The swords of the defeated were sent downriver on the [[Blackwater Rush]] to the [[Aegonfort]], where they would form part of [[Aegon I Targaryen|Aegon the Conqueror]]'s [[Iron Throne]].{{Ref|TWOIAF| The Reign of the Dragons: The Conquest}}{{Ref|AGOT|43}} [[Loren I Lannister]], [[King of the Rock]], was detained the following day. Loren the Last gave up his claim to kingship and became [[Warden of the West]] under the rule of [[House Targaryen]].{{Ref|AGOT|13}}

Aegon marched for the extinct Gardeners' seat of [[Highgarden]], whose steward, [[Harlan Tyrell]], surrendered without conflict. Aegon rewarded him by giving [[House Tyrell]] dominion over the [[Reach]] and raising him to Lord of Highgarden, [[Lord Paramount of the Mander]], and [[Warden of the South]].{{Ref|AGOT|Appendix}}{{Ref|TWOIAF| The Reign of the Dragons: The Conquest}} The Houses [[House Oakheart|Oakheart]], [[House Florent|Florent]], [[House Rowan|Rowan]], [[House Peake|Peake]], and [[House Redwyne|Redwyne]] bitterly protested the elevation of the Tyrells, insisting that their blood was nobler than that of the "upjumped stewards" and that they had closer relations to House Gardener,{{Ref|TWOIAF| The Reach: House Tyrell}} with the Florents boasting the superior claim by blood.{{Ref|ASOS|Appendix}} However, their protests were unsuccessful, perhaps in part because they had taken arms against the Targaryens on the Field of Fire, as speculated by Maester [[Yandel]].{{Ref|TWOIAF| The Reach: House Tyrell}}

After the surrender of Highgarden, Aegon marched north to the [[Red Fork]] of the [[Trident]] to face 30,000 [[north]]men marching south under the leadership of [[Torrhen Stark]], [[King in the North]]. Aegon and his sisters gathered an army of 45,000 from the [[riverlands]], [[stormlands]], Reach, and [[westerlands]] in response. Having learned of the [[burning of Harrenhal]] and the Field of Fire, Torrhen [[Inn of the Kneeling Man|knelt]] in submission to Aegon rather than give combat, becoming Aegon's [[Warden of the North]].{{Ref|TWOIAF| The Reign of the Dragons: The Conquest}}
