Raymun, better known as Raymun Redbeard, was a former King-Beyond-the-Wall. He is renown for having led an invasion of the North in the time of Jon Snow's grandfather's grandfather.[1]

History

Raymun united the clans north of the Wall and sent his reavers over it, after establishing a toehold for themselves on the wall, they used thrown ramparts of their own and dropped ropes and ladders for his people to cross over. The Night's Watch, was caught off guard as Redbeard horde came down upon the north, it's lord commander Jack Musgood was called Sleepy Jack, forever after.[2]

Eventually Raymun's host had met a bloody end on the shores of Long Lake, caught between Lord Willam Stark of Winterfell and the Drunken Giant, Lord Harmond Umber. During the fight, Lord Willam was slain and his younger brother, Artos Stark, known as the Implacable, slew Raymun Red-beard. The Watch arrived too late to fight the wildlings, but in time to bury them, the task that Artos Stark assigned them in his wroth as he grieved above the headless corpse of his fallen brother.[2]
