We know that the Dornish smallfolk fought on even after the nobility threw in the towel, & was one of the major reasons behind Dorne’s continued independence. But in the end what did they gain for all their trouble ? The concessions that Prince Maron won from Daeron all seem to profit the nobility- rights to retain all titles, rights to gather taxes with infrequent audits, rights to follow their own laws of inheritance etc. etc.

It’s hardly unusual for the people who do the hard fighting of a revolution to be sold out by the elite, sadly.
