Abstract
Historians are currently debating whether or not leading members of the New Model Army and Parliament decided to execute King Charles I in late December 1648 or in late January 1649. In order to comprehend how contemporaries viewed this process, this essay explores the discussions about Charles’s fate that occurred in the vibrant print culture thriving in England during the late 1640s. It argues that over the last week of December and the first two weeks of January members of every political faction announced in print that the government planned to judicially execute the king. Thus, while some leaders of the army and Parliament may have been uncertain in their own minds whether they would eliminate the king through the end of the month, it appears that, in the public discourse, the king’s fate was sealed even before his trial began on 20 January 1649.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot 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.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
