'''Daenerys Targaryen''', known as '''Daenerys Stormborn''' or '''Dany''', is the last confirmed member of the ancient [[House Targaryen|Targaryen Dynasty]] and one of the major [[POV Character|POV characters]] in the book series. In the [[Game of Thrones|TV series]], Daenerys is played by Emilia Clarke.<ref name=hbo/>

==Appearance==
:''See also'' [[:Category:Images of Daenerys Targaryen|this collection of images]].
Daenerys is a young woman in her early teens. She is short of stature and very beautiful, with the silver-blonde hair and [[purple eyes]] for which [[House Targaryen]] has always been known. {{Ref|aGoT|3}} Dany is said to bear a certain physical resemblance to [[Naerys Targaryen]]. <ref>Naerys Targaryen. (March 9, 2006) [http://www.westeros.org/Citadel/SSM/Entry/1463/ So Spake Martin]</ref> By [[A Dance with Dragons]] rumours of Daenerys's striking beauty are spreading far and wide.

==Character==
In her youth, Dany was a meek, timid girl with little confidence or self-esteem. She knew no life other than one of exile, dependent and in constant fear of her brother [[Viserys Targaryen|Viserys]]. He was the only family she knew, but was often a cruel guardian, prone to mood swings and fits of violence.

Her marriage to [[Khal Drogo]] was a turning point for her; adapting to life in a Dothraki ''[[khalasar]]'' was difficult, but it allowed her to begin to achieve independence from her abusive brother, and she emerged from the experience as a strong, confident, courageous woman. Nevertheless, she has not forgotten what it was like to be a victimized child, and her experiences have left her with a compassion that is unusual in a would-be conqueror. She is determined to bring justice through her reign, and has made ending [[slavery]] a particular priority. Despite her strong moral compass, however, she is capable of dealing ruthlessly with her enemies.

It was often said that the Targaryen kings tended to be either [[Targaryen madness|madmen]] or brilliant rulers, and Daenerys seems to have inherited a natural gift for leadership as her birthright. Her followers generally regard her with great respect and love, and she is often compared to her deceased brother [[Rhaegar Targaryen|Rhaegar]], a similarly charismatic leader who was known for his skill, determination, scholarly mind and strong sense of justice. Her primary weakness as a ruler is her youth and relative inexperience; however, she has a keen intellect and learns quickly from her mistakes.

Although she has matured enough to recognize that [[Viserys Targaryen|Viserys]] was weak, cowardly and cruel, his abiding obsession with regaining the crown he felt was his birthright has instilled in Daenerys a similar belief that reclaiming the [[Seven Kingdoms]] is both her right and her duty as the last of the Targaryens, and it remains the paramount goal of her life. Nevertheless, [[Westeros]] is a foreign land that she has never seen with her own eyes, and she sometimes longs wistfully for the house with a red door in [[Braavos]] that has come to symbolize her lost childhood.

==History==
[[File:Edriss_young_Dany&Viserys.jpg‎‎‎|young Dany and her brother - by Jacqui Davis ©|thumb|250px|left]]
[[File:Viserys Daenerys Targaryen hbo.jpg|thumb|250px|Daenerys and her brother [[Viserys Targaryen|Viserys]] complicated relationship]]
Daenerys is the only daughter and youngest child of King [[Aerys II Targaryen]] and his sister-wife, Queen [[Rhaella Targaryen|Rhaella]]. She was named after the first [[Daenerys, daughter of Aegon IV|Daenerys]] in her family and was most like named by her mother. <ref>[http://www.westeros.org/Citadel/SSM/Entry/1202/ So Spake Martin] February 28, 2002, Numerous Questions.</ref>
Daenerys was conceived during the last month of [[Robert's Rebellion|the rebellion]] that would ultimately end her family's reign over the [[Seven Kingdoms]]. Shortly thereafter, her mother was sent with the young prince Viserys to the family ancestral seat of [[Dragonstone]] to escape the coming [[Sack of King's Landing]]. Daenerys was born while a great storm raged above Dragonstone, sinking what remained of the Targaryen fleet, for this reason she is sometimes known as "Daenerys Stormborn." Her mother died in labor.

By this time, the war was already lost. [[Robert Baratheon]] had claimed the throne and Aerys had already been killed along with the rest of the royal family, leaving Daenerys and her older brother Viserys as the only known living Targaryen heirs. The garrison at Dragonstone decided to surrender and turn them over to the rebels in exchange for their lives, but before they could act on this plan, Ser [[Willem Darry]] and several other loyal retainers rescued the children and smuggled them into exile, sailing to the [[Braavos|Free City of Braavos]], where they lived for years in a house with a [[red door]]. Ser Willem was old and sickly, but Dany remembers that he always treated her kindly. After his death, the servants drove the young Targaryens from the house. Dany wept as they were forced out.{{Ref|aGoT|3}}

The Targaryen loyalists who raised the two children considered Viserys the rightful ruler of the [[Seven Kingdoms]] despite the family's defeat and exile, as did Viserys himself. He regarded it as his duty to revenge himself on the usurpers who murdered his family and reclaim the birthright that had been stolen from him when he was only a child. In the years that followed Ser Willem's death, Viserys wandered the nine [[Free Cities]] with his sister, trying to raise support to retake the [[Iron Throne]], which earned him the mocking title of "The Beggar King."

As a result of this long humiliation, Viserys grew bitter and obsessed with his long-denied birthright. Dany was the only convenient target for his frustration, and over time he even came to blame her for their mother's death. He took pride in his lack of control of his own temper, regarding it as proof that he was a true heir to the Targaryen kings; he regularly warned Dany not to "wake the dragon" by angering him. He often spoke to her of the importance of preserving the purity of their royal bloodline through the ancient [[Valyria|Valyrian]] practice of dynastic incest, so Dany grew up believing she would one day wed her brother. She was bright enough to realize that most of Viserys' plans for retaking the Seven Kingdoms were unrealistic, and as she had no memory of [[Westeros]] herself, his dream meant little to her; instead she longed to return to the house with the red door, which in her mind became a symbol for the childhood she had lost. With no family other than the abusive Viserys and no expectation of ever escaping his control, Dany grew into a fearful and docile young woman.

Viserys and Daenerys eventually found the help they sought in the [[Pentos|Free City of Pentos]], in the form of a rich and powerful [[magister]], [[Illyrio Mopatis]], who invited them to stay in his mansion and offered his help in reclaiming [[Iron Throne|their throne]].{{Ref|aGoT|3}}

[[File:Dany dragon.jpg|thumb|250px|Dany [[Dragons]] growing strong]]

While Daenerys and [[Viserys Targaryen|her brother]] stay at the mansion of [[Illyrio Mopatis]] in [[Pentos]], Illyrio arranges a marriage between Dany and the powerful [[Dothraki]] warlord [[Khal]] [[Drogo]]. In return, Drogo is to provide Viserys with ten thousand warriors for his campaign to retake the [[Iron Throne]]. Dany's opinion is not consulted, and she realizes this marriage is little different from being sold into [[slavery]]. She tells her brother she does not wish to marry Khal Drogo, but Viserys only threatens that she will “wake the dragon” if she fails to please the ''khal''. Despairing, Dany sees no choice but to do her best to avoid her brother's wrath, as she always had.{{Ref|aGoT|3}}

At the wedding, the exiled [[Westeros]]i [[knight]] Ser [[Jorah Mormont]] pledges his sword to the Targaryen cause. Dany receives three petrified dragon eggs from Illyrio, three handmaidens ([[Irri]], [[Jhiqui]] and [[Doreah]]) from her brother, and [[The Silver|a magnificent silver filly]] from Drogo. She is frightened by the seemingly barbaric Dothraki culture and particularly terrified of her bridegroom, a powerfully-built man who shares no common language with her. After the ceremony she weeps in terror, waiting for him to rape her, but Drogo proves to be a surprisingly considerate lover. He establishes that he understands the word “no” and begins touching her gently and gradually, only having intercourse with her after she expresses her consent and initiates it.{{Ref|aGoT|11}}

Life in the ''[[khalasar]]'' is difficult at first; Dany is lonely and unaccustomed to spending her days on horseback. Nevertheless, she is determined to embrace her new life. Gradually her body strengthens and she begins to enjoy the sense of freedom that came with the nomadic lifestyle. The first real turning point comes when Viserys flies into one of his rages at her and Dany, for the first time in her life, fights back, shoving him away – and finds herself backed up by [[Jhogo]], who whips Viserys and asks the ''[[khaleesi]]'' how he ought to be punished. Dany begns to realize that Viserys is ultimately a pathetic bully, and that she herself might not be as worthless as her brother has always claimed. From this day forward, she begins to assert herself more and more.{{Ref|aGoT|23}} She loses her fear of both the Dothraki and her brother, becoming a strong and confident woman who little resembles the timid girl who had left Pentos. Her growing courage pleases Drogo, and they developed a loving relationship.

