House Botley

Lords of Lordsport on Pyke itself, close bannermen of the Greyjoys ÔÇö which, under a king as jealous as Euron, proved a dangerous place to stand.

The fuller tale

House Botley holds Lordsport, the harbour town on Pyke where the ironborn beach their longships beneath the Greyjoys' own castle, which makes them the Greyjoys' nearest and most useful bannermen. Sawane Botley was drowned on the orders of Balon Greyjoy for arguing over a crown; his kin remembered it.

When Euron Greyjoy seized the Seastone Chair, Lord Tristifer Botley's loyalties and his love for Asha Greyjoy put him on the wrong side of the Crow's Eye, and the house learned again the old lesson of Lordsport: to sit closest to the Greyjoys is to sit closest to the drowning.
