Nonetheless they have cemented their rule over the Reach and from their humble origins have grown into one of the greatest and wealthiest Great House in Westeros. And they have become House Targaryen's strongest vassal, fielding the greatest armies and fighting every single war on behalf of the crown except during the Dance, when dragons fought dragons.
