Recent Events
A Game of Thrones
Lyman's father, Ser Raymun Darry, is killed in the battle at the Mummer's Ford.[9] According to a semi-canon source, Lord Darry, Raymun's father, dies in the battle as well, making Lyman the new Lord of Darry.[7] Young Lyman is brought to Riverrun by Lord Karyl Vance and Ser Marq Piper after the Battle of the Camps, and during the war council the boy voices his opposition to King Joffrey I Baratheon, who is supported by House Lannister. The northmen and rivermen assembled at Riverrun proclaim Robb Stark to be King in the North.[4]
A Clash of Kings
Castle Darry is retaken by the forces of House Darry, but they hold it less than a fortnight until Ser Gregor Clegane comes and puts the entire castle to the sword, including Lyman.[3]
Aside from a bastard cousin, Lyman was the last Darry of the male line. Following the Battle of the Blackwater, his lands and title are granted by King Joffrey I Baratheon to Ser Lancel Lannister.[6]
A Storm of Swords
The deaths of Lyman and his father are lamented by the brotherhood without banners.[1]
A Feast for Crows
Lancel weds Amerei Frey, Lyman's paternal cousin by his aunt Mariya.[10][11]
Quotes by Lyman
Marq: Whatever you may decide for yourselves, I shall never call a Lannister my king.
Lyman: Nor I! I never will![4]—Marq Piper and Lyman at Riverrun
Quotes about Lyman
Catelyn: Darry was only a child.
Brynden: Aye, and the last of his line as well. The boy would have brought a fine ransom, but what does gold mean to a frothing dog like Gregor Clegane?[3]

Notes
- ↑ It is unclear whether Ser Raymun's father is still alive at the start of A Song of Ice and Fire or he died before and Raymun is the current Lord of Darry. Lyman and Raymun Darry have not been formally called Lord of Darry in A Song of Ice and Fire, both in text and appendices. However, Eddard Stark and Jaime Lannister thinks of Raymun as Darry's lord, while Brynden Tully and Sansa Stark does the same for Lyman.[3][6] 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 Lyman, implying that Raymun was never a lord.[1] 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."[7] 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.[8]
