Editing Taking of the Shields (section)

==Aftermath==
[[Victarion Greyjoy]] attributes the success of his brother [[Euron Greyjoy|Euron's]] attack from the west to [[magic|blood sacrifice]] and the assistance of [[warlocks]]. King Euron raises four new [[lord]]s, granting [[Oakenshield]] to [[Nute|Nute the Barber]], [[Southshield]] to [[Andrik|Andrik the Unsmiling]], [[Greenshield]] to [[Maron Volmark]], and [[Greyshield]] to Ser [[Harras Harlaw]], men who previously were supporters of potential rivals to Euron.{{ref|AFFC|29}}

The lords who escaped destruction on the islands or the Mander retreat and wait for reinforcement from [[House Tyrell]] of [[Highgarden]]. Instead being taken as [[thrall]]s, the [[peasant]] women and children whose husbands and fathers died during the battle are to be sold into [[slavery]] at [[Lys]], which disturbs Victarion.{{ref|affc|29}}{{ref|ADWD|56}} According to the tidings that reach [[King's Landing]], Lord [[Moribald Chester]] and Lord [[Humfrey Hewett]] are slain, Lord [[Guthor Grimm]] is held captive in his own castle, and Lord [[Osbert Serry]] flees to Highgarden with the remnants of his fleet. Ser [[Willas Tyrell]] sends word to [[House Hightower]] at [[Oldtown]], and Ser [[Garlan Tyrell]] begins raising men to retake the Shields.{{ref|affc|32}}

Later, after capturing his brother [[Aeron Greyjoy|Aeron Damphair]], Euron admits he does not intend to hold the Shields. Attacking them opened the Mander to their raiding ships, and giving them away allows Euron to appear open handed. The ironborn will remember his victory taking the islands, but will blame their loss on the new Houses that try to hold them.<ref>''[[The Winds of Winter]]'', [[The Forsaken (The Winds of Winter)|The Forsaken]]</ref>
