How would you dealt with the grejoys?

Well they revolted against their King. We've had more than enough evidence that is far from the first time so it's time for a sharp lesson in authority. Execute Balon and install another lord as the Lord Paramount for starters.

Tricky. I'd remove the Greyjoy's from power and install whomever I felt would be loyal to the throne. You'd have to execute Balon and perhaps even Euron and Victarion. Aeron could be sent to the wall. The hard part is deciding what to do with the heirs. Maybe marry Asha to a Westerlands lord and make Theon a ward. Give Pyke to the Botleys.

I'd execute Balon, as well as Victarion and Euron to appease Tywin for the burning of the royal fleet at Lannisport. I'd then seat a someone with half a brain, like Rodrik Harlaw or a Botley as lord of Pyke. I'd send Aeron to the Wall and send Theon to be a ward of Stannis. Asha I'd make marry whoever seemed best, and I'd leave their mother alone, since the poor woman would have suffered enough.

Besides punishing those responsible I would try and somehow limit the size of their fleets, although that would most likely not be easy. WIthout their ships though they are no real threat.



Edit: Or limit the trade to the Iron Islands, atleast wood!

Execute all Greyjoys except Asha and Theon. Asha joins the faith, Theon goes to the Wall and so it ends the Greyjoy line. Rodrick Harlaw remains at Lord of Harlaw, to counterbalance whoever is chosen as new Lord Paramount. Take hostages from all the Houses in the Iron Islands and distribute them across Westeros. Release all thralls and saltwives, forbid that practice, increase their taxes to help pay the cost of the rebellion and severely limit the amount of wood they can import. It probably requires basing part of the Royal Fleet either at the Iron Islands themselves or at Lannisport, to help enforce it.

:agree:

Also Stannis as Lord Paramount.

He´s earned it, it´s befitting of his status and he´s hard enough and just enough to control and enforce new rule in the Iron Islands.

Since we know of at least 3 large scale uprisings against the Iron throne, the Greyjoy's need to be stripped of lands and titles, LP of the Isles needs to be given to someone more reasonable and loyal. Laws should prohibit the use or building of warships by houses of the Iron islands, and they should be enforced.



(Edit) I forgot the thralls and salt-wives, the practises should obviously be banned.



Also, house Mallister should be given the funds to build a proper fleet, in order to counter any ironborn aggression.

So your idea is to have a**holes do whatever they want cause otherwise they will kill you? The Ironborne have a despicable culture and pose a direct and constant threat to the rest of the TSK. They have been given enough chances. Now either they must be made to conform or they must be killed. It´s harsh but it´s evidently the only option.
