McGowan, Margaret M., and Margaret Shewring, eds. Charles V, Prince Philip, and the Politics of Succession: Imperial Festivities in Mons and Hainault, 1549
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The Holy Roman Emperor Charles V decided to nominate his son, Philip of Spain, as his successor in the Netherlands in 1549, following the young Prince's European journey that had taken place several months earlier, in the fall of 1548, after the marriage of his sister Infanta Maria to Archduke Maximillian of Austria in Barcelona.His arrival in the Netherlands was greeted by several extraordinary court festivities, among the most splendid of which were those that took place in cities and other localities of the Hainault region, such as Binche and Mariemont, under the auspices of Philip's aunt, Mary of Hungary.This circumstance of courtly festivity and international diplomacy was the subject of an international conference in Mons in 2015, the selected presentations of which form the contents of this handsome volume that takes its place in the distinguished series of editions and colloquia grouped under the title "European Festival Studies: 1450-1700."After an introductory chapter describing the context, co-editor Margaret McGowan's opening essay, in the book's first section, contains a useful and general account of Philip II's travels across Europe, beginning in mid-October 1548 and ending in mid-June 1550, which included important stops in several Italian cities such as Genoa, Mantua, and Milan, followed by numerous festivities in the cities of the Netherlands.Her chapter is based on the firsthand accounts left for posterity by the humanist Juan Christoval Calvete de Estrilla.The remaining chapters in the first section are devoted to "setting the scene, " providing an in-depth examination of the context in which the "Joyous Entries" in Flanders took place.These chapters include important analyses of the political climate in the various cities (H.Soly), the tortuous steps of Charles V's difficult decision to name Philip as his successor (M.J. Rodriguez-Salgado), and the gradual adoption of Burgundian etiquette at the Spanish Court (F.Labrador Arroyo and J. E. Hortal Munoz).Considerations such as these manifested themselves clearly, at times, in the public festivities.

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.