Drogo takes Daenerys east to [[Vaes Dothrak]] and presents her to the ''[[dosh khaleen]]''. By the time they arrive, Daenerys, now fourteen, is pregnant with Drogo's child.{{Ref|aGoT|23}} She takes part in the [[stallion heart]] ceremony, and the ''dosh khaleen'' foretell that her son will be "the [[Stallion Who Mounts the World]]," a long-prophesied leader destined to unite the Dothraki into a single ''khalasar'' and conquer the world. Dany announces that the child will be named [[Rhaego]] in honor of her deceased brother [[Rhaegar Targaryen|Rhaegar]]. Viserys grows increasingly impatient for the aid he had been promised, and the situation comes to a head when he breaks Dothraki law by drawing a blade in the sacred city, threatening both Daenerys and her unborn child. Drogo announces that Viserys will have the golden crown he deserves and dumps a pot of molten gold over his head, killing him and making Daenerys the last Targaryen. Dany watches impassively.{{Ref|aGoT|46}}

With Viserys' death, Drogo loses interest in the notion of invading Westeros, despite Dany's attempts to persuade him. This changes, however, when Ser Jorah prevents an assassin from poisoning Daenerys and discovers that [[Robert Baratheon]] has placed a price on her head. Enraged, Drogo vows before his ''khalasar'' to avenge this insult by conquering Westeros to seat his son on the [[Iron Throne]] that his mother's ancestors had once held.{{Ref|aGoT|54}} The ''khalasar'' continues east, pillaging foreign lands with the intent of selling slaves for ships to make the crossing to Westeros. During one such raid of a [[Lhazareen]] town, Daenerys grows disturbed by the treatment of the defeated and finally gives orders to stop every rape she sees, claiming the victims as her personal slaves and taking them under her protection. The Dothraki are angered by the ''khaleesi'' denying them their traditional right to rape captives, but Daenerys holds her ground, prompting Jorah to comment that she reminds him of Rhaegar. Khal Drogo, delighted by his wife's boldness, supports her decision.<ref>[[A Game of Thrones]], [[A Game of Thrones-Chapter 61|Chapter 61]], Daenerys</ref>

Drogo is injured in the raid. A Lhazareen priestess, [[Mirri Maz Duur]], offers to treat him, and although Drogo's [[Bloodrider|bloodriders]] reviled the woman as a ''[[maegi]]'', Dany feels that she could trust her, as Mirri was one of the women she had rescued.<ref>[[A Game of Thrones]], [[A Game of Thrones-Chapter 61|Chapter 61]], Daenerys</ref> However, Drogo does not follow the priestess' advice, and the wound festers, making him too weak to ride. Jorah explained to Dany that her position as ''khaleesi'' is entirely dependent on Drogo, and without him, both she and her unborn son are likely to be killed. Desperate, she begs Mirri Maz Duur to save her husband, ignoring the possible consequences of [[Magic|blood magic]]. During the rite, Dany enters into labor and Ser Jorah carries her into Drogo's tent, where Mirri Maz Duur is in the process of summoning dark spirits.{{Ref|aGoT|64}} When Dany awoke days later, she learns that Rhaego was stillborn, while Drogo lives only as a catatonic husk. Mirri Maz Duur reveals that this was the true price of the blood magic, and that she felt no gratitude toward Dany, who had "rescued" her only after she had been raped multiple times and seen her community destroyed.

Dany euthanizes Drogo and is abandoned by most of the ''khalasar'', which breaks into rival war-bands.{{Ref|aGoT|68}} Jorah urges her to flee with him into the east, while the men of Dany's ''khas'' offer to escort her to Vaes Dothrak to take her place as a former ''khaleesi'' among the ''dosh khaleen''. Dany, however, decides to finally take control of her destiny. She orders Mirri Maz Duur bound to Drogo's funeral pyre and places the three dragon eggs around his corpse, then announces to Drogo's remaining followers that she is freeing those who were enslaved, and will lead them all to glory if they chose to follow her. She offers to [[Aggo]], [[Jhogo]] and [[Rakharo]] the traditional gifts of a ''khal'' to his bloodriders; each refuse, saying that to serve as bloodrider to a woman would shame them, but Daenerys ignores their objections. Ser Jorah accepts her offer, and she names him the first of her [[Kingsguard|Queensguard]].

Daenerys then walks unflinchingly into the flames. The resulting magic restores life to the eggs, from which three [[dragon|dragons]] hatched, the first known for centuries. Daenerys emerges from the fire unharmed. Drogo's former ''khalasar'', now hers more surely than they had ever been Drogo's, kneels in awe. Aggo, Jhogo and Rakharo willingly swear themselves as her bloodriders, and Daenerys becomes the first female Dothraki war-leader, a ''[[khaleesi]]'' in her own right.{{Ref|aGoT|72}}

===''A Clash of Kings''===
[[File:Hallmarccus Dany lion pelt.jpg|''If I look back I am lost''. © Hallmarccus|thumb|250px|right]]

Daenerys names the three dragons [[Viserion]], [[Rhaegal]] and [[Drogon]], after her two deceased brothers and her late husband, respectively.

She and the remains of Drogo's ''khalasar'' are stranded in a desolate area known as the [[Red Waste]]. They dare not turn toward the [[Dothraki Sea]], the cities of [[Slaver's Bay]], or even [[Lhazar]], for the group would have made easy prey for any Dothraki ''khalasar'' they encountered. Dany chooses instead to follow a red comet that had appeared in the sky following the hatching of her dragons; although the Dothraki view the comet as a foreboding omen, Dany believes that it heralds her own rise to power. The comet leads them to an ancient, abandoned city, which Dany names [[Vaes Tolorro]]. There they recover from the ravages of the desert while Dany sends scouts in all directions.

One scout returns with three emissaries, all prominent citizens from the great city of [[Qarth]]: the merchant [[Xaro Xhoan Daxos]], the warlock [[Pyat Pree]], and the mysterious masked Asshai'i [[Quaithe]]. Dany and her people accompany the Qartheen back to their city, where they stay as honored guests in the palatial home of Xaro. There Dany learns of King [[Robert Baratheon]]'s death and the civil war in the [[Seven Kingdoms]]. She attempts to seek out Qartheen allies who would provide her with aid in conquering [[Westeros]], but it swiftly becomes clear that the merchants of Qarth are only interested in obtaining her dragons.{{Ref|aCoK|12}}{{Ref|aCoK|27}}

Daenerys turns to Pyat Pree and the famous warlocks of Qarth. Against the judgment of her friends and counselors, she agrees to visit the [[House of the Undying]], seeking a vision of the warlocks' masters, the [[Undying Ones]].{{Ref|aCoK|40}} Although Jorah and her bloodriders beg to accompany her, she insists on entering alone. After receiving instructions from Pyat Pree, Dany drinks [[shade of the evening]] and entered the building. Inside, Dany beholds a number of strange visions, most apparently signifying past, present and future events in [[Westeros]]. Upon finally reaching the chamber of the Undying, Dany hears whispers hailing her as "Mother of Dragons" and prophesying that she will light three fires, ride three mounts, and face three betrayals. The Undying show Dany several more visions and then attack her, but with Drogon's help she destroys the House of the Undying.{{Ref|aCoK|48}}

Afterward, the people of Qarth turn against Daenerys; the warlocks are rumored to conspire against her life, while Xaro requests that Dany and her people leave his mansion. With nowhere else to turn, she finally considers the suggestions of the third emissary, Quaithe, who tells her that she must go further east to conquer the west.{{Ref|aCoK|48}} Dany visits the docks with Jorah to seek passage out of Qarth. There she notices two strangers following her. Thus distracted, she is off her guard when a [[Sorrowful Men|Sorrowful Man]] attempts to poison her with a [[manticore]], but one of the strangers intercedes and knocks the manticore aside just in time. The two men introduce themselves as [[Strong Belwas]], a eunuch and former pit fighter, and [[Barristan Selmy|Arstan Whitebeard]], an older [[Westeros]]i man serving as Belwas' squire. They claim to be agents sent by [[Illyrio Mopatis|Magister Illyrio]] with three ships to escort Daenerys and her party back to [[Pentos]]. Dany accepts the pair into her service and claim the three ships and their cargo for her own, renaming them ''[[Vhagar (ship)|Vhagar]]'', ''[[Meraxes (ship)|Meraxes]]'' and ''[[Balerion (ship)|Balerion]]'' after the three dragons that brought her ancestor [[Aegon the Conqueror]] and his sister-wives to Westeros. Dany and her companions thus set sail for Pentos.{{Ref|aCoK|63}}

===''A Storm of Swords''===
[[File:ReneAigner_Queen riding_to_war.jpg ‎| Queen Daenerys Targaryen leading her army astride [[her silver]] - by © Rene Aigner|thumb|350px|right]]
Several days into the trip, Ser [[Jorah]] manages to convince Daenerys to go to [[Astapor]], one of the great [[slave]] cities of [[Slaver's Bay]], to purchase [[Unsullied]] so she can return to [[Illyrio]] with an army at her back. He also kisses her and professes his love for her.{{Ref|aSoS|8}} Lonely since Drogo's death, Daenerys briefly takes her maid [[Irri]] as a lover.{{Ref|aSoS|23}} Once in [[Astapor]], Daenerys begins to have doubts about using [[slave]]s, still she agrees to purchases an army of every [[Unsullied]] in the ciry in exchange for her Dragon [[Drogon]]. She is given a slave [[Missandei]] as a gift from the [[Good Masters]]. Dany accepts, but she then frees [[Missandei]]. Dany tells Missandei that she can leave Dany's service whenever she wishes, but Missandei remains close and loyal to Dany.

