Overview
One of the great houses of Westeros, House Greyjoy rules over the Iron Islands and their people, known to themselves as the Iron born. They do so from their massive sea-side castle, called Pyke (located on the isle also called Pyke).
In December 288, House Greyjoy and the Iron born rebelled against the rule of King Robert Baratheon. With the combined might of the Iron Islands, they attacked the Riverlands and the Westerlands by both land and sea, seeking to recapture a hold on the mainland and force as much of the Seven Kingdoms as possible to bow to King Balon Greyjoy.
History
Descended from a Grey King from the Age of Heroes, House Greyjoy relinquished their kingship after the Targaryen conquest, and became Lords Paramount of the Iron Isles.
