Incorrect. Jaime was explicit when recounting the events leading up to the fall of King's Landing to Brienne that Darry had gone to Stoney Sept with Selmy and that he was the ONLY Kingsguard present when Aerys was going over the wildfire plan with the pyromancers.

* TokenEvilTeammate: Granted, he's an angel compared to some historical kingsguard, but he's the only one of Aerys' Kingsguard who never made a HeelFaceTurn from a villainous king (as Barristan and Jaime did), defected from Aerys to Rhaegar (as Whent, Dayne, and Hightower did), or was coerced into fighting for Aerys through a hostage (as Lewyn Martell was). His sole moment of note is defending Aerys' MaritalRapeLicense. Given the timeline of these events, this also means he was the only Kingsguard apart from Jaime who knew about the wildfire plot, and yet did nothing to stop it.

** A system like this is logical and sounds pretty reasonable on paper. But in practice, most rulers holding power would fear such a system being used by their enemies to unfairly depose them and prevent any such mechanism for removal from ever being implemented. Given the Targaryen history of their own family members trying to steal the throne, it's not hard to see why such a system was never put in place.

** And when one considers he was the ''uncle'' of Lord Leyton Hightower, who has grandchildren in their twenties by the time of the War of the Five Kings, some simple math would indicate that, even with generous allowances for the ages of certain members of House Hightower, Ser Gerold may very well have been in his ''sixties'' when he fought at the Tower of Joy.
