The party of King Robert Baratheon stops at Castle Darry on their way from Winterfell to King's Landing after Arya Stark goes missing along the Kingsroad. Ser Raymun reluctantly hosts the King as he lost three older brothers on the Trident during the rebellion. A lot of House Darry's importance has waned after Robert's Rebellion.
Raymun is sent to King's Landing with Ser Marq Piper and Ser Karyl Vance to stand before the king and report the pillaging of Ser Gregor Clegane. The King's Hand Lord Eddard Stark dispatches a group under the control of Ser Beric Dondarrion and Thoros of Myr to bring the Mountain to justice. Ser Raymun rides with this group and is killed at the Battle at the Mummer's Ford. His son, Lyman Darry, inherits the castle.
Marq and karyl bring Lyman to Riverrun after Robb Stark wins at the Battle of the Camps. Lord Lyman is a boy of 8, and he is amongst the riverlords who declare Robb as King in the North, saying he will never bend the knee to a Lannister king.
===A Clash of Kings===
Lyman returns to his land with a garrison of Darry troops, intent on restoring the land that was pillaged by Gregor. Unfortunately the Mountain arrives shortly after and slaughters the garrison, as well as the boy lord, ending the trueborn male line of House Darry. The Darry lands are awarded to Lancel Lannister, creating House Lannister of Darry.
