===Youth=== Jorah was married at a young age to [[Lady Glover (wife of Jorah Mormont)|a girl]] from [[House Glover]] as desired by his father [[Jeor Mormont]], Lord of [[Bear Island]]. While they were married for ten years, Jorah's wife was unable to carry a child to term. She eventually died following her third miscarriage.{{Ref|ACOK|12}} Members of [[House Mormont]] attended the [[great tourney at Harrenhal]] in {{Date|281}}, but it is unclear if Jeor was one of them.{{ref|ASOS|24}}<ref>[http://www.westeros.org/Citadel/FAQ/Entry/Who_were_the_different_people_in_Meeras_story/ "The Citadel: FAQ, entry 6.2.6- Who were the different people in Meera's story?" (2007)]</ref> Presumably prior to [[Robert's Rebellion]] in {{Date|283}},<ref group="N">Jeor states that he has been in the Night's Watch longer than [[Alliser Thorne]], who joined the Night's Watch at the conclusion of [[Robert's Rebellion]] (''[[A Game of Thrones]]'', [[A Game of Thrones-Chapter 21|Tyrion III]]), implying that Jeor had joined prior to the war's start. While Jeor states that he had been Lord Commander at the time Alliser joined, more recent sources, both canon (''[[A Storm of Swords]]'', [[A Storm of Swords-Chapter 7|Jon I]] & [[A Storm of Swords-Chapter 64|Jon VIII]]) and semi-canon (''[[A World of Ice and Fire|George R.R. Martin's A World of Ice and Fire]]'') contradict this statement, making at least the fact that he was Lord Commander at the time invalid. It is still likely, however, that Jeor had already joined the Night's Watch at the time.</ref> Jeor gave up the lordship of [[House Mormont]] by joining the [[Night's Watch]], which made Jorah the Lord of Bear Island in his own right.{{Ref|ACOK|12}} During [[Robert's Rebellion]], Jorah fought on the side of the rebels. He was present during the [[Battle of the Trident]] in {{Date|283}}{{ref|ASOS|57}} and saw the aftermath of the [[Sack of King's Landing]].{{ref|ASOS|23}}
