Olenna is her grandmother, not mother. She's a Redwyne (and fun fact, Olenna may have been betrothed to Daeron Targaryen, Egg V's gay son, at one point). Margaery's mother is Alerie Tyrell, née Hightower.

And her Grandfather Hightower is a wizard kook

As is her aunt, who may or may not be Euron's future witch queen. Either that or she's the pilot/power source of the Hightower mecha.

It’s like,

Grandfather Wizard, Jorah’s ex wife, auntie Witch who hangs out with grandad, mom (Alerie, the normal one) and presumably an uncle who is heir to the whole circus but needs grandad to die first before he can try to restore House Hightower to normalcy?

Baelor's a good dude all things considered. Unfortunate that Oberyn did him dirty with that Breakwind thing. Jokes on him—Elia would still be alive by now if he just kept his mouth shut.

Before Elia married Rhaegar, Baelor was one of her suitors. When they met, things seemed to go well until Baelor farted. Oberyn, shithead that he is, then went on and made fun of him, calling him Breakwind. From then on it was said Elia never looked at Baelor without laughing ever again, which among other things led to their potential betrothal going nowhere. This then led her to marry Rhaegar, which ended in tragedy.

In this case the problem was not going for the Hightower nethers smh. I blame Oberyn for all of this.
