What reading level is A History of Cumberland book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
She gave Lord Hunsdon, Governor of Ber- wick-on-Tweed, peremptory orders to apprehend that " cankred subtell traitor, " as she called him. Hunsdon and Dacre met one another at Geltbridge, about four miles from Naworth. Dacre was worsted, and fled into exile. The gentry of Cumberland had stood aloof from the rising ; perhaps they remembered too well the seventy -four hung by the Duke of Norfolk; perhaps they mistrusted Leonard Dacre. On Lord Hunsdon's intercession, the Queen pardoned the Bordere...rs who fought for Dacre. The Earl of Northumberland was brought to the scaffold, and more than 600 of his followers were executed. Locally "the Rising of the North " is known as " Dacre's Raid. " Quiet and peace were for some time restored on the borders, though there were occasional outbreaks, as when, in 1575, a meeting for a Warden's Court at Reeds- wire, on Carter Fell, ended in a battle between Scots and English. The English Queen was, however, peremp- tory in her insistence that such outbreaks were matters of international concern, and must be checked.
