I have even more ideas.

The house that lead the rebellion was house Elerion. They gained control of the military because their dynasty has large sway in the military, and it's members are well respected amongst it's ranks. That's the only reason why the rebellion worked. House Elerion also has a history of marrying foreigners, which is why Veantur and Miriel have an ME version of your ethnic makeup. House Elerion's symbol looks like an Islamic version of House Greyjoy's, which is why it is now the royal symbol.
