Lord Gyles survives the attack by the mob on the procession returning to the castle after seeing Princess Myrcella Baratheon off to Dorne.[8] After the attack, Cersei fears for her son's life and decides to send Prince Tommen Baratheon in secret to Rosby, dressing him as a page and putting him under the protection of Gyles.

After the funeral of Lord Tywin Lannister, Gyles tells Queen Regent Cersei he has commissioned a statue of Lord Tywin to be placed by the Lion Gate in King's Landing. Rosby's coughing has gotten much worse and he is beginning to cough up blood.

Upon assuming the duties of the master of coin, Gyles has to deal with many of the crown's debt problems and Noho Dimittis, an angry envoy from the Iron Bank of Braavos, who is irate when he learns that the king would suspend all payments on the loans from the Iron Bank until the War of the Five Kings is over. The envoy hounds Gyles so much that he takes to his bed coughing up blood.[17]

Despite Grand Maester Pycelle's treatments,[18] Gyles is overcome by his sickness and dies at the Red Keep. Cersei's paranoia leads her to the mistaken belief that Gyles was killed by the Tyrells so that they could replace him with Garth Tyrell.

Quotes

Lord Gyles has been threatening to die for as long as I have known him, but he is still with us, and will be for many years, I do hope. No doubt he will cough the whole lot of us into our graves.[2]
