'''Darry'''{{ref|AFFC|30}}, also called '''Castle Darry'''{{Ref|ACOK|Appendix}} and '''Darry castle''',{{ref|AFFC|12}} is the seat of [[House Darry]] in the [[riverlands]].

==Location==
The location of Darry has not been published in ''[[A Song of Ice and Fire]]'', but it is near the [[ruby ford]].{{Ref|AWOIAF|Darry}} There is good hunting along a nearby river,{{ref|AFFC|30}} possibly the [[Darry (river)|Darry]] or the [[Trident]].

Darry is mentioned as half a day's ride south of the Trident in ''[[A Game of Thrones]]'',{{Ref|AGOT|16}} and ''[[A Feast for Crows]]'' also mentions it as south of the Trident.{{Ref|AFFC|25}} The semi-canon ''[[A World of Ice and Fire]]'' places it in the vicinity of [[Lord Harroway's Town]] and the ruby ford, near the [[kingsroad]].{{Ref|AWOIAF|Darry entry and Westeros map}}

==Layout==
Darry is a small [[castle]]{{ref|AGOT|16}}{{Ref|AFFC|30}} which contains a gatehouse, ramparts, stables, and a yard.{{ref|AFFC|30}}

The [[Plowman's Keep]], the tower in which the Darrys have their apartments, overlooks the castle's [[godswood]].{{ref|AFFC|30}} There are vaults beneath the keep.{{Ref|FAB|The Dying of the Dragons - Rhaenyra Triumphant}}

Darry's great hall, located across the yard from the castle's tower,{{ref|AGOT|16}} is not particularly large. The trestle tables are packed between the walls, and its rafters have been blacked by smoke.{{Ref|AFFC|30}} The audience chamber contains the high seat at its end.{{ref|AGOT|16}}

Darry's [[sept]] is just off the castle's inner ward. It is a half-timbered, seven-sided building with no windows. The sept has carved wood doors and a tiled roof. Images of the [[Faith of the Seven|Seven]] loom over carved atlars.{{ref|AFFC|30}}

==History==
[[House Darry]] traces their rule to the days when the [[Andals]] cast down the [[First Men]].{{Ref|AFFC|30}} The Darrys fought [[Vorian Vypren]] at the [[Widow's Ford]] during the [[coming of the Andals]].{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Riverlands}}

The Darrys supported the [[blacks]] during the [[Dance of the Dragons]]. Castle Darry and its fields were burned by Prince [[Aemond Targaryen]] and his dragon, [[Vhagar]]. [[Lord Darry (Dance)|Lord Darry]], his heir, and several bannermen were killed by the [[dragonflame]], but Lady Darry and her younger children took shelter in vaults.{{ref|FAB|The Dying of the Dragons - Rhaenyra Triumphant}}

Ser [[Regis Groves]] and Ser [[Damon Darry]] departed from Darry with a hundred men to deal with the rabble of [[Alys Rivers]] at [[Harrenhal]]. Regis and most of the men were killed in the ensuing conflict, however, and Damon fled back to Castle Darry. Alys sent another survivor back to Darry as a messenger, but that man allegedly died of [[sorcery]] when a Darry man laughed at Alys's message.{{Ref|FAB|Under the Regents - The Hooded Hand}}

The lands ruled from Castle Darry once extended as far as the [[inn at the crossroads]],{{Ref|AFFC|37}} but the Darrys lost much of their power after [[Robert's Rebellion]] for having been [[House Targaryen]] loyalists.{{Ref|ASOS|Epilogue}}

[[File:Comics5 Cover.jpg|thumb|[[Robert I Baratheon]] holding court at Darry, with art by Mike S. Miller for ''[[A Game of Thrones (comics)|A Game of Thrones]]'' comic adaptation]]
When King [[Robert I Baratheon]]'s entourage travels north to offer the [[Hand of the King]] to Lord [[Eddard Stark]], they stay at Darry both en route and returning. On the outbound stop, [[Tyrion Lannister]] finds that [[tapestries]] depicting the [[House Targaryen|Targaryen]] kings had been taken down from the walls of the [[Plowman's Keep]] and hidden in the cellar.{{Ref|AFFC|30}}

On the return journey, the company uses Darry as a base from which to search for Eddard's daughter [[Arya Stark|Arya]], who went missing following an altercation with Prince [[Joffrey Baratheon]] and her [[direwolf]], [[Nymeria (direwolf)|Nymeria]], near the [[ruby ford]].{{Ref|AGOT|15}} After four days of searching, Arya is brought before Robert in the audience chamber. Arya and Joffrey give conflicting stories, and Arya's sister [[Sansa Stark|Sansa]] says she cannot remember what happened. When Queen [[Cersei Lannister]] insists that a direwolf be executed, Eddard kills Sansa's pet, [[Lady (direwolf)|Lady]], by Darry's gatehouse instead of having the wolf be butchered by Ser [[Ilyn Payne]], the [[King's Justice]]. [[Sandor Clegane]] returns to the castle with the corpse of [[Mycah]], Arya's friend.{{Ref|AGOT|16}}

[[Lord Darry (father of Raymun)|Lord Darry]] and his heir, Ser Raymun, are both killed by Ser [[Gregor Clegane]] during the [[battle at the Mummer's Ford]].

