Why would either tyrell risk their life to stop a trial that Margery is almost sure to win?

Pride, I think, would compel the Tyrells to choose combat over the shame of a trial. There is no shortage of arrogance, especially with Loras, to make them think little of the risk.

And they don't know the Seven's champion.

Now, Loras might rethink this trial by combat if he knew his fight was against Saint Hound.

What pride is he saving when the tyrell family has already plotted and schemed to the point that they have the high sparrow on their side? All he would be doing is putting all his families work at risk for zero gain. He loves his little sister I will give you that but all he accomplishes in your theory is putting her at risk. That's not something he would do. Loras may not be littlefinger but he's no idiot either. I just can't see it happening.

Had Margaery Tyrell somehow wriggled free of the accusations of fornication, adultery, and high treason? "Was there a trial?"
"Soon," said Septa Scolera, "but her brother-"
"Hush." Septa Unella turned to glare back...


I took this to mean that one of her brothers would be going under trail.....

Perhaps Loras for his fornications, adultery and treasons with Renly?

Let's not forget that the gravedigger had a pronounced limp when we last saw him. Maybe its something that will heal in time, who knows. There's been a lot of buildup for an eventual Clegane family showdown, so I definitely think that one's coming in some form.

Well Gregor lost his head and seems to have healed up just fine so who knows

I don't think we'll see a Tyrell POV any time soon for the same reason there isn't a Littlefinger or Verys POV. It would expose too much.



I do not think it will be a main one involved in everything but maybe the lame brother (cannot recall his name) or somebody like that

I wonder if the Faith's champion will be seven different knights for the seven faces of their god. The challenging knight would have to face one after another or all seven at once.

In Egg & Dunk they describe a trial by Seven, and it is 7 vs 7. The defendant has to find 6 other Knights to fight with him. I don't think we'd see 1 person have to face 7 others.

If memory serves it is either 1/1 or 7/7.... one of the sides has the option to choose. I guess it is the accuser since Dunk was scrambling to fill out his side.

"You have another choice, though," Prince Baelor said quietly. "Whether it is a better choice or a worse one, I cannot say, but I remind you that any knight accused of a crime has the right to demand trial by combat. So I ask you once again, Ser Duncan the Tall - how good a knight are you? Truly?

"A trial of seven," said Prince Aerion, smiling. "That is my right, I do believe.

If it was 7 on 7 who else would fight? Would it have to be the rest of the Kingsguard or other Lannisters?

I think un-mountain would fight by himself because he cannot talk and ask for help.

It would be Cersei's job to fill out the remainder of her team.

It would have to be members of the Kingsguard I do believe.

That is why Robert Strong was given a White Cloak.

I believe she is still The Queen Regent, so this would be correct.
