![]() We can rule out the Houses Bracken, Blackwood and Durrandon as the source of the Tully’s claim because these Houses still existed in the time of Aegon the Conquerer and their Lord’s claim thus would have been superior to the Tully’s claim (which only can originate from a woman married into House Tully).įrom the remaining Houses the best bet for the source of the Tully’s claim is House Hoare as I will try to show here. Before the Storm Kings it was House Teague and before them a myriad of other Houses from the Riverlands (Fisher, Justman, Bracken, Blackwood, Mudd). ![]() But where did that claim originate?īefore the dragons came the Riverlands were ruled by House Hoare for three generations and before them by House Durrandon for 300 years. So we learn that House Tully became Lords Paramount not because they were first of the riverlords to declare for Aegon the Conquerer but because of a claim to the kingdom of the Riverlands. It may have been these old connections that started House Tully on its path to becoming Lords Paramount of the Trident under Aegon I. The Tullys of Riverrun were never kings, though the books of lineages will show any number of connections to the dynasties of the past. ![]()
