Desde que você fez esta pergunta para o Show, em Showverse, Theon tinha 8 anos quando foi levado por Lord Stark para Winterfell.
Theon: I'm a Greyjoy. We've been lords of the Iron Islands for 300 years. There's not a family in Westeros that can look down on us, not even the Lannisters.
Ros1: And what about the Starks?
Theon: I've been Lord Stark's ward since I was eight years old.
Ros: A ward - that's a nice word for it.

As punishment and to ensure there would be no other uprisings, Robert forced Balon to surrender his only surviving son, Theon (then 8), for Ned Stark to raise as his ward at Winterfell.
