Qhored I Hoare, known as Qhored the Cruel, was a member of House Hoare and was one of the greatest kings the Iron Islands ever produced. Some accounts state he was actually of House Greyiron or House Blacktyde.[1]
History
The young Qhored sacked Oldtown, taking thousands of women as captives. When he was 30, Qhored defeated King Bernarr II Justman and took Bernarr's three sons as hostages. Three years later he murdered the boys in the Bloody Keep of Pyke, crushed Bernarr's vengeful army, and drowned the river king.[1]
During the reign of King Qhored, the ironborn could rightfully claim that his writ ran "wherever men can smell salt water or hear the crash of waves." The ironborn were at their peak of expansion, ruling territory along the Sunset Sea from the Arbor to Bear Island.[2] Many men abandoned the shores for fear of Qhored's reavers, while those who remained were forced to pay tribute.[1] The Kingdom of the Reach called him Qhored the Cruel.[3] King Qhored died at the age of 90, having ruled for 75 years.[1] Qhored's conquests were gradually lost by his successors and descendents, however.[2]
