===Jorah Mormont===
Lord [[Jeor Mormont]] joined the [[Night's Watch]] to allow his son, [[Jorah Mormont]], to rule Bear Island. Jorah ruled the island with his wife, [[Lynesse Hightower]], but she decided that the remote isle was no place for a [[House Hightower|Hightower]] of [[Oldtown]]. After Jorah was caught selling poachers to a [[slavery|slaver]] to support Lynesse's lifestyle,{{ref|acok|12}} [[Eddard Stark]], the liege lord of the north, traveled to Bear Island to execute Jorah or force him to take the black. However, the disgraced Jorah had already taken ship into exile with his wife by the time Ned arrived.{{ref|agot|12}} Bear Island thus passed to Jeor's sister, Lady [[Maege Mormont]].{{ref|agot|21}}
