ser jorah mormont is the only child of the night's watch's lord commander jeor mormont, who abdicated shortly before robert's rebellion to join the night's watch and let jorah assume the lordship of bear island. at some point jorah married a lady of house glover, who died from miscarriage after ten years of marriage. jorah fought in greyjoy's rebellion, distinguishing himself by being one of the first to enter the fray during the siege of pyke and was knighted by king robert baratheon. at a tourney at lannisport celebrating the baratheon victory, jorah fell in love with the beautiful lynesse hightower (aunt of margaery tyrell). he named her queen of love and beauty after winning the tourney and asked her father for her hand in marriage, which he accepted. however, lynesse found herself ill-suited to the rough life on bear island, having grown up as a member of the wealthy house hightower. jorah bankrupted himself trying to provide her with luxuries and eventually sold poachers found on his lands to a tyroshi slaver to fund her lifestyle. his liege lord, eddard stark, condemned jorah to death, but he and lynesse fled to lys. jorah then made his living as a sellsword, but was still unable to provide enough to satisfy lynesse, and eventually returned from a campaign to find that lynesse had become a concubine of a wealthy lysene merchant. the merchant warned jorah that he would be enslaved to settle his debts if he remained in lys and jorah was forced to flee again. afterwards he drifted among the free cities and the dothraki, before becoming a spy for varys.