After taking control of the [[Unsullied]], Dany betrays the Masters by breaking the deal, reclaims [[Drogon]] and commands him to use his fires against the [[Astapor]]i leaders. She then uses the Unsullied to [[Sack of Astapor|conquer the city]]. After the fighting, she proclaims all Astapori slaves free, including her Unsullied, giving her the name ''Breaker of Shackles'', or ''Breaker of Chains''. The [[Unsullied]] and many new [[Freedmen]] choose to follow her in her future battles. After forming a council to rule Astapor, she sets out for the next great slave city [[Yunkai]].{{Ref|aSoS|27}}

[[Yunkai]] hires two sellsword companies, the [[Stormcrows]] and the [[Second Sons]], in addition to conscripting a force of some four thousand slave soldiers. Daenerys parleys with the captains of the companies, hoping to convince them to switch sides. Her arguments convince one of the Stormcrows' commanders, [[Daario Naharis]], to assassinate his colleagues and pledge the company to Daenerys. To the Second Sons, Daenerys offers a great store of wine as tribute then [[Battle of Yunkai|attacks]] them in the night while they are drunk and sleeping. With the Stormcrows' betrayal and the Second Sons' drunkenness, Yunkai's [[slave]] army is unable to withstand Daenerys's Unsullied. The entire Yunkish army is slain, captured, or put to flight, and Yunkai surrenders a few days later.{{Ref|aSoS|42}}

Daenerys next made for [[Meereen]], the last of the great slave cities. Near Meereen, Daenerys is nearly killed by the [[Mero|Titan's Bastard]], the former captain of the Second Sons. [[Barristan Selmy|Arstan Whitebeard]] slays the Bastard, and finally reveals his true identity as [[Barristan Selmy]], a famous knight of her father's [[Kingsguard]] who had served the Usurper [[Robert Baratheon]] after the end of the Rebellion. He claims to have seen the error of his ways and to seeking her out as the true heir to the [[Seven Kingdoms]]. Selmy also reveals that [[Jorah Mormont]], still Daenerys's trusted right arm, has been sending reports on her actions to the spymaster in [[King's Landing]], [[Varys|Lord Varys]], hoping for a pardon from [[Robert Baratheon|King Robert]]. Daenerys feels betrayed by each of them, though both fervently wish to atone for their actions.{{Ref|aSoS|57}} During her [[Siege of Meereen]], she sends them on a covert suicide mission through the sewers, half hoping that they will die in the attempt. The mission succeeds and wins the city with minimal blood. Barristan humbly submits to his Queen's judgment and is forgiven. [[Jorah]] stubbornly continues to insist that he had done nothing wrong, and Daenerys is forced to banish him from her service, despite her desire to pardon him.

Having captured [[Meereen]], Dany turns her eyes toward [[Westeros]]. Through talks with Barristan about her homeland and its history, however, she learns that there is much she does not know about ruling. Upon hearing that Astapor and Yunkai cannot maintain the peace she had hoped to bring, she resolves to bring order to [[Slaver's Bay]] before leaving it behind. By this time, she is close on seventeen years.{{Ref|aSoS|71}}

===''A Feast for Crows''===
[[File:Daenerys_by_quickreaver.jpg|Daenerys by quickreaver,©Fantasy Flight Games|thumb|right|250px]]
Tales told by sailors reach [[Westeros]], dragons in [[Asshai]], dragons in [[Qarth]], dragons in [[Meereen]], [[Dothraki]] dragons, dragons freeing [[slave]]s … each telling differs from the last, but only in details. All speak of [[dragons]], and a beautiful young queen. {{Ref|aFfC|Prologue}}

===''A Dance with Dragons''===
[[Image:Daenerys.jpg|thumb|250px|Daenerys Targaryen with Dragons, by [http://en.amokanet.ru/gallery/martin/targaryens_1237.html Amoka©]]]
Dany struggles as ruler of [[Meereen]], mainly due to the constant threats surrounding her. A portion of [[Meereen]]'s former slaving families who call themselves the [[Sons of the Harpy]] fight a shadow war with her followers, attacking lone freedmen or [[Unsullied]] in the black of night and drawing a harpy nearby with the man's blood.{{Ref|aDwD|2}} The sons have also scrawled graffiti on the walls of Meereen in blood promising a death to the families of any who serve the Dragon Queen.

In Meereen, men traditionally wear their oiled black and red hair in varying shapes in homage to [[Ghis|Ghiscari]] culture. The Meereenese who now serve Dany shave their heads, symbolizing the abandonment of old Meereen to serve the new. These men are known as [[Shavepates]], and are led by [[Skahaz mo Kandaq]], known as ''the Shavepate''. Another of her Meereenese councilors is the seneschal, [[Reznak mo Reznak]].

Three fighting companies were also formed by Daenerys, their members comprised from her freeman. The company names are [[Mother's Men]]; The Company of the [[Free Brothers]]; and the [[Stalwart Shields]]. They have been receiving their training in arms from [[Grey Worm]].

Daenery's dragons have grown wilder, hunting sheep and livestock. Eventually a petitioner comes to her, presenting the bones of his six-year-old girl daughter "[[Hazzea]]", claiming the "[[Drogon|winged shadow]]" had killed her.{{Ref|aDwD|2}} Prompted by this, Dany has her [[Unsullied]] capture the dragons using nets and chains and lock them below ground to prevent any more such killings. In a [[dragon pit (Great Pyramid)|closed fighting pit]], [[Viserion]] and [[Rhaegal]] are captured (though several Unsullied lose their lives in the process), but [[Drogon]] escapes and disappears. During this time, she has a vision of [[Quaithe]] that offers her prophetic advice, most specifically warning her not to trust the perfumed seneschal.{{Ref|aDwD|11}}

Daenerys has grave enemies outside [[Meereen]] as well as in. Since she ended the [[slave]] trade in [[Slaver's Bay]], several of the [[Free Cities]] that rely upon the slave trade of the slave cities to fuel their economy have promised help to the [[Yunkai]] to bring her down. Yunkai has hired sellsword legions such as the [[Long Lances]], the [[Company of the Cat]] and the [[Windblown]]. Legions have also arrived from [[New Ghis]].

The Yunkai host first takes [[Astapor]] from [[Cleon|Cleon the Butcher King]], its most recent ruler, and puts thousands of its inhabitants to the sword or sends them again into slavery.{{Ref|aDwD|25}} An escaped rider who managed to flee in the confusion of the siege brings word of this to Dany in Meereen. Unfortunately word is not the only thing he brings, as he is infected with the [[bloody flux]].{{Ref|aDwD|30}} Several other [[Astapor]]i citizens flee to Meereen, bringing the disease with them.

The merchant emissary [[Xaro Xhoan Daxos]] arrives from [[Qarth]] bearing a gift of 13 ships in exchange for Dany's abandon of [[Slaver's Bay]] and departure for [[Westeros]]. Dany wishes to go, but the thirteen ships are not enough to take her entire army of Unsullied, [[Dothraki]], sellswords and freedmen. The Shavepates beg her not to go. If she does, they who served her and their families will die by the Sons of the Harpy. She refuses Xaro, which prompts [[Qarth]] to join the Yunkai against her.{{Ref|aDwD|16}}

Deaths of freedmen and Unsullied continue to grow nightly, and several former freed slave women are raped by the Sons of the Harpy before having their throats slit open. Daenerys takes the children of several Meereenese families of dubious loyalty as [[Cupbearers of Daenerys Targaryen|Cupbearers]] in name, but hostages in truth in hopes that would stop the killing. The killings only continue though and Daenerys refuses to harm the child hostages.

In despair and loneliness, Dany takes [[Daario Naharis]] as a lover. A plan is put to her by the [[Graces|Meereenese priestess]], the [[Green Grace]] [[Galazza Galare]], suggesting that Dany should wed the Meereenese noble [[Hizdahr zo Loraq]] to bring peace. After a time Dany agrees, on the condition that [[Hizdahr]] can promise her 90 days of peace. Hizdahr agrees.{{Ref|aDwD|23}} [[Ben Plumm|Brown Ben Plumm]], captain of the [[Second Sons]], learns that Dany can no longer control her dragons, and takes his company over to the Yunkai.
[[File: Drogon in Daznak's Pit.jpg|Daenerys and Drogon in [[Daznak's Pit]] - by Marc Simonetti ©|thumb|350px]]

At this point, [[Quentyn Martell]] of [[Dorne]] arrives to make a marriage claim, but is rejected because Dany has already promised to wed Hizdahr. After [[Hizdahr zo Loraq]] succeeds at keeping his promise of peace, Dany weds him.{{Ref|aDwD|43}} Under his direction, Dany, much to her disgust, suggests peace terms with [[Yunkai]]. She promises if they leave [[Meereen]] and do not enslave any of the former slaves she freed, she will not disrupt the slave trade of [[Slaver's Bay]] any further. The Yunkai agree.{{Ref|aDwD|50}}

To mark the occasion, the [[fighting pits]] are reopened and several gladiators (who freely agreed to compete) battle in the arena of [[Daznak's Pit]].

'''House Tully of Riverrun''' is one of the Great Houses of [[Seven Kingdoms]]. Lord [[Hoster Tully]] rules over the [[Riverlands]] from the Tully seat of [[Riverrun]]. Their sigil is a silver trout leaping on a blue and red striped field, and their words are "Family, Duty, Honor."{{Ref|aGoT|18}} Members of the family tend to have auburn hair, high cheekbones, and bright blue eyes.

==History==
House Tully is an old noble house, dating back to the [[Age of Heroes]]. Unlike many Great Houses they never ruled as kings, but held [[Riverrun]] for a thousand years as vassals of those who did. House Tully rose to prominence during the [[War of Conquest]], when Lord [[Edmyn Tully]] led the rebel river lords who deserted King [[Harren the Black]] and joined [[Aegon the Conqueror]]. Edmyn was rewarded with dominion over the Riverlands.{{Ref|aGoT|Appendix}}

Given the Riverlands' geographic vulnerability, House Tully has ever sought alliances in case of invasion. Lord [[Hoster Tully]] sought to wed his brother [[Brynden Tully|Ser Brynden]], hero of the [[War of the Ninepenny Kings]] to [[Bethany Redwyne]], but Brynden would have none of it. This began a years-long quarrel between the two, for which Brynden earned the moniker "''Blackfish''." Hoster also took a ward, [[Petyr Baelish]], then an obscure lordling from the [[Fingers]]. Petyr fell in love with Lord Tully's eldest daughter [[Catelyn]], but was rebuffed. As consolation he took the virginity of [[Lysa Tully|Lysa]], Hoster's other daughter. Hoster forbade Petyr from marrying either of his daughters due to his low standing, and ordered Lysa to drink [[moon tea]] to prevent her from bearing Petyr's child. Hoster accepted an offer from [[Tywin Lannister]] to wed [[Jaime Lannister]] to Lysa, but Jaime unexpectedly joined the [[Kingsguard]] before this could occur. Hoster rebuffed Tywin's offer of [[Tyrion]] as a replacement. Other prospects existed from [[House Brax]] and others, but Hoster finally accepted an offer from Lord [[Rickard Stark]] that Catelyn be betrothed to [[Brandon Stark]], heir to [[Winterfell]]. Petyr Baelish dueled Brandon for Catelyn's favor, resulting in his exile from Riverrun. Brandon and Rickard's executions by the [[Mad King]] complicated matters, but Lord Hoster threw in with the [[Robert's Rebellion|ensuing rebellion]], arranging for Catelyn to wed Brandon's brother [[Eddard Stark|Lord Eddard]] and for Lysa to marry Lord [[Jon Arryn]]. The Riverlands was a major theater of the war, and Lord Hoster fought in the [[Battle of the Bells]] and crushed the royalist houses of [[House Goodbrook|Goodbrook]], [[House Darry|Darry]], [[House Mooton|Mooton]], and [[House Ryger|Ryger]]. His control over his bannermen was not complete; aside from these recalcitrant houses, [[House Frey]] delayed their contribution until after the decisive [[Battle of the Trident]], itself fought in the Riverlands. After the war, the Tully girls rode off to their husbands' seats, with Ser Brynden accompanying Lysa to the [[Vale]] to serve as [[Knight of the Gate]].

