In the books
The books elaborate the scope of the rebellion and identity the key combatants. The Vulture King was mainly able to rebell because House Martell, itself in defience of the Iron Throne, largely ignored the insurrection. Former Hand of the King Orys Baratheon - a veteran of the First Dornish War - led the houses of the Dornish Marches in the crackdown of the rebellion, and was mortally wounded in a duel with one of the rebels.
