Revenge: root cause of the conflict of Galician late medieval nobility. Clashes between the Moscoso and Archbishop Fonseca (1464-1473)
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Historiography has traditionally treated the conflict in the late medieval Galicia from the point of view of peasant and villains revolutions or of the lords’ abuses over servants or church, and although there are studies of other conflicts, historiography has not focused in military issues, their real motivations or the reasons to keep such long fights. Our main target is to analyse, as an example of Galician nobility conflict in late Middle Ages, the clashes between the noble family Moscoso and the Archbishop of the City of Santiago Alonso de Fonseca y Acevedo. Reviewing chronologically the facts, analysing the motivations, and reflecting on the military aspects of the clashes, we try to show not only that the revenge was the main reason for conflicts of the Galician nobility at that time –instead of rampant ambition of secular lords- but also that it was mostly the ecclesiastic lords who looked for and indeed instigated these long fights.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human 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.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
