Kingdom of the Iron Islands

The Kingdom of the Iron Islands is the name given to the de jure independent kingdom of the Iron Islands recognizing the suzerainty of the Iron Throne, located on an archipelago located in Ironman's Bay off the western coast of the continent of Westeros. The kingdom is named after the Iron Islands. It is ruled by the King of the Iron Islands atop the Salt Throne from their seat at Pyke. The king is traditionally chosen through a Kingsmoot by the lords and captains of the Iron Islands, though recently they have all been members of House Greyjoy. 
The roots of the kingdom are unknown, though according to legend, it went through major reformations under the Grey King and was eventually controlled by the Hoare dynasty, who established the Kingdom of the Isles and the Rivers when he successfully conquered the Riverlands from the Storm Kings, who had previously conquered it from the River Kings. It was conquered during the Targaryen conquest, however, and the head of House Greyjoy was named the Lords of the Iron Islands. 
The kingdom was reestablished by Balon Greyjoy during the Greyjoy Rebellion eight years after Robert's Rebellion, and though it was defeated by the forces of the Iron Throne, it was restored once more during the War of the Five Kings, again by King Balon. After Balon's death, his brother, Euron Greyjoy was elected king, but was opposed by Balon's last children, Yara and Theon, the former of whom became the unopposed queen of the Iron Islands after successfully retaking the isles and with Euron's death in the Battle of King's Landing.
