Jon started considering the options for Shireen's sworn shield. He couldn't trust any of the free folk spearwives as they generally considered those who were afflicted by greyscale unclean and killed them off. Not to mention that giving a prestigious position as the Queen's sworn shield to a wildling would be received poorly. While most of the northern ladies were educated in horse riding, and even hunting and hawking, only some of the mountain clansmen and the Mormonts extensively trained their women to fight. Lyra Mormont was the new Lady of Dreadfort and Jorelle was about to inherit Bear Island, so that left only little Lyanna, who was too young and small to be a sworn shield.
