In WOIAF, it is mentioned that King Brandon IX forbade the Skagosi the sea whereas before they described as accustomed to crossing the Bay of Seals to trade with the rest of the North. It was their raiding that led to Brandon forbidding them the sea.
Do you think the Skagosi rebellion in Daeron II’s reign might have been over regaining the right to have access to the sea, ie build and keep ships, breaking their centuries-long isolation?
Well, they were accustomed to raiding as much as trading – they didn’t do one then the other, they did them both at thre same time.
It’s as good a bet as any, and until we get to Davos’ TWOW chapters, we’re not going to know what motivated the Skagosi.
