Battle of Fair Isle

AccountParticipants
On this tab

During the Greyjoy Rebellion, the fleet loyal to the Iron Throne met the Iron Fleet in the waters around Fair Isle, off the coast of the Westerlands.

The clash came after Euron and Victarion Greyjoy set the Lannister fleet ablaze at Lannisport, pushing King Robert I to send Stannis Baratheon, backed by ships from the Reach, to cut off the ironborn's advance.

Preparations

Burning of Lannisport

Euron and Victarion Greyjoy burned the Lannister ships at anchor in Lannisport, leaving the western coast open to the Iron Fleet.

King Robert I answered by sending his brother Stannis at the head of the royal fleet. Warships from Oldtown, the Arbor, and the Reach joined along the way, placed under Lord Paxter Redwyne's command, and with those reinforcements Stannis set course to meet the ironborn.

The Battle

Trap in the Strait

Stannis sprang his trap in the waters separating Fair Isle from the mainland. Victarion, leading the Iron Fleet, pushed his ships into the strait to force a quick fight; part of the royal fleet sealed the strait ahead of him while the rest circled the island to close in from behind.

There was no room to maneuver between the two shores. The larger royal ships smothered the speed and coordination the ironborn relied on, and the Iron Fleet was torn apart in the strait.

Outcome

Aftermath

Aeron Greyjoy, the younger brother of Victarion and Euron, was captured when his ship went down under the Fury's guns, and spent the rest of the war a prisoner. Lord Rodrik Harlaw's two sons both died in the battle, leaving House Harlaw without a direct heir.

With the Iron Fleet broken, Robert I was able to cross to the Iron Islands and put down the Greyjoy Rebellion.
