Lord of Bear Island[a] (female equivalent being Lady of Bear Island)[1] is a title held by the ruler of the Bear Island in the North. The role is traditionally held by the head of House Mormont, a vassal of House Stark. The last known Lady of Bear Island was Lyanna Mormont.
Known Lords of Bear Island[]
- ?[b] AC: {Jeor Mormont}, abdicated in favor of his son to join the Night's Watch
- ? AC: {Jorah Mormont}, son of Jeor, stripped of his lordship after being caught selling poachers into slavery
- ?[c] AC: {Maege Mormont}, sister of Jeor
- ?–305 AC: {Lyanna Mormont}, daughter of Maege
In the books[]
In the novels, it is unknown if Maege Mormont is still alive (it is implied by her second daughter Alysane that she is), but she actually had three surviving daughters who were older than Lyanna, her youngest. Jon Snow himself wonders why Lyanna Mormont was the one who wrote the reply letter to Stannis (it is possible the Mormonts let her write it to scorn Stannis).
Lyanna is apparently the acting "Lady of Bear Island", while her mother and sisters are away, similar to how Bran Stark was the acting "Lord of Winterfell" in Season 2, when his older brother Robb was not physically present to rule.
