I haven't seen this theory posted yet, so here goes;


I the song is someone's (Rhaegar's?) satirical account of the tourney at which Jorah won the hand of his fickle ex-wife.


Cheers

The song is quite old. Much older than Jorah and his wife's meeting. But pro was written about some Bear Islander at some point.

A satisfying theory while it lasted, though.

Well, it doesn't mean you haven't made a good catch - GRRM likes to write in similarities and parallels.

Jorah is no bear, in spite of his origins and his bearlike appearence, he's nothing like the bear from the song. Jorah is more like the guy who gets constantly friendzoned while real bears like Drogo and Daario gets the women he has a crush on.

He's huge and overly hairy, pretty sure that's a bear by any standard :laugh:

In appearance yes, in character no....a bear don't get friendzoned.

I think Jorah is a bear taken out of his element- like a bear in a fighting pit or dancing at a fair for the amusement of the more "civilized".
