Recent Events
[edit]A Feast for Crows
[edit]Erik Ironmaker puts himself forth at the kingsmoot on Old Wyk, where his champions are his grandsons. His gifts are of silver, bronze, and steel, and Erik's speech gathers some support. When Asha Greyjoy demands that Erik stand up, however, he is unable to. After that, his support crumbles and his claim is dismissed. Aeron Greyjoy later sees Erik shouting his support for Euron Greyjoy.[2]
A Dance with Dragons
[edit]While at Ten Towers, Asha learned that Euron, now King of the Isles and the North, arranged a marriage between his niece and Erik. Since Asha fled Old Wyk after the kingsmoot, a seal was used to stand in her place for the ceremony.[1] While Euron wages war on the Iron Throne, Erik is ruling for him as Lord Steward of the Iron Islands and castellan of Pyke.[3] Asha has no desire to return to her new husband.
