I have a theory that House Hightower were effectively lord paramounts of the Reach after the Field of Fire. The Tyrells fought in Dorne, but otherwise they seem somewhat politically uninvolved until Daeron’s Conquest of Dorne. Having Oldtown, the High Septon’s ear, and the better Gardener blood claim, the Hightowers were very powerful and very involved in politics, but then after the Dance they’re pretty quiet and the Tyrells start solidifying their claim. What do you think?

Well, I think you’ve identified the problem in your theory. The Hightowers are more dominant than the Tyrells in one period only – the Dance – and then not in other periods (the First War With Dorne, Daeron’s Conquest, arguably the Blackfyre Rebellions). 

I’m not really seeing the trend you’re describing.
