Why shouldn't we rule ourselves again? It was the dragons we bowed to! And now the dragons are dead! There sits the only king I mean to bend my knee to: the King in the North!".-Greatjon Umber

To be fair, if the Starks had done what the Dornish did, just use hit and run attacks, they would have been able to hold off a Targ invasion.

I suppose you are right on that. Torrhen Stark marched down to the Trident to meet Aegon. Had he stayed up in the North, it would have been harder to subdue them , due to the climate.
