After the Peasants’ War: Barbara (Schweikart) von Fuchstein Fights for Her Property
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Historians are only beginning to appreciate fully the political and social impact of the aftermath of the German Peasants’ War. The case of Barbara (Schweikart) von Fuchstein, widow of Sebastian von Fuchstein, a Kaufbeuren lawyer suspected of Anabaptism and exiled at the end of the war, sheds light on the role of middle-rank nobility in the process of post-war reordering. Her eventual success in a conflict with her violent cousin, Ulrich Schweikert, a knight in the service of the Abbot of Kempten, draws attention to middle-rank competition in the Upper Allgäu, where historians have emphasized the tenacity of peasants and the long-term winnings of princes. Her case also illustrates the flux of religious identities at ground level in the early Reformation, among lay people whose interest in the religious controversy was secondary to, perhaps inseparable from, family business. Les historiens commencent à peine à mieux comprendre l’impact politique et social des suites de la Guerre des Paysans en Allemagne. Le cas de Barbara (Schweikart) von Fuchstein, veuve de Sebastian von Fuchstein, un avocat de Kaufbeuren suspecté d’être anabaptiste et exilé à la fin de la guerre, met en lumière le rôle de la petite noblesse dans la réorganisation d’après-guerre. En effet, le succès remporté par Barbara (Schweikart) von Fuchstein contre son agressif cousin, Ulrich Schweikart, chevalier au service de l’abbé de Kempten, attire notre attention sur la compétition se déroulant au sein de cette noblesse dans la région de l’Oberallgaü, tandis que les historiens ont par ailleurs souligné la ténacité des paysans et les gains à long terme des princes. Ce cas illustre également le caractère changeant des identités religieuses dans les populations des débuts de la Réforme, tels les laïcs ayant moins d’intérêt pour les controverses religieuses que pour leurs affaires familiales, voire subordonnant les premières aux secondes.

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.