==Recent Events==
===''A Game of Thrones''===
Lord [[Hoster Tully]] is an old man, afflicted with an illness which has left him a bed-ridden invalid. His responsibilities fall on his son and heir, Ser [[Edmure Tully]]. After the death of her husband, [[Lysa Tully|Lysa]] sends a coded message to [[Catelyn]] warning her of the [[Lannister]]s. When Catelyn later sails to [[King's Landing]] to speak with her husband [[Eddard Stark|Eddard]] about an attempt on their son [[Bran]]'s life, [[Petyr Baelish]] (now [[Master of Coin]]) says that the dagger used was [[Tyrion Lannister]]'s. On her return to [[Winterfell]], Catelyn captures Tyrion and brings him to her sister at the [[Eyrie]] for trial. Lord [[Tywin Lannister]] sends raiders to the Riverlands in retaliation and calls his banners to [[Lannisport]]. The Tullys send survivors of the raids along with a highborn delegation to beseech the [[Iron Throne]] for justice. Meanwhile, Edmure sends a defensive force to the border of the [[Westerlands]], but they [[Battle of the Golden Tooth|are crushed]] beneath the [[Golden Tooth]] by Ser [[Jaime Lannister]], who goes on to capture Edmure, [[Battle of Riverrun|scattering his forces]] and besieging the Tully seat. Meanwhile Lysa's [[Vardis Egen|champion]] loses a trial by combat and Tyrion goes free. Lysa refuses to commit the Vale's forces to the [[War of the Five Kings|war]] against the Lannisters. Ser [[Brynden Tully|Brynden the Blackfish]], disgusted by her behavior, rides off to join Catelyn's son [[Robb Stark]] in defending Riverrun. Robb, through a brilliant maneuver, [[Battle of the Whispering Wood|captures the Kingslayer]] and [[Battle of the Camps|breaks the siege]] with an ambitious surprise attack led by Ser Brynden. Lord [[Tytos Blackwood]], commanding the garrison in Riverrun, leads a sortie against the Lannister rear and rescues Edmure. After the battle, in the great hall of Riverrun, the riverlords and northmen proclaim him [[King in the North]] and [[King of the Trident|of the Trident]].

===''A Clash of Kings''===
Ser Brynden reconciles with his dying brother before riding off with King Robb in his Westerlands campaign. He commands the outriders, and leads the van in [[Battle of Oxcross|smashing a third Lannister host]]. Catelyn rides south to treat with [[Renly Baratheon]], but Renly is killed just after they secure an alliance. Ser Edmure stays behind in the Riverlands. Meaning well, he takes in smallfolk from across the Riverlands in an effort to guard them from Lannister raiders, but this reduces Riverrun's stores considerably. He unwittingly foils Robb's strategy by [[Battle of the Fords|denying Lord Tywin's crossing]] of the Trident. After she hears of the supposed deaths of two of her sons, Catelyn creates another complication by releasing Jaime Lannister from captivity in Riverrun in an effort to free her daughters.

For his service allying [[House Tyrell]] with the Lannisters and [[House Baratheon of King's Landing]], Lord [[Petyr Baelish]] is named [[Lord Paramount of the Trident]] by King [[Joffrey Baratheon]]. According to the [[Iron Throne]], Petyr replaces the rebellious Hoster as liege lord of the Riverlands.{{ref|ACOK|65}}

===''A Storm of Swords''===
In his last weeks, Lord Hoster slips into delirium, and recalls with regret his order for Lysa to abort Petyr Baelish's child. Edmure and Catelyn (now on house arrest) are with him as his life ends, but their calls for Lysa to attend go unanswered. She remains in the Vale, where she marries Petyr Baelish. On Hoster's death, Edmure becomes Lord of Riverrun in title as well as fact. In accordance with traditional Tully funeral rites, Hoster's body is sent in a boat down the river by seven pallbearing bannermen, and the boat is set alight by a flaming arrow shot by his heir, although the Blackfish has to step in for Edmure. Robb, having returned, has wed [[Jeyne Westerling]], a lesser Lannister vassal, thereby breaking his marriage contract with House Frey. To make up for his frustrating Robb's strategy, Edmure agrees to marry a Frey in his stead. The Blackfish is named [[Warden of the Southern Marches]] and holds Riverrun while the others attend the wedding. While at [[the Twins]] for Edmure's marriage to [[Roslin Frey]], the Tullys and Starks [[Red Wedding|are betrayed]]. Catelyn, Robb, and many others are murdered under [[guest right]]. In mockery of the Tully funeral customs, Catelyn is thrown naked from the castle walls into the river. Lord Edmure is captured and House Tully is stripped of its lands, titles, and incomes. The lordship of Riverrun and its associated lands and incomes are given to the newly established [[House Frey of Riverrun]], though House Tully's status as overlords of the Riverlands has already passed to their former ward, [[Petyr Baelish]], now [[House Baelish of Harrenhal|Lord of Harrenhal]].{{Ref|aSoS|72}} Ser Brynden is [[Siege of Riverrun|besieged by Freys]] at Riverrun, one of the last anti-Lannister strongholds in the south. Meanwhile Lysa is thrown to her death by her new husband Petyr Baelish. Catelyn's corpse is found by the outlaw lord [[Beric Dondarrion]], gives his own life to breathe life into her - of a sort. The new Catelyn, who is known as Lady Stoneheart, takes leadership of Beric's [[Brotherhood Without Banners]] and goes on a campaign of vengeance, killing anyone she finds remotely associated with the Red Wedding.

===''A Feast for Crows''===
At Riverrun, Brynden withstands daily threats that Edmure will be hanged. Finally Jaime Lannister arrives and negotiates an end to the siege - but not before Brynden is able to escape to parts unknown. Edmure is being held in genteel captivity at [[Casterly Rock]], with his wife Roslin slated to join him after she gives birth.

'''House Tully of Riverrun''' is one of the Great Houses of [[Seven Kingdoms]]. Lord [[Hoster Tully]] rules over the [[Riverlands]] from the Tully seat of [[Riverrun]]. Their sigil is a silver trout leaping on a blue and red striped field, and their words are "Family, Duty, Honor."{{Ref|aGoT|18}} Members of the family tend to have auburn hair, high cheekbones, and bright blue eyes.

==History==
House Tully is an old noble house, dating back to the [[Age of Heroes]]. Unlike many Great Houses they never ruled as kings, but held [[Riverrun]] for a thousand years as vassals of those who did. House Tully rose to prominence during the [[War of Conquest]], when Lord [[Edmyn Tully]] led the rebel river lords who deserted King [[Harren the Black]] and joined [[Aegon the Conqueror]]. Edmyn was rewarded with dominion over the Riverlands.{{Ref|aGoT|Appendix}}

Given the Riverlands' geographic vulnerability, House Tully has ever sought alliances in case of invasion. Lord [[Hoster Tully]] sought to wed his brother [[Brynden Tully|Ser Brynden]], hero of the [[War of the Ninepenny Kings]] to [[Bethany Redwyne]], but Brynden would have none of it. This began a years-long quarrel between the two, for which Brynden earned the moniker "''Blackfish''." Hoster also took a ward, [[Petyr Baelish]], then an obscure lordling from the [[Fingers]]. Petyr fell in love with Lord Tully's eldest daughter [[Catelyn]], but was rebuffed. As consolation he took the virginity of [[Lysa Tully|Lysa]], Hoster's other daughter. Hoster forbade Petyr from marrying either of his daughters due to his low standing, and ordered Lysa to drink [[moon tea]] to prevent her from bearing Petyr's child. Hoster accepted an offer from [[Tywin Lannister]] to wed [[Jaime Lannister]] to Lysa, but Jaime unexpectedly joined the [[Kingsguard]] before this could occur. Hoster rebuffed Tywin's offer of [[Tyrion]] as a replacement. Other prospects existed from [[House Brax]] and others, but Hoster finally accepted an offer from Lord [[Rickard Stark]] that Catelyn be betrothed to [[Brandon Stark]], heir to [[Winterfell]]. Petyr Baelish dueled Brandon for Catelyn's favor, resulting in his exile from Riverrun. Brandon and Rickard's executions by the [[Mad King]] complicated matters, but Lord Hoster threw in with the [[Robert's Rebellion|ensuing rebellion]], arranging for Catelyn to wed Brandon's brother [[Eddard Stark|Lord Eddard]] and for Lysa to marry Lord [[Jon Arryn]]. The Riverlands was a major theater of the war, and Lord Hoster fought in the [[Battle of the Bells]] and crushed the royalist houses of [[House Goodbrook|Goodbrook]], [[House Darry|Darry]], [[House Mooton|Mooton]], and [[House Ryger|Ryger]]. His control over his bannermen was not complete; aside from these recalcitrant houses, [[House Frey]] delayed their contribution until after the decisive [[Battle of the Trident]], itself fought in the Riverlands.