===''A Clash of Kings''===
Castle Darry is [[capture of Darry|captured]] by [[House Lannister]] at the opening of the [[War of the Five Kings]]. It is [[recapture of Darry|recaptured]] by forces of [[House Darry]], but this lasts only a fortnight before Ser [[Gregor Clegane]] descends upon them and [[sack of Darry|puts the castle to the sword]]. The last of the male line of House Darry, Lyman, is killed there.{{Ref|ACOK|7}}

[[Northmen]] led by Ser [[Helman Tallhart]] retake the castle after a [[Siege of Darry|short siege]]. They are ordered by Lord [[Roose Bolton]] to put all captives to the sword and the castle to the torch in the name of [[Robb Stark]], [[King in the North]], and Roose then has Helman join [[Robett Glover]] for an attack on [[Duskendale]].{{Ref|ACOK|64}}

King [[Joffrey Baratheon|Joffrey I Baratheon]] grants Darry to Ser [[Lancel Lannister]] following the [[Battle of the Blackwater]].{{Ref|ACOK|65}}

===''A Feast for Crows''===
Because Castle Darry is occupied by [[broken men]] after the northmen's departure, Ser [[Kevan Lannister]] sends Ser [[Harwyn Plumm]], called Hardstone, to expel them.{{ref|AFFC|12}} After [[Lancel Lannister]] is installed as the Lord of [[House Lannister of Darry]] through marriage to [[Amerei Frey]], daughter of [[Merrett Frey]] and [[Mariya Darry]], the lands around the castle are inhabited and worked once again. Lancel's banner hanging from the barbican quarters the lion of [[House Lannister]] with the plowman of [[House Darry]].{{ref|AFFC|30}} Kevan departs for [[Casterly Rock]] after his son's wedding.{{ref|AFFC|30}} A persistent [[outlaw]] presence continues to plague the region, so Hardstone leads a search beyond the [[Trident]].{{Ref|AFFC|30}}

Ser [[Jaime Lannister]], Lancel's cousin, visits Darry during his campaign to restore order to the [[riverlands]], and Jaime, [[Pia]] and [[Josmyn Peckledon]] all consider it to be a small castle. Jaime sees it crowded with soldiers from Houses [[House Frey|Frey]] and Lannister, as well as armed "[[sparrows]]". While Jaime's host camps outside the western wall, Maester [[Ottomore]] has Jaime stay in Ser [[Raymun Darry]]'s bedchamber in the [[Plowman's Keep]], as Lancel has been sleeping instead in the castle's [[sept]]. Jaime and his chief knights have supper with Amerei and Mariya in the great hall. Later in the sept, Lancel tells Jaime he is renouncing his lordship. While sparring in the [[godswood]] that night, Jaime recounts to Ser [[Ilyn Payne]] that he had slept with his twin, Queen [[Cersei Lannister]], in Raymun's bed when Robert's retinue returned south from Winterfell.{{Ref|AFFC|30}}

At [[Riverrun]], [[Genna Lannister]] tells Jaime that Mariya's sister, [[Jeyne Darry]], is furious that Castle Darry was granted to Lancel instead of Jeyne's sons, [[Tywin Frey|Tywin]] and [[Willem Frey]].{{Ref|AFFC|33}} After the [[siege of Riverrun]] is resolved, Ser [[Lyle Crakehall]] and Ser [[Jon Bettley]] depart for Darry to help hunt outlaws like the [[Hound]] and Lord [[Beric Dondarrion]].{{ref|AFFC|44}}

Having renounced Darry, Lancel joins the [[Warrior's Sons]].{{Ref|ADWD|65}}

==Quotes==
{{Quote|With [[House Baratheon of King's Landing|king's]] men, [[House Darry|Darry]] men, [[House Lannister|Lannister]] men, and [[House Stark|Stark]] men all crammed into a castle far too small for them, tensions burned hot and heavy.{{ref|AGOT|16}}|thoughts of [[Eddard Stark]]}}

{{Quote|Arya was glad to hear that the castle of the [[House Darry|Darrys]] would be burned. That was where they'd brought her when she'd been caught after her fight with [[Joffrey Baratheon|Joffrey]], and where [[Cersei Lannister|the queen]] had made [[Eddard Stark|her father]] kill [[Sansa Stark|Sansa's]] [[Nymeria (direwolf)|wolf]]. ''It deserves to burn''.{{Ref|ACOK|64}}|thoughts of [[Arya Stark]]}}

{{Quote|Darry had changed hands several times during [[War of the Five Kings|the fighting]], and its castle had been burned once and sacked at least twice, but [[Lancel Lannister|Lancel]] had seemingly wasted little time setting things to rights. The castle gates were newly hung, raw [[oak]]en planks reinforced with [[iron]] studs. A new stable was going up where an older one had been put to the torch. The steps to [[Plowman's Keep|the keep]] had been replaced, and the shutters on many of the windows. Blackened stones showed where the flames had licked, but time and rain would fade those.{{Ref|AFFC|30}}|thoughts of [[Jaime Lannister]]}}

{{Quote|Darry's great hall was great only by courtesy.{{Ref|AFFC|30}}|thoughts of [[Jaime Lannister]]}}

{{Quote|'''Jaime''': You should be sleeping with [[Amerei Frey|your wife]], not with [[Maiden (the Seven)|the Maid]]. You need a son with [[House Darry|Darry]] blood if you want to keep this castle.<br>'''Lancel''': A pile of cold stones. I never asked for it. I never wanted it.{{ref|AFFC|30}}|[[Jaime Lannister]] and [[Lancel Lannister]]}}
