Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Lybeaus Desconusis an anonymous fourteenth‐century Middle English romance about Sir Gawain's illegitimate son, Sir Gyngelayne, also known as Lybeaus Desconus or the Fair Unknown. When Gyngelayne arrives at Arthur's court, he is ignorant of his father, courtly life, and even his name. Because of his “fair looks” King Arthur knights the young man and gives him the name, Lybeaus Desconus. He proves his chivalric stature by means of a series of trial‐adventures and rescues the imprisoned and enchanted Lady of Sinadoun, whom he eventually marries. From the Lady of Sinadoun he discovers his kinship with Sir Gawain, and in some versions he learns his paternity and name from his mother and Sir Gawain. Several fifteenth‐century references to the narrative attest to the popularity ofLybeaus Desconus, and the character Lybeaus/Gyngelayne appears as a minor character in several medieval works.

Not 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.
