A '''battle at the Mander''' occurred in {{date|283}} near the end of [[Robert's Rebellion]]. [[House Greyjoy]] achieved a negligible victory over the [[Shield Islands|Shield Islanders]] at the mouth of the [[Mander]].{{ref|TWOIAF| The Old Way and the New}} 

==Prelude==
[[Quellon Greyjoy]], Lord of the [[Iron Islands]], desired neutrality for the [[ironmen]] during the civil war. After [[Pyke]] was informed of the death of Crown Prince [[Rhaegar Targaryen]] in the [[Battle of the Trident]], however, Quellon was convinced by his eldest sons—[[Balon Greyjoy|Balon]], [[Euron Greyjoy|Euron]], and [[Victarion Greyjoy|Victarion]]—to join the rebels as soon as possible or else lose all chance at spoils. Quellon led fifty longships in attacking [[the Reach]], who were royalist supporters of [[House Targaryen]]. Since the intentions of [[House Lannister]] of [[Casterly Rock]] were as yet unknown, most of the ironmen's fleet remained at home to guard against the [[westerlands]].{{ref|TWOIAF| The Old Way and the New}}

==Battle==
The Greyjoys raided the coast of [[the Reach]], sinking or capturing some ships and raiding some villages and towns. They were unexpectedly met at the mouth of the [[Mander]] by the longships of the [[Shield Islands]], however. Twelve longships were sunk or captured in the battle, with the Greyjoys emerging the victor. The aged Lord Quellon was slain during the fighting, however.{{ref|TWOIAF| The Old Way and the New}}

==Aftermath==
Although the ironmen won the battle, Quellon's eldest son and heir, [[Balon Greyjoy]], decided to return to [[Pyke]] to claim the [[Seastone Chair]] of the Iron Islands, and the Iron Islands' contribution to Robert's Rebellion was minimal.{{ref|TWOIAF| The Old Way and the New}} While the Greyjoys were attacking the Reach, Lord [[Tywin Lannister]] joined the rebels and ordered the [[Sack of King's Landing]] by the [[westermen]].{{ref|AGOT|12}}
