Quellon Greyjoy tried to reform the ways of the ironborn and integrate them with the rest of the Seven Kingdoms by freeing thralls, forbidding most reaving, discouraging salt wives, encouraging marriages with the mainland, and bringing maesters to the Iron Islands. Quellon was succeeded by his son, Balon Greyjoy who rejected most of his father’s reforms. Balon’s desire to return to the Old Way led to Greyjoy’s Rebellion against the rule of King Robert I Baratheon.
