Edmyn Tully was the Lord of Riverrun and the head of House Tully during Aegon's Conquest. The first of the riverlords to join Aegon the Conqueror against King Harren the Black, Aegon awarded Tully by raising him to Lord Paramount of the Trident when Harren and his line perished.[2][3]

Doing much to repair the damage done to the riverlands by Harren the Black and would later serve as Hand of the King to King Aegon I.[2] He had three daughters,[4] one of which would later marry Quenton Qoherys, Lord of Harrenhal.[2]

History

Aegon's Conquest

When King Harren the Black built Harrenhal, he beggared the nobility and smallfolk of the riverlands, gathering materials and gold for his great seat. When Aegon the Conqueror began his conquest of Westeros, King Harren 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 knights and archers to join his strength to Aegon's, and was followed major lords of the Trident.[1]

When Tully and the riverlords joined their strength to Aegon's, the large host surrounded the castle.[1] Harren offered Edmyn's daughters to whoever could slay Aegon's dragons.[4] After Harren and 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 and required the other riverlords to swear him fealty.[3][5] Some even proposed to grant Tully dominion over the Iron Islands as well, but this did not come to pass.[2][6] Edmyn did much to repair the damage Harren caused, forging new ties among the Seven Kingdoms. Aegon granted Harrenhal to Lord Quenton of House 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.[2]

Hand of the King

After Aegon's coronation as Lord of the Seven Kingdoms, the Tullys claimed a place of prominence beneath the Iron Throne.[7] When Lord Orys Baratheon resigned as Hand of the King during the First Dornish War, King Aegon I called on Lord Edmyn to serve in the office in 7 AC. However, in 9 AC, Tully's wife died in childbirth. Deciding that his children had more need of him than the realm, he begged leave to return to his family at Riverrun and resigned from the office. He was succeeded as Hand of the King by Lord Alton Celtigar.[8]
