Denys Arryn

Denys Arryn belonged to a branch of the Arryns with no lands or wealth of its own. His fortunes changed when he married a distant cousin, granddaughter of Lord Jasper Arryn, Lord of the Eyrie, through his daughter Alys and Elys Waynwood. That marriage, together with his name, placed him in the House's line of succession, just behind Elbert Arryn.

Lord Jon named him to the post after the death of the man who had held it, his own brother, Ser Ronnel Arryn. He was remembered as a renowned jouster, well made, gallant, and courteous.

Everything changed when King Aerys II Targaryen had Elbert Arryn killed. With no direct heir left, Lord Jon named Denys in his place.

At the Battle of the Bells, in Stoney Sept, Ser Denys faced Lord Jon Connington and died at his hands.

Ser Denys left behind a wife and a son. Both died shortly after he did.
