loyal to House Tyrell . </P> <P> Margaery persuades the High Sparrow, the leader of the Faith, to release Loras if he surrenders his claim as heir of House Tyrell and joins the Faith . However, when Cersei fails to arrive for her trial Margaery deduces Cersei is plotting something and tries to convince the High Sparrow to evacuate the Sept of Baelor, but the High Sparrow refuses and has the Faith Militant bar the exits . Moments later, wildfire that had been ignited beneath the Sept on Cersei's orders explodes, and Margaery is killed in the explosion, along with all others present . Her death, and those of her brother and father, lead to Olenna to accept a proposal by the Sand Snakes (who currently lead the Reach's ancient rival, Dorne) in supporting Daenerys Targaryen's invasion of Westeros . </P> <P> Adam Whitehead of the wertzone feels Margaery's rivalry with Cersei Lannister is a major driving force in A Feast for Crows . Hahn Nguyen of wickedlocal.com feels that Margaery is a background character whose cunning is only addressed subtly . She states that; "In the books, I felt (Margaery) was just pushed to the background . A pawn," and "Margaery's cunning was hinted at in the books, especially in her lunch with Lady Olenna and Sansa ." In a similar vein, Sean T. Collins writing for Rolling Stone feels that author Martin has been vague about Margaery's ambition and political cunning and describes her as a; "mute mystery whose motives and level of involvement in the game of thrones are unknown (by A Clash of Kings)" However other writers feel Margaery's political ambition is more obvious . Madeline of Feministing writes; "Margaery is an ambitious politico as well as being a damn good actress--she plays the part of the tragic, virginal twice - widow so well that almost no one suspects that she is dead set on winning the throne . Despite frequently being used as a bartering chip, Margaery uses her womanhood to her advantage, knowing that producing an heir will shoot her to power ." Similarly Danica Liu writing for The Duke Chronicle describes Margaery as "subtle and graceful" and like most of the women in A Song of Ice and Fire, deals in the currencies of power . </P>
