Abstract
This book has been a considerable time in germination, many years in growth.The idea of writing a history of Edward of Caernarfon's reign occurred to me in Canada while I was engaged on a biography of Archbishop Stratford.A visiting fellowship at Clare Hall, Cambridge (1987-88), coupled with a Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council Research Grant with leave stipend , enabled me to get to grips with much more than the preliminaries, but for some six years afterwards other commitments ensured that the skeleton structure lay unfinished on the stocks.This was due to numerous vicissitudes, not least of them retirement from Dalhousie, and a subsequent migration from Putney (London) to Somerset, carried out almost unassisted over a period of time by my wife and myself.We were then faced with settling down in a new environment, and the temporary loss of convenient access to London, Oxford, and Cambridge libraries, not to mention the distraction entailed by a large garden.There were other academic concerns, including a calendar of the episcopal register of Bishop Montacute, diversions for various articles, as well as a sheaf of biographies for the medieval section of the Oxford University Press's New Dictionary of National Biography, and for the Dictionnaire d'histoire et de geographic ecclesiastiques, many of them relevant to Edward's reign.Eventually, however, it became possible, with a great effort, to return to the task.Social and economic factors have been subordinated to an overall narrative structure that is principally concerned with the personal and political struggles at the centre of Edward's life and reign.Despite the modern preoccupation with "cultures" I remain committed to the concept that individuals exert a significant influence on events.Furthermore, this book reflects aspects of Edward's life and times to which I have been particularly attracted and which in some instances, for instance the "afterlife" of that king, have prompted lectures or articles.These elements are of historical significance and are notably revealing in the case of Edward, as also in the cases of Isabella and Mortimer.Inevitably one has to rely on a wide range of secondary sources, but wherever possible I have followed my

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.
