Age of Greyjoy Brothers

[King Stannis' Man]

Does anyone know how old Balon, Euron, Vic, and Aeron are?

[Fat Mac]

No one knows for sure. We can speculate, but thats about it.

Theon was born in 279, as he was 9-10 during Balon's first rebellion. Asha was three years older, so she was born in 276. Rodrik and Maron's age we don't know. However, Maron, the second eldest, was old enough to fight during the Battle of Pyke. As 16 is usually considered adult age, we can assume Maron was at least 16, so born in 273 or earlier. If we go by this logic, we might assume (weakly, I'll admit), that Balons kids were around 3 years apart each. This would mean Rodrik was born around 270 (or earlier)

Using their ages, I would assume Balon was at least 20 years older than his oldest son. This would likely place his birth around 250. However, Balon seemed so much older, so it might be before that.

Euron at least seems quite a bit younger than his brother, due to his lack of grey hair. Victarion was commander of the Iron Fleet during Balon's Rebellion, so I would say he was well into his adulthood then. Aeron is probably a bit younger than the rest of them, seeing how there was a brother (Urrigon) between him and Victarion.

This is speculation built on speculation built on speculation, but I would say Balon was at least over 50, Euron and Victarion in their forties, and Aeron probably in his thirties somewhere.

Through Theons POV I get the feeling that Aeron was about the same age as Theon is now before Theon left. That would probably mean he is between 30-40. I believe Urrigon died at an age of 14. I do not remember where I heard (read?) that. When Urrigon died Balon, Euron and Victarion was old enough to raid. Aeron called him self a man at the age of 16. That means Victarion probably was more than 16 which makes him 4-8 years older than Aeron. Euron and Balon has to be even older.

Rodrik and Maron probably wasn't borne when Urrigon died, so for both of them to be old enough to die in battle Maron must have been around 14-20. I assume Rodrik must have been borne 1-5 years after Urrigon died. Maron have to be at least 1 year younger but no more than 6 because Aeron is 1-4 years younger than Urrigon was and Aeron is between 30-40.

Theon is 21 and Rodrik must be aroun 5-8 years older because Theon was 11 when Rodrik died. Balon must have been 18-36 when Urrigon died, so he is 12-29 years older than Aeron.

Euron must have been older than Victarion but younger than Balon so he must be around 35-68.

Aeron: 30-40

Victarion: 34-52 (probably more like 34-44 because he dosen't feel old.)

Rodrik (if he where alive): 26-29

Maron (if he where alive): 24-28

Balon: 42-69 (he seems to old to rave, but Asha remembers him as strong so 50-69 would be more likely)

Euron: 35-68 (he is strong enough to rave and Victarion laked respect for him while Balon lived so more likely would be 35-53, cause if he would have been a lot older than Victarion I think Victarion would have thought of him in a different way.

I relise that this can be a lot more calculated. This is just a first draft so with more details this could have been a lot more prezice. And of corse this is all built on that Urrigon was 14 when he died. Was it Urrigon that was 14 when he died or one of Balons older brothers?

Aeron: 30-40

Victarion: 34-52 (probably more like 34-44 because he dosen't feel old.)

Rodrik (if he where alive): 26-29

Maron (if he where alive): 24-28

Balon: 42-69 (he seems to old to rave, but Asha remembers him as strong so 50-69 would be more likely)

Euron: 35-68 (he is strong enough to rave and Victarion laked respect for him while Balon lived so more likely would be 35-53, cause if he would have been a lot older than Victarion I think Victarion would have thought of him in a different way.

Good reckoning there. That was my take on Vic.

[The Holy Goat]

I've always imagined them as being something like this, at the start of AGOT.

Balon: 50 years old.

Euron: 44 years old.

Victarion: 42 years old.

Aeron: 38 years old.

Something like that.
