Still bitter about the ironborn occupation, Robett refuses to come to their aid and tells the Starks that they have outstayed their welcome. They receive a frosty reception from Robett, who is still bitter towards Robb for not coming to his aid during the ironborn attack on Deepwood Motte and for jeopardizing the northmen's sacrifices and war efforts for a 'foreign whore'. After visiting Bear Island, Jon and Sansa travel to Deepwood Motte to seek the support of House Glover. While making plans to retake the North, Jon Snow lists the Glovers as one of the Houses that have not yet declared for the Boltons, along with the Hornwoods, Cerwyns, Mormonts, and Mazins. Tidings of the battle reach Balon and Yara at Pyke. With the War of the Five Kings over, the Glovers retake Deepwood Motte with the help of House Bolton and slay every ironborn there. Robett Glover parleys with Jon and Sansa at Deepwood Motte. The ironborn imprison Robett Glover's wife and children, and brutalize House Glover's subjects. Yara seizes Deepwood Motte and establishes an ironborn stronghold there. With the northerners preoccupied with fighting in the Riverlands, the Balon Greyjoy sends his daughter Yara with a fleet of thirty ships to seize the Glover seat of Deepwood Motte. During the War of the Five Kings, Robb Stark assigns Galbart Glover to lead the vanguard.
