Raymun's bed in the lord's bedchamber of the Plowman's Keep of Darry is large enough to sleep six. The bed is decorated with brown velvet draperies and oakwood posts carved with vines and leaves.[3] Darry's high seat is found in Raymun's audience chamber.[2]
History
[edit]Raymun, Mariya, and Jeyne Darry are the surviving children of Lord Darry, who was loved by smallfolk.[3]

Under Raymun, House Darry has secretly kept its loyalty to the Targaryens after Robert's Rebellion.[3]
Recent Events
[edit]A Game of Thrones
[edit]Arya Stark goes missing after her direwolf, Nymeria, attacks Prince Joffrey Baratheon along the Trident. King Robert I Baratheon's royal party stays at Darry uninvited during the search for the girl. The king appropriates Raymun's audience chamber, sitting in his high seat,[2] as well as his bedchamber.[3] Raymun keeps his emotions guarded when Arya is eventually brought before Robert.[2] Raymun is not formally mentioned as "Lord of Darry", but Lord Eddard Stark thinks of him as the castle's lord.[2] It is possible that Raymun's father was still alive, having retired from active rule in the years after Robert's Rebellion, with Raymun being the de facto lord.[6]
In response to the raising of a House Lannister host at Casterly Rock,[8] Raymun rides to Riverrun with all his strength as Ser Edmure Tully prepares the defenses of the riverlands.[7]
Ser Gregor Clegane leads raids across the Red Fork of the Trident.[7] Hoster Tully, Lord Paramount of the Trident, sends Raymun, Ser Marq Piper, and Ser Karyl Vance to King's Landing with the survivors of Sherrer to ask the permission of King Robert to retaliate against the raiders. Eddard, Hand of the King, sends Raymun with Beric Dondarrion, Lord of Blackhaven, to execute Gregor.[7]
Beric's party is ambushed by the Mountain's men, and Raymun is killed in a battle at the Mummer's Ford.[9] According to a semi-canon source, Raymun's father, the current Lord of Darry, dies in the battle as well.[5] Raymun's young son, Lyman Darry, becomes the new lord and is among the nobles assembled at Riverrun.[10]
A Clash of Kings

When the brotherhood without banners list the victims of House Lannister to Sandor Clegane, Tom of Sevenstreams mentions "Ser Raymun Darry, Lord Darry, young Lord Darry".[4] It is unclear if "Lord Darry" and "young Lord Darry" refer respectively to Raymun's unnamed father and son Lyman, or if Ser Raymun is also being called Lord Darry.
A Feast for Crows
[edit]Maester Ottomore has Ser Jaime Lannister stay in Lord Darry's own apartments in the Plowman's Keep when the Lord Commander of the Kingsguard visits Castle Darry. Jaime notices that Raymun's sumptuous bed in the lord's bedchamber is gone, with Lancel instead keeping a lumpy straw pallet by the window.[3]
Jaime recalls that his brother Tyrion had found portraits of all of the kings from House Targaryen in Darry's cellar; Raymun had removed the tapestries for King Robert's visit to the castle.[3]
While practicing in the castle's godswood, Jaime recounts to the mute Ser Ilyn Payne that he had slept with his twin, Queen Cersei Lannister, in Raymun's bed after a drunken Robert had passed out on the floor.[3]
Quotes by Raymun
[edit]Varys: You are quite certain these were more than brigands?
Raymun: Brigands, Lord Varys? Oh, they were brigands, beyond a doubt. Lannister brigands.[7]—Varys and Raymun
The lords of the Trident keep the king's peace. The Lannisters have broken it. We ask leave to answer them, steel for steel. We ask justice for the smallfolk of Sherrer and Wendish Town and the Mummer's Ford.[7]

Quotes about Raymun
[edit]The castle was a modest holding a half day's ride south of the Trident. The royal party had made themselves the uninvited guests of its lord, Ser Raymun Darry, while the hunt for Arya and the butcher's boy was conducted on both sides of the river.

Ser Raymun lived under the king's peace, but his family had fought beneath Rhaegar's dragon banners at the Trident, and his three older brothers had died there, a truth neither Robert nor Ser Raymun had forgotten.[2]

I saw the Mountain slay Raymun Darry with a single blow so terrible that it took Darry's arm off at the elbow and killed the horse beneath him too.[13]
—Harwin to Arya Stark
The lord's bedchamber had changed since his last visit, and not for the better. Old stale rushes covered the floor in place of the fine Myrish carpet that had been there previously, and all the furnishings were new and crudely made. Ser Raymun Darry's bed had been large enough to sleep six, with brown velvet draperies and oakwood posts carved with vines and leaves; Lancel's was a lumpy straw pallet, placed beneath the window where the first light of day would be sure to wake him.

Notes
[edit]- ↑ Ser Raymun Darry is never formally called Lord of Darry in A Song of Ice and Fire, both in text and appendices, although Eddard Stark and Jaime Lannister both think of him as Darry's lord.[2][3] Tom of Sevenstreams mentions "Ser Raymun Darry, Lord Darry, young Lord Darry" among House Lannister's victims; it is possible that "Lord Darry" and "young Lord Darry" refer respectively to Raymun's father and son, implying that Raymun was never a lord.[4] According to a semi-canon source, "Lord Darry ruled the House, but Ser Gregor Clegane kills both him and his heir Ser Raymun at Mummer’s Ford at the Red Fork of the Trident. Ser Raymun’s eight- or nine-year-old son succeeds to the lordship of the House."[5] It is possible that Lord Darry was still alive at the start of A Game of Thrones, having retired from active rule in the years after Robert's Rebellion, with Raymun being the de facto lord.[6]
