Abstract
As a Benedictine monk in Norwich, an important religious centre with strong ties to the Continent, Easton would have known St Birgitta of Sweden (c.1303–1373) by reputation even before he was appointed to the papal Curia. On 21 September 1381, Urban VI elevated him to the cardinalate, demoting and imprisoning him five years later in 1385. Boniface XI, Urban’s successor, restored Easton’s cardinalate on 18 December 1389. In this position, he was able to advocate for the canonization of St Birgitta, who had come to Rome in 1349 and who was much revered as a prophet pursuing reform in the Church. His Defensorium Sanctae Birgittae, a carefully structured argument against an attack by an unknown Perugian, became important in defending women’s visionary writings, and thanks to his intervention and those of other clerics, St Birgitta was canonized in 1391. This chapter examines the nature of Easton’s arguments in defence of women visionaries and of St Birgitta, in particular.

How this classification was reachedexpand
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 itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
