His brothers sent him no word of the kingsmoot, hoping that one of them would be chosen. When King Urragon III Greyiron died during the Age of Heroes, his eldest son Torgon had been away raiding along the Mander. According to Archmaester Haereg, the Greyirons had thirty-eight high kings chosen, twice as many as any other house. For centuries after, the high kings were chosen between the lords and captains of the Iron Islands in kingsmoots. He stepped down when the prophet Galon Whitestaff threatened him with death for not being chosen by a kingsmoot. After the death of Urras, his son claimed the throne as Erich I Greyiron. Urras Ironfoot was chosen as the first High King of the Iron Islands since the Grey King. The Greyirons of antiquity were rock and salt kings on the island of Orkmont.
