History
Nymeria, warrior queen of the Rhoyne, landed in Dorne with ten thousand ships and married Mors Martell, Lord of Sunspear. With her help Mors vanquised his rivals to rule all of Dorne.
Dorne alone of the Seven Kingdoms was not conquered by Aegon the Dragon.
Dorne was conquered by Daeron I Targaryen, King of the Seven Kingdoms, but he lost it.
Dorne was united with the rest of the Seven Kingdoms when King Daeron II married Princess Myriah Martell and gave his own sister to the reigning Prince of Dorne.
Lyanna Stark died in the mountains of Dorne.
Culture
The Rhoynar has had a significant impact on the culture of Dorne. Dornish rulers style themselves Prince rather than King. Under Dornish law, lands and titles pass to the eldest child, not the eldest male.
