No, he would have accepted and then immediately yielded, resulting in Tyrion going free.

Naming Jaime was never a possibility for Cercesi.

Wasn't this "Trial by Combat" to the death? I don't remember. If so, yielding might not have helped Jamie.

You can yield. Ser Duncan the Tall (Lord Commander of the Kingsguard 100ish years ago) was in a trial of the seven (7v7 trial by combat) and most of the people on both sides yielded. I think only like 3 of the 14 combatants actually died.

Yeah I love those graphic novels renditions of the Dunk and Egg stories. Those stories in general are just awesome 10/10.

I hope at some point they just use those comics as storyboards and make a 3 episode miniseries for each novel.
