Is the underlined sentence a third conditional?

Catelyn faced him calmly. “Lord Rickard, the Kingslayer’s dying would not have bought life for your children. His living may buy life for mine.” The lord was unappeased.

Hi, dear teachers. Is the underlined sentence a third conditional?

(i.e. Even if we had killed the Kingslayer, his death would not have bought life for your children)?

Thank you.
