- "Stannis Baratheon captured Great Wyk, the largest of the Iron Islands, and Ser Barristan Selmy subdued Old Wyk."
- ―Theon Greyjoy
The assault on Old Wyk[1] was a battle of the Greyjoy Rebellion.
History[]
Following the destruction of the Iron Fleet at a sea battle off Fair Isle, the royal fleet mounted a counterattack against the Iron Islands.
While Great Wyk, the largest of the Iron Islands, fell to Stannis Baratheon, Ser Barristan Selmy subdued Old Wyk, paving the way for the complete defeat of the rebellion at the Siege of Pyke.[2][3]
In the books[]
In the A Song of Ice and Fire novels, Ser Barristan Selmy led an assault of Old Wyk during the Greyjoy Rebellion.

Notes[]
- ↑ In "The Wolf and the Lion," which takes place in 298 AC, Robert Baratheon states that the last war in the Seven Kingdoms took place nine years prior. Dialogue in "The Kingsroad" and the "Greyjoy Rebellion" shorts establish that this war was the Greyjoy Rebellion; therefore, it occurred in 289 AC.