House Reed swears it allegiance to [[House Stark]] of [[Winterfell]] in a different form than other houses. It is as follows:
{{quote|“To Winterfell we pledge the faith of Greywater. Hearth and heart and harvest we yield up to you, my lord. Our swords and spears and arrows are yours to command. Grant mercy to our weak, help to our helpless, and justice to all, and we shall never fail you.I swear it by earth and water. I swear it by bronze and iron. “We swear it by ice and fire.”{{ref|acok|21}}}}

==References in the books==

===A Song of Ice and Fire===
* Howland Reed was one of the six companions of [[Eddard Stark]] that went with him to the [[Tower of Joy]], and the only one that survived the fight against the three members of [[Aerys II]]'s [[Kingsguard]]. Eddard said that he would not have survived the battle if it were not for Howland Reed.
* Howland Reed is said to have remained at Greywater's Watch since the end of the war.
* Although the crannogmen did not join [[Robb Stark]]'s army, they were instructed to protect [[the Neck]] if the [[House Lannister|Lannisters]] tried to come up to [[the North]].
* Howland Reed sent his children Meera and Jojen to [[Winterfell]] to represent the family in the harvest feast and renew the oath to the [[House Stark|Starks]].
* Meera and Jojen played a significant part in the Starks escape during the fall of Winterfell, and accompanied [[Bran Stark|Bran]] in his travel to meet the [[three-eyed crow]].
* Though House Reed has not openly aligned itself with either [[Roose Bolton]] or [[Stannis Baratheon]] in the conflicts in The North after the War of Five Kings, Roose Bolton does not seem to trust Howland Reed - he traveled in a wagon and with a decoy while in The Neck as a precaution.

The '''Dance of the Dragons''' was a civil war during [[House Targaryen|Targaryen rule]]. A war of succession between [[Aegon II Targaryen|Aegon II]] and his half-sister [[Rhaenyra Targaryen|Rhaenyra]] over their father [[Viserys I Targaryen|Viserys I's]] throne, the war was fought from {{Date|129}} to {{Date|131}}. It saw the deaths of both rival monarchs, and the crowning of Rhaenyra's son, [[Aegon III Targaryen|Aegon III]].

In early 2013 it was announced that the anthology ''Dangerous Women'', previously expected to include the fourth ''[[Dunk and Egg]]'' story, will instead include a novella by [[George R. R. Martin]] named ''[[The Princess and the Queen]]'' which he described as "(...) the true (mostly) story of the origins of the Dance of the Dragons."<ref name="PQ">''[[The Princess and the Queen]]''</ref>

==Background==
King Viserys I had three children by his first queen of [[House Arryn]], but only one, Princess [[Rhaenyra Targaryen|Rhaenyra]], survived to adulthood. Lacking a son to succeed him, Viserys began to train Princess Rhaenyra to be his heir. Young Rhaenyra was included in discussions of the affairs of state, and was allowed to participate in meetings of the [[small council]]. Many of the nobles took note, and Rhaenyra soon acquired a clique of adherents and supporters. However, after his queen died, the king remarried in {{date|106}}, this time to [[Alicent Hightower]] and had four more children, including three sons, the eldest son named [[Aegon II Targaryen|Aegon]]. Nonetheless, Rhaenyra's strengthened her place in the succession; she married Ser [[Laenor Velaryon]] - who himself had Targaryen blood - in her first marriage. She gave birth to three sons during her marriage, although there are rumours that the father of these boys was not Ser Laenor, but Rhaenyra's lover Ser [[Harwin Strong]].

When [[Laenor Velaryon]] passed away Rhaenyra married anew, this time her own uncle, Prince [[Daemon Targaryen (husband of Rhaenyra)|Daemon Targaryen]], younger brother to [[Viserys I]]. Her sons by him are the future [[Aegon III Targaryen|Aegon III]] (called Aegon the Younger in his youth) and [[Viserys II Targaryen|Viserys II]]. Her father's intention that she should follow him on the [[Iron Throne]] was confirmed by proclamation and the will of [[Viserys I]]. In {{date|105}}, hundreds of [[Lord]]s and landed [[knight]]s had done obeisance to the Princess [[Rhaenyra Targaryen|Rhaenyra]].

In [[111 AL]], a great tourney was held at [[King’s Landing]] on the fifth anniversary of the king’s marriage to Queen Alicent. At the opening feast, the queen wore a green gown, whilst the [[Rhaenyra Targaryen|Princess Rhaenyra]] dressed dramatically in Targaryen red and black. Note was taken, and thereafter it became the custom to refer to “[[The greens|greens]]” and “[[The blacks|blacks]]” when talking of the queen’s party and the party of the princess, respectively. In the tourney itself, the blacks had much the better of it when Ser [[Criston Cole]], wearing Princess Rhaenyra’s favor, unhorsed all of the Queen’s champions, including two of her cousins and her youngest brother, Ser [[Gwayne Hightower]]. <ref name="PQ">''[[The Princess and the Queen]]''</ref>

==Preliminary activities==
Upon Viserys' death in {{Date|129}}, the Lord Commander of the [[Kingsguard]], Ser [[Criston Cole]], later called "the Kingmaker", defied the king's will, and crowned Prince Aegon as Aegon II. Ser Criston's motivations for doing so are unclear, but it was reputed that he and Rhaenyra were lovers, and their affair ended badly, adding a personal dimension to the conflict. He may simply have wished to uphold [[Andal]] tradition. In any event, many of the lords of the realm were aware of Viserys' wish to have Rhaenyra succeed him as Westeros's first [[w:queen regnant|queen regnant]], and threw their support behind the Princess. Doubtless, many of them were also the same supporters who has spent years currying favor with the presumptive future queen. Among Rhaenyra's staunchest supporters were her first husband's family, [[House Velaryon]] of [[Driftmark]]. Rhaenyra disputed Aegon's claim, resulting in a bloody civil war. The realm was split in half. Even the Kingsguard chose sides, exemplified when the brothers Ser [[Arryk]] and Ser [[Erryk]] killed each other.<ref>[http://www.westeros.org/Citadel/SSM/Entry/1164/ Kingsguard in the Dance of Dragons]</ref> {{Ref|aGoT|8}} Targaryen fought Targaryen and dragon fought dragon, with many lesser branches of House Targaryen and most of the Targaryen dragons being killed in the war, among them Rhaenyra's three eldest sons, who all died fighting.<ref name="PQ">''[[The Princess and the Queen]]''</ref>

In the war, armies marched and met in savage battle, much of the slaughter took place on water, and in the air, as dragon fought dragon with tooth and claw and flame. It was also marked by stealth, murder, and betrayal.<ref name="PQ">''[[The Princess and the Queen]]''</ref>

[[Master of Coin]] [[Lyman Beesbury]] was noted as the first casualty of the war. He was killed by Criston after speaking for Rhaenyra at the small council meeting discussing succession after King Viserys I's death.<ref name="PQ">''[[The Princess and the Queen]]''</ref>

Aegon II sent [[Grand Maester]] [[Orwyle]] to plead for peace with generous terms, which Rhaenyra refused.

[[Daemon Targaryen (husband of Rhaenyra)|Daemon Targaryen]] [[Fall of Harrenhal (Dance of the Dragons)|seized]] the castle of [[Harrenhal]] as a toehold in the mainland while the rest of the blacks held [[Dragonstone]]. [[House Velaryon]]'s fleet, commanded by the [[Corlys Velaryon |Sea Snake]], blocked off [[Blackwater Bay]].

==War==
'''Dance over Shipbreaker Bay''' 
[[Lucerys Velaryon]] and his dragon [[Arrax]] were killed at Storm's End by [[Aemond Targaryen]] and [[Vhagar]]. In retribution, Daemon sent two thugs named [[Blood (the butcher)|Blood]] and [[Cheese (the rat-catcher)|Cheese]] to kill Prince [[Jaehaerys Targaryen (son of Aegon II)|Jaehaerys Targaryen]]. The war turned bloody from this point onward.

'''[[Battle of Burning Mill]] and [[Battle of Stone Hedge]]''' 
Following the murder of Prince Jaehaerys, the Greens suffered two defeats at [[Burning Mill]] and [[Stone Hedge]].

'''[[Sack of Duskendale]] and [[Battle of Rook's Rest]]''' 
Aegon named [[Criston Cole]], the Commander of his [[Kingsguard]], as his new [[Hand of the King|Hand]] because of [[Otto Hightower]]'s delays. They sacked [[Duskendale]] and set a trap at [[Rook's Rest]]. Cole fought against [[Rhaenys Targaryen]] and her dragon, [[Meleys]], until Aegon's dragons arrived. Rhaenys and her Meleys were slain. Aegon was severely wounded and Prince Aemond took over as [[regent]] while he recovered for the year.

'''The Search for Dragonseed''' 
When planning the attack on King's Landing, Prince [[Jacaerys Velaryon]] decided that they would need more dragons and so the search for new riders in the [[dragonseed]]s began.

'''[[Battle in the Gullet]]''' 
[[Jacaerys Velaryon]] gathered four dragonriders from the seeds on [[Dragonstone]]. An alliance with the [[Essos]]i [[Kingdom of the Three Daughters]], set up by Aegon II's first Hand, became cemented. Their admiral, [[Sharako Lohar]] of [[Lys]], took a combined fleet of ninety warships from the [[Stepstones]]. Jace met them with his dragons.

The result was the bloodiest sea battles in history. [[The blacks]]' blockade was broken, but only twenty-eight Triarchy ships survived. The [[Velaryon]] fleet lost almost a third of its strength. Jaecarys and his dragon, [[Vermax]], were slain. [[Driftmark]] was burned. Jace marked the second son of Queen Rhaenyra after Luke to die in the Dance.

