| Portrayed by |
Edmyn Tully was the lord of Riverrun during Aegon's Conquest who rose against his overlord, the hated Storm King Harren the Black, and was rewarded by Aegon with dominion over all the Riverlands, founding the line of Tully Lords Paramount of the Trident.
Rebellion Against Harren
Before the Conquest, the riverlands were ruled harshly by Harren Hoarren of the Iron Islands, called Harren the Black, who had bled the river lords dry to raise his monstrous castle of Harrenhal. When Aegon Targaryen landed, Edmyn Tully was among the first river lords to renounce Harren and declare for the Targaryens, leading the riverlords in revolt.
Reward
Aegon destroyed Harren and his sons by burning Harrenhal with Balerion, ending House Hoare. For his support, Aegon named Edmyn Tully Lord Paramount of the Trident, granting House Tully dominion over the river lords who had once served Harren. It was an elevation of a middling house to the rule of a whole region.
Legacy
Edmyn founded the Tully line that would hold Riverrun and the Riverlands for three centuries, down to Lord Hoster, Edmure, and the daughters Catelyn and Lysa. The Tully words, "Family, Duty, Honor," and the leaping trout of their arms descend from his house.
