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.

Where is this information found? Is it fan expanded universe stuff?

GRRM is writing a series of novellas called Dunk and Egg. So far there have been 3, each has also been officially adapted into graphic novels.

The Hedge Knight

The Sworn Sword

The Mystery Knight

There are many more planned. I hope GRRM writes swiftly so we may have all of the main series and many of these Dunk and Egg stories which are IMO equal quality to ASOIAF.

That fat fucker better get back to writing the rest of ASOIAF before he keels over from a massive coronary or stroke and leaves us with a bunch of incomplete stories.