'''[[Battle on the Honeywine]]''' 
[[Ormund Hightower]] was flanked and outnumbered in the Reach. Ormund's squire, [[Daeron Targaryen (son of Viserys I)|Daeron Targaryen]], arrived on his dragon, [[Tessarion]], and won the battle. Ormund knighted Daeron for saving him. This was a bitter defeat for the blacks.

'''[[Liberation of Rook's Rest]]''' 
Aemond and Cole gathered their forces to march on Harrenhal. Prince Daemon learned of it from his spies in the city and sent word to the Blacks. Lord [[Walys Mooton]] joined forces with [[House Crabb]], [[House Brune]], and [[House Celtigar]] and marched to Rook's Rest, taking the castle by surprise. The Blacks also tried to slay Sunfyre but failed. Lord Mooton perished and the dragon fled.

'''[[Fall of King's Landing|Conquest of the Capital]]''' 
With the the capital largely defenseless, Daemon took flight to King's Landing along with his wife. The Queen Dowager tried to send riders to bring back Aemond and ravens to loyal lords, but her efforts were quickly stopped. The [[City Watch of King's Landing|City Watch]] was loyal to Daemon, who had once been their leader, slew Aegon's loyalist commanders and opened the gates to the black forces who arrived by Velaryon ships. The city was firmly in Rhaenyra's hands, but Aegon II had escaped.

'''[[Battle by the Lakeshore]]/the Fishfeed''' 
[[House Lannister|Lannister]] forces marched east to back up the greens, but had slowed due to the infirmity of Lord [[House Lefford|Lefford]]. They were surrounded by northmen and rivermen from three sides and forced into the waters of the [[Gods Eye]]. The Lannister forces were slaughtered, but the casualties were high on the black side as well, with 2,000 dying on both sides.

'''[[Fall of Dragonstone]]''' 
Disguised as one of the [[smallfolk]] Aegon II hid on [[Dragonstone]] after Rhaenyra initially took the capital for several months. Aegon was able to take the island in less than an hour by turning several embittered men over to his side. [[Moondancer]] died during the Fall and [[Baela Targaryen]] was injured and burned.

'''[[Battle at the stony ridge]]''' 
Guerrilla tactics harried the Kingmaker's march from Harrenhal towards King's Landing. By the time they reached the village of [[Crossed Elms]] their numbers and morale was low. When they reached a stony ridge south of the [[Gods Eye]] they were met with nearly 7,000 blacks. Cole only had 3,600 men and no dragons, as Aemond had left on Vhagar to burn the [[Riverlands]]. Cole was slain early in the battle, and his men fled quickly.

'''The Treasons of Tumbleton/[[First Battle of Tumbleton]]''' 
Queen Rhaenyra had 9,000 men defending the town of [[Tumbleton]] in the northeast of [[the Reach]]. [[Silverwing]] and [[Vermithor]] arrived to relieve them. Together they faced a larger army lead by [[Ormund Hightower]] and his scout Daeron on [[Tessarion|the Blue Queen]]. Hightower's army infiltrated the city disguised as refugees.

The commander of the blacks' [[northmen]], Lord [[Roderick Dustin]], died while slaying Hightower, whose army seemed defeated. The dragonseed, [[Hugh Hammer]] and [[Ulf the White|Ulf White]], switched sides from blacks to greens and set Tumbleton to the flames. No quarter was given, even when Lord [[House Footly|Footly]]'s men surrendered. They became known as the [[Two Betrayers]].

With the Two Betrayers on their minds, many voices in the [[black council]] questioned [[Addam Velaryon]]’s loyalty. Only Lord Corlys spoke in defence of the [[dragonseed]], remarking that Ser Addam and his brother [[Alyn Velaryon (Alyn of Hull)|Alyn]] were “true heirs” and worthy of [[Driftmark]].

The Hand’s impassioned protests were in vain and Queen Rhaenyra, suspecting a turncloak, commanded Ser [[Luthor Largent]] to arrest Addam Velaryon in the [[Dragonpit]]. Addam, who had been forewarned, managed to make his escape flying away with [[Seasmoke]], fleeing before he could be put to the question. By ordering the arrest of Addam, the queen lost not only a dragon but her Queen’s Hand as well. Corlys was beaten and imprisoned for warning Addam.

When it became known that Lord Corlys was languishing in a dungeon under the Red Keep, the army that had sailed from [[Dragonstone]] to seize the [[Iron Throne]] began to abandon Rhaenyra’s cause by the hundreds. The ones that remained could not be trusted. Rhaenyra had lost her fleet.

'''[[Dance over Harrenhal]]''' 
Daemon challenged [[Aemond Targaryen]], waiting for thirteen days at [[Harrenhal]] until Aemond stopped burning the [[Riverlands]] to come face him. The fight ended in the death of both riders and both dragons over the [[God's Eye]].

'''[[Riot of King's Landing (the Dance of the Dragons)|Riots at King's Landing]]''' 
Unable to leave the capital, the smallfolk of King's Landing panicked at the impending threat of dragon fire burning the city. With no other means of escape, they turned to the taverns. When Helaena died, rumors that she'd been murdered spread. That was the spark to ignite the riots. 500 Gold Cloaks faced 10,000 smallfolk. The riot roamed across Cobbler's Square and [[Flea Bottom]], claiming many lives of both the gold cloaks and smallfolk, including [[Luthor Largent]] and [[Lorent Marbrand]]. It lasted for a full night and half a day and left many areas of the city in control of peasant-kings and knights. But the next night the riots began again in larger numbers. They opened the gates of the city.

'''[[Storming of the Dragonpit]]''' 
As the riots continued, a crazed prophet called [[Shepherd (one-handed prophet)|the Shepherd]] convinced the mobs that all dragons should die. Rhaenyra did not believe the mobs presented a threat to the dragons, but her son [[Joffrey Velaryon|Joffrey]] thought otherwise and died trying to save them. The dragons [[Shrykos]], [[Morghul]], [[Tyraxes]], and [[Dreamfyre]] were killed by the mob, unable to fly away from their chains or the barred bronze gates of the pit. Dreamfyre's final escape attempt collapsed the building. [[Syrax]], who was kept near the Keep, fought the mob but fell too.

'''[[Second Battle of Tumbleton]]''' 
Addam rode Seasmoke to Tumbleton with a host of 4,000 men in order to prove [[bastard]]s are not turncloaks by nature. He fought against the [[Two Betrayers]] and the Hightower army, who had been taken by surprise in the night. [[Hugh Hammer|Hard Hugh]] was betrayed and slain by [[Jon Roxton|Bold Jon]] because Hugh aimed to take the crown for himself. Jon was killed in turn by Hugh's men. Daeron died when his tent was set on fire. Seasmoke, Addam, Tessarion, and Vermithor died in the battle. The green army was defeated and their prince killed along with three dragons, but the blacks were unable to retake Tumbleton.

After the battle [[Hobert Hightower]] and [[Ulf the White|Ulf White]] drank poisoned wine and died.

Rhaenyra escaped to Dragonstone where she thought it was safe. Unbeknownst to her, however, the island had fallen to King Aegon II. She was captured and put to death as a traitor. Aegon had her eaten by his dragon, [[Sunfyre]], as her own son, also named [[Aegon III Targaryen|Aegon]], watched. However, her followers carried on under the banner of her son, calling him Aegon III. The bloody conflict ended half a year later in {{Date|131}} with the death of Aegon II and the ascension of his nephew Aegon III to the throne, presumably because he had no children of his own and/or some compromise between the supporters of the two factions.

==End==
Since the Dance, House Targaryen has practiced a highly modified version of agnatic primogeniture, placing female claimants in the line of succession behind all possible male ones, even collateral relations. (See also [[Daena Targaryen]], [[Daeron II]]). The war is the subject of the song "''[[The Dance of the Dragons (song)|The Dance of the Dragons]]''", as well as [[The Dance of the Dragons, A True Telling|a somewhat inaccurate history]] by [[Grand Maester]] [[Munkun]]. [[Archmaester]] [[Gyldayn]] wrote a history of it called ''The Princess and the Queen or the Blacks and the Greens''.

[[File:Zippo514 Pyke.jpg|[[Pyke]], castle and seat of House Greyjoy- by Zippo514 ©|thumb|300px|right]]
'''House Greyjoy of Pyke''' is one of the Great Houses of [[Westeros]]. It rules over the [[Iron Islands]], a harsh and bleak collection of forbidding islands off the west coast of Westeros, from the castle of [[Pyke]] on the [[Pyke (island)|island of the same name]]. Their sigil is a golden [[kraken]] on a black field, and their house motto is "We Do Not Sow."{{Ref|aGoT|7}}{{Ref|aCoK|11}} Members of the family tend to be attractive and well-built, with black hair.

==History==
The House descends from the [[Grey King]], a legendary figure from the [[Age of Heroes]]. The Greyjoys became the lords of the [[Iron Isles]] during the [[House Targaryen|Targaryen]] [[War of Conquest|Conquest]]: after [[Aegon I]] extinguished [[House Hoare]], he allowed the [[ironborn]] to choose who would have primacy over them. They chose [[Vickon Greyjoy]] and his line.{{Ref|aGoT|Appendix}} The Greyjoys have ruled ever since, from their formidable castle of Pyke. The ironborn, however, did lose the [[Riverlands]], which were granted to [[Edmyn Tully]] and [[House Tully|his descendents]].

Thus relegated to their dismal homeland and constrained by the king's peace, the Greyjoys have kept themselves distant from the other Great Houses, rarely taking part in events on the mainland (which they call the "green lands"). At various times they have tried to return to their ancient practices of raiding the western coastlines, such as under Lord [[Dagon Greyjoy|Dagon]]. Dagon and the ironmen raided the coastal areas of [[Westeros]], sacking the town of [[Little Dosk]]. Lord [[Beron Stark]] was gathering his forces and [[House Lannister]] was building ships in an effort to drive Lord Dagon and his ironmen back to the Iron Islands.

