Editing Edmyn Tully (section)

===Aegon's Conquest===
When [[Harren Hoare]], [[King of the Isles and the Rivers]], built [[Harrenhal]], he beggared the nobility and [[smallfolk]] of the [[riverlands]], gathering materials and gold for his great seat. When [[Aegon I Targaryen]] began his [[Aegon's Conquest|conquest]] of [[Westeros]], King Harren the Black summoned the riverlords to the defense of Harrenhal. Instead, Lord Edmyn Tully was the first riverlord to join Aegon the Conqueror's side in the fight against the [[ironborn]], declaring for [[House Targaryen]]. He rode forth with his [[knight]]s and archers to join his strength to Aegon's, and was followed by the major lords of the [[Trident]].{{ref|tWOIAF|The Reign of the Dragons: The Conquest}}

When Edmyn and the riverlords joined their strength to Aegon's, the large host surrounded the castle.{{ref|TWOIAF|The Reign of the Dragons: The Conquest}} Harren offered Edmyn's daughters to whomever could slay Aegon's [[dragons]].{{ref|FAB|Aegon's Conquest}} After Harren and [[House Hoare|his line]] perished in the [[burning of Harrenhal]], Aegon accepted an oath of fealty from Edmyn and granted him dominion over the riverlands as [[Lord Paramount of the Trident]], requiring the other riverlords to swear him fealty.{{ref|AGOT|Appendix}}{{ref|TWOIAF|The Riverlands}} Some even proposed to grant Edmyn dominion over the [[Iron Islands]] as well, but this did not come to pass.{{ref|TWOIAF|The Riverlands: House Tully}}{{ref|TWOIAF|The Iron Islands: The Greyjoys of Pyke}}

Edmyn did much to repair the damage Harren caused, forging new ties among the [[Seven Kingdoms]]. Aegon granted [[Harrenhal]] to Lord [[Quenton Qoherys]], who took one of Edmyn's daughters to wife. However, this connection proved troublesome in later years, alleviated only with the swift end of [[House Qoherys]].{{ref|TWOIAF|The Riverlands: House Tully}}
