fetched live from OpenAlex

Henry VIII surely ranks at or near the top of the list of most recognizable kings of the European past.Especially in Holbein's iconic Whitehall mural portrait, Henry has an instant recognition factor that few of his predecessors or successors could claim.1 We know he had lots of wives and that he had a penchant for cutting off their heads.Thanks to his sturdy stature in Holbein's portrait and the enduringly influential 1933 film version of his life, The Private Lift of Henry VIII starring Charles Laughton/ he is also known as a man who liked his food.From his association with appetites of all kinds have come "Henry VIII Feasts" (where "serving wenches" bring you roast chicken) and a 2007 chocolate bar television commercial featuring diverse people of the past, including the Holbein Henry, feasting on Snickers bars. 3 Until recently, in popular culture Henry was thus almost always a chubby poultry-loving bon-vivant with a bad track record with wives.He was of course a natural, then, for a 2004 episode of The Simpsons, where Homer fulfills all the cliches, eating compulsively and beheading all his queens, except for his first, blue-haired wife, Margarine of Aragon.4The creators of the recent television series The Tudors thus cast deliberately against type when they chose a conspicuously fit and slim Jonathan Rhys Meyers to play Henry VIII. 5The Tudors, a Canada-Ireland co-production made primarily for the Showtime cable network in the U.S. and broadcast by the CBC in Canada, BBC2 in Britain, and TV3 in Ireland, was created, written, and executive-produced by ' I

Full frame distilled prediction

Teacher imitation

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