Six years after holding aloof during [[Robert's Rebellion]], Lord [[Balon Greyjoy]] led [[Greyjoy Rebellion|his own rebellion]] against the [[Iron Throne]], declaring himself [[King of the Iron Islands]]. He was defeated, his fleet burned and his two eldest sons [[Rodrik Greyjoy|Rodrik]] and [[Maron Greyjoy|Maron]] were slain during the war. His last son [[Theon Greyjoy|Theon]] was given as a hostage and ward to Lord [[Eddard Stark]] and he again swore fealty to [[House Baratheon of King's Landing]].

Since their revolt, the Greyjoys have been as insular as ever. With Theon living in the green lands, Lord Balon raised his daughter [[Asha Greyjoy|Asha]] as his heir. Balon exiled his brother [[Euron Greyjoy|Euron]] when he raped [[Victarion Greyjoy's third wife|the salt wife]] of their brother [[Victarion Greyjoy|Victarion]], Lord Captain of the [[Iron Fleet]]. Victarion was forced to kill his wife to retain his honor. Since then Euron has sailed the world aboard the ''[[Silence]]'', reaving and pillaging, unwelcome in the Isles while Balon still lives. Another brother, [[Aeron Greyjoy|Aeron Damphair]], had been changed by his experience of washing overboard during the [[Battle of Fair Isle]], and became a priest of the [[Drowned God]].

==Recent Events==
===''A Game of Thrones''===
[[Theon Greyjoy|Theon]] is still a ward of [[Winterfell]] nine years after the Greyjoy Rebellion. He remains there when Lord [[Eddard Stark]] rides south to become [[Hand of the King]]. He views the Stark boys as younger brothers, and helps [[Robb Stark|Robb]] save [[Bran Stark|Bran]]'s life when the boy is attacked in the [[Wolfswood]], but is rebuked for endangering Bran himself. When Eddard is arrested, Theon rides to war with Robb, fighting in the battles to [[Battle of the Whispering Wood|capture]] Ser [[Jaime Lannister]] and [[Battle of the Camps|break his siege]] of [[Riverrun]].

House Greyjoy is among the noble houses [[Viserys Targaryen]] believes will rise for him should he land in [[Westeros]].

===''A Clash of Kings''===
After Lord Eddard is executed in [[King's Landing]], Robb is declared [[King in the North]] by his bannermen. Theon goes to [[Pyke]] with Robb's suggestion that [[Balon Greyjoy|Balon]] name himself [[King of the Iron Islands]] and join the war against [[House Lannister]]. Theon finds [[Asha Greyjoy|Asha]] as heir and is met with scorn from his family, who consider him softened by the green lands. Balon spurns the offer and declares himself King of the Iron Islands and [[the North]]. He sends his kin to take the lightly-held North: [[Victarion Greyjoy|Victarion]] [[Battle of Moat Cailin|captures Moat Cailin]] in [[the Neck]] to prevent Robb's lords from returning to their seats, while Asha [[Battle of Deepwood Motte|takes Deepwood Motte]] and Theon [[Battle of the Stony Shore|ravages Stony Shore]] along with [[Aeron Greyjoy|Aeron Damphair]] and [[Dagmer|Dagmer Cleftjaw]].

Each attack goes as planned. Theon, however, desires to prove himself and goes on to [[Battle of Winterfell|seize Winterfell]] in a daring raid. There he begins a troublesome rule, at one point murdering two children that he tells the world are Bran and [[Rickon Stark]]. Asha tells him that the ironborn will never hold landlocked castles, and leaves only a token force to help his occupation. Stark forces are arrayed to root him out, but they are betrayed by [[Ramsay Snow]], who captures Theon and [[Sack of Winterfell|sacks Winterfell]].

===''A Storm of Swords''===
Due to the Greyjoy attacks, King Robb is forced to abandon his war in the south to liberate the Northern halls. While grieving for Bran and Rickon, he weds [[Jeyne Westerling]] and breaks his marriage contract with [[House Frey]], requiring a replacement match. Thus it is for Greyjoy-produced reasons that he marches north to free his home and to attend [[Edmure Tully|his uncle]]'s wedding. [[Roose Bolton]] reveals to Robb that Theon is being flayed by Ramsay Snow at the [[Dreadfort]]. Robb never makes it home, however, as he is [[Red Wedding|treacherously killed]] at [[the Twins]].

===''A Feast for Crows''===
Meanwhile King Balon has died from a fall at Pyke, just a day before [[Euron Greyjoy|Euron Crow's Eye]] returns from his long voyage. Aeron calls the first [[kingsmoot]] in millennia, hoping that Victarion will succeed Balon to the [[Seastone Chair]]. Euron is crowned, however, beating out Asha, Victarion, and several other claimants by promising to conquer all the green lands with the power of his [[Dragon Horn]]. Aeron disappears, vowing to rouse the people against the "godless" Euron.

Euron escalates ironborn commitment in the [[War of the Five Kings|continental war]] by launching a massive attack on [[the Reach]], [[Battle of the Shield Islands|conquering]] the [[Shield Islands]] and parts of the [[Arbor]], and threatening [[Oldtown]]. Victarion leads the attack on the Shields, but Euron steals away many of his trusted men by granting them lands on the Shield Islands. Euron goes on to ask Victarion to sail the Iron Fleet across the world to find [[Daenerys Targaryen]] to court her in his name. Victarion sets out, but secretly hopes to take Daenerys for himself.

===''A Dance with Dragons''===

During his arduous voyage Victarion rescues the red priest [[Moqorro]], who converts him to the faith of [[R'hllor]], supplementing his worship of the Drowned God. In the North, Theon is revealed to have been suffered horrific mind-shattering torture in the captivity of Ramsay Snow, now Ramsay Bolton, at the Dreadfort. Theon is released from the Dreadfort to perform a mission for Ramsay, who has warped the man's sense of identity and formed him into a broken creature. He is sent to Moat Cailin to treat with the ironborn garrison there, where he succeeds in getting them to surrender by promising safe passage. Ramsay reneges and flays the men alive.

Theon recognizes Ramsay's wife, "[[Arya Stark]]", as [[Jeyne Poole]] and develops a tenuous rapport with her during the tense Bolton occupation of Winterfell. He reluctantly teams with [[Mance Rayder]] to free her from the castle; they escape but are captured outside by [[Mors Umber]], who is now sworn to [[Stannis Baratheon]]. Meanwhile Asha has returned to hold Deepwood Motte, but is defeated and captured in a [[Retaking of Deepwood Motte|sudden attack]] by King Stannis and the [[Northern mountain clans]]. She is brought along with Stannis's army as he marches to the [[Siege of Winterfell]]. There she finds Theon alive.

===''The Winds of Winter''===
Asha tries to ransom Theon from Stannis, but is refused since the northmen want Theon dead. Asha suggests that he behead Theon himself before a [[weirwood|heart tree]], as Ned Stark would have done.

When her stepson, [[Urrigon Greyjoy]], lost half his hand during the [[finger dance]], she had her [[maester]] try to sew back the missing fingers, instead of sealing the wound with fire and seawater. The wound got infected and Urrigon died. She later died in childbirth.{{Ref|aFfC|1}} She was big-breasted, with brown eyes.

House Mormont

'''House Mormont of Bear Island''' is an old, proud, and honorable house,{{Ref|aGoT|12}} sworn to [[House Stark]] of [[Winterfell]]. Their seat is at [[Bear Island]], located in the [[Bay of Ice]] far to the north-west of [[Winterfell]]. Their blazon is a a black bear over a green wood{{Ref|aGoT|53}}<ref>The Citadel. Heraldry: [http://www.westeros.org/Citadel/Heraldry/Houses/2/#In the North]</ref> and motto "Here We Stand".<ref>The Citadel. [http://www.westeros.org/Citadel/Heraldry/Mottoes/ House Mottoes]</ref>

House Mormont is one of the few houses to have an ancestral weapon of [[Valyrian steel]]: a bastard sword called [[Longclaw]]. However, due to Bear Island's lack of valuable resources, the Mormonts are a rather poor house. Their hall is made of huge logs, surrounded by an earthen palisade. On the gate is a carving of a woman in a bearskin with a child in one arm suckling at her breast and a battleaxe in the other. Like the other women of Bear Island, the women of House Mormont learn how to defend themselves from [[ironmen]] and [[wildlings]].

==History==
Legend has it that King [[Rodrik Stark]] won Bear Island in a wrestling match (presumably from the ironborn [[House Hoare|king]] who controlled it at the time) and gave it to the Mormonts.{{Ref|aGoT|66}}

When [[Eddard Stark]] called his banners to fight in [[Robert's Rebellion]], Lord [[Jeor Mormont]] led the Bear Island men to war. Abdicating his lordship in the next few years to join the [[Night's Watch]], Jeor was succeeded by his son [[Jorah Mormont|Jorah]], who earned fame in the [[Greyjoy Rebellion]] and subsequent [[Tourney at Lannisport]]. Jorah, however, was driven from the North by Lord Stark after selling poachers to a [[Tyrosh|Tyroshi]] [[slavery|slaver]] in order to pay for the tastes of his [[Lynesse Hightower|wife]]. Jorah fled to the [[Free Cities]] and was succeeded by his aunt, Jeor's sister [[Maege Mormont]]. Jeor meanwhile became [[Lord Commander of the Night's Watch]]. Lady Mormont’s heir is [[Dacey Mormont]], a tall, lanky warrior-woman.

==Recent Events==

Lady Mormont answers [[Robb Stark]]'s call to arms and she, her heir Dacey and their bannermen follow him south against the [[Lannister]]s. Maege acted as part of Robb's war councils and Dacey rode with his [[Robb's personal guard|battle companions]] and guards, being the only woman of the group. Both Mormont women are present when Robb is named [[King in the North]].

Lady Maege and Dacey accompany Robb into the [[Westerlands]]. After the [[Battle of Oxcross]], Maege captures thousands of livestock and drives them back to the [[Riverlands]]. Later she is sent by King Robb on a [[House Mallister|Mallister]] longship to [[the Neck]] to contact the [[crannogmen]], while Dacey is killed during the [[Red Wedding]], making [[Alysane Mormont]] the heir.

When [[Stannis Baratheon]] demands the fealty of the northlords, young [[Lyanna Mormont]] sends Bear Island's denial. However, after Stannis [[Retaking of Deepwood Motte|takes Deepwood Motte]] and restores it to [[House Glover]], the Mormonts join his cause. Alysane joins his army when it marches on [[Winterfell]], becoming one of the guards of the captive [[Asha Greyjoy]].

==The Mormont House at the end of the third century==
The known Mormonts during the timespan of the events described on [[A Song of Ice and Fire]] are:

* Lady [[Maege Mormont]], Lady of the Bear Island. A short, stout and grey-haired woman who dresses in mail.
** [[Dacey Mormont|{Dacey Mormont}]], her eldest daughter. Slain at the [[Red Wedding]].
** [[Alysane Mormont]], her daughter and heir to Bear Island.
***A daughter of nine

** [[Jorelle Mormont]], her daughter.

[[File:House Targaryen Loyalist Kip Ayers.JPG|House Darry was loyal to [[House Targaryen]]. © FFG|thumb|300px|right]]
'''House Darry of Darry''' is a noble house from the [[Riverlands]]. Historically it had been one of the more prominent and powerful houses of the Trident, until the fall of the Targaryens. House Darry could trace their rule to the days when the [[Andal]]s cast down the [[First Men]]. Their blazon is a black plowman on brown. <ref>[[A Clash of Kings]], [[A Clash of Kings-Chapter 16|Chapter 16]], Bran</ref> Their words do not appear in the books.

==History==
They were proven Targaryen loyalists, supporting King [[Daeron II]] over the [[Daemon Blackfyre|Black Dragon]] and later defending King [[Aerys II]] against [[Robert Baratheon|Robert]] and their liege lord, [[Hoster Tully]], until the bitter end.<ref>[[A Game of Thrones]], [[A Game of Thrones-Chapter 28|Chapter 28]], Catelyn</ref> The current lord, Ser [[Raymun Darry]], lost his three older brothers at the [[Battle of the Trident]].<ref>[[A Game of Thrones]], [[A Game of Thrones-Chapter 16|Chapter 16]], Eddard</ref> The defeat of the Targaryens cost the Darrys half of their lands, most of their wealth, and almost all their power.

The location of the [[Darry]] castle has not been shown by canon published maps. However, its approximate coordinates can be deduced from the text: it is repeated several times that it is close to [[Harrenhal]].

Robert's company spent the night at Darry when Arya was lost because it was the nearest castle on the confluence between the Kingsroad and the Trident. That places the Darry Castle close to Lord Harroway's Town.

The Darry Castle, though old, is a relatively small castle. The central building where the Darrys have their apartments is called "the Plowman's Keep".

For unknown reasons, Lord Raymun Darry is called Ser Raymun Darry during A Game of Thrones, and at least once in A Feast for Crows (Chapter 30). However, his lordly rank is mentioned once.

There seems to be a fierce enmity between House Darry and [[House Frey]]; the [[Elder Brother]] of [[Quiet Isle]] implies that it is so while discussing the graves of the Isle.{{Ref|AFFC|31|circa page 463}}

==The Darry House at the end of the third century==
The known Darrys during the timespan of the events described on [[A Song of Ice and Fire]] are:

* Ser {[[Raymun Darry]]}, Lord of Darry. Slain at the [[Mummer's Ford]].
** {[[Lyman Darry]]}, his son and heir. Slain during the [[War of the Five Kings]].

With unspecified familiar relationship to the main branch of the house there is also:
* {Ser [[Willem Darry]]}: Master-at-arms of the Red Keep before Robert's Rebellion. He departed to [[Dragonstone]] with Queen [[Rhaella Targaryen|Rhaella]] and [[Viserys Targaryen|Viserys]], and later fled with Viserys and [[Daenerys Targaryen|Daenerys]] to [[Braavos]]. An old man, he died on Braavos from illness.
* {Ser [[Jonothor Darry]]}: Member of Aerys II's [[Kingsguard]]. Died at the [[Battle of the Trident]]. Brother to Ser Willem. <ref> Aerys's Kingsguard (May 27, 1999) [http://www.westeros.org/Citadel/SSM/Entry/Aeryss_Kingsguard So Spake Martin]</ref>
* [[Mariya Darry]]: Wife of [[Merrett Frey|Merrett]], the tenth son of [[Lord Walder Frey]]. Mother to Amerei, Fat Walda, Marissa and Little Walder. Probably, Lord Raymun's sister.
* [[Jeyne Darry]]: Mariya's younger sister. Married to [[Cleos Frey|Cleos]], the first son of the second son ([[Emmon Frey|Emmon]]) of [[Lord Walder Frey]]. Mother to Tywin and Willem. Probably, Lord Raymun's sister. <ref>Jeyne's father was lord of Darry: [[A Feast for Crows]], [[A Feast for Crows-Chapter 32|Chapter 32]], Jaime</ref>
* Bastard cousin.<ref>[[A Clash of Kings]], [[A Clash of Kings-Chapter 65|Chapter 65]], Sansa</ref>

{{Darry_tree}}

===Historical Members===
* The [[Demon of Darry]], a famous [[Lord Commander of the Kingsguard|Lord Commander]] of the [[Kingsguard]]
* Lord [[Deremond]] was presumably a Darry. There is a song about his exploits at the Bloody Meadow. Some of its verses are: "And there he stood with sword in hand, the last of Darry’s ten ..."

* Jon Darry was a member of Aerys II's Kingsguard. Ser [[Jaime Lannister]] remembers him as an earnest man.

[[Jaime Lannister|Jaime]] was guarding them with Jon Darry and asked him whether they should protect her as a member of the royal family. Darry answered that they were sworn to protect her, but not from him.
* [[Daenerys Targaryen|Daenerys]] explained how Ser Willem Darry and four loyal men had smuggled her and her brother out of [[Dragonstone]] to [[Braavos]]. She remembers Ser Willem dimly, as an ill, half-blind big man, who terrified their servants but treated her kindly.
* House Darry is among the houses that [[Viserys Targaryen]] believed would rise for him if he landed in [[Westeros]].
* As [[Robert Baratheon|King Robert's]] party journeyed north to [[Winterfell]], [[Jaime]] and [[Tyrion Lannister]] discovered hidden tapestries of the Targaryen kings at Castle Darry, uncovering that the Darrys still were Targaryen loyalists.
* During the hunt for [[Arya Stark]] and [[Mycah]], [[Robert Baratheon|Robert I]] and his party again stay at Castle Darry. Ser Raymun dislikes Robert because his family fought for [[Aerys II]], and lost three brothers at the [[Trident]].
* Ser Raymun was summoned with all his strength to [[Riverrun]]. Meanwhile, Ser [[Gregor Clegane]] and his men ravaged his lands. He was sent with Ser [[Marq Piper]] and Ser [[Karyl Vance]] to report the incident to the Iron Throne.
* Lord Raymun was part of the expedition commanded by Lord [[Beric Dondarrion]] to capture Gregor Clegane. The party was ambushed by Gregor, and he was killed in the [[Battle at the Mummer's Ford|fight]].
* After [[Robb Stark]]'s victory at the [[Battle of the Camps]], Marq Piper and Karyl Vance arrive at Riverrun with Raymun's son, the new Lord of Darry: a child called Lyman.
* Lyman Darry attends the council at Riverrun where Robb is crowned [[King in the North|king]]. There he assures that he will never call a [[House Lannister|Lannister]] his king.
* [[Walder Frey (Little)|Little Walder Frey]] quartered his shield to depict in one quarter the plowman of his mother's house.
* When Robb gave leave to the riverlords to return to their castles, Lyman returned to Darry. Just after he had arrived, Ser Gregor Clegane returned and [[Sack of Darry|killed him and all his garrison]]. He was only eight, and the last trueborn heir of Darry through the male line.
* Ser [[Helman Tallhart]] took the castle from the Lannister garrison that surrendered. Lord [[Roose Bolton]] told him that King Robb had ordered the surrendered garrison to be executed and to put the castle to the torch and leave.
* After the [[Battle of the Blackwater]], [[Joffrey Baratheon|Joffrey I]] awarded Ser [[Lancel Lannister]] the lands, castle and rights of House Darry, creating [[House Lannister of Darry]]. This lordship was given in favor of a living bastard Darry cousin. The move was arranged by Lord [[Tywin Lannister|Tywin]] to thank his loyal brother Ser [[Kevan Lannister|Kevan]] (Lancel's father).
* Castle Darry was occupied by outlaws after the northmens' departure. Ser Kevan sent Ser [[Harwyn Plumm]], called The Hardstone, to expel them.
*[[Tom of Sevenstreams]] accuses [[Sandor Clegane]] of the death of Raymun Darry and his son, although it was the work of his brother.
* Ser Kevan married his son Lancel to [[Amerei Frey]], the eldest daughter of the female heir to Darry, to strengthen his claim over the Darry lands. She brought with her to Darry her mother, one sister and some uncles and cousins. Probably after Ser Kevan's recommendation, Lancel quartered his Lannister arms with the Darry plowman.
* Kevan helps Lancel to rebuild Darry, but departs soon due to disagreements with his son and his new religious zeal.
* Jaime and his company spend a night at Castle Darry on their way to the [[Siege of Riverrun]].
* Dead soldiers with bearing the colors of House Darry have washed up on the [[Quiet Isle]]. According to the [[Elder Brother]], they are buried next to their enemies.
* [[Genna Lannister]] complains that Darry, though smaller, was a safer place than Riverrun and would have preferred it, since the male line of the Darrys was already extinguished.
