What reading level is A History of Dumfries And Galloway book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Men who would fight to the last drop of blood for a leader to their liking, could hardly be got to swing a sword for the king's new favourite. The whole army fled.
Pitscottie puts the numbers actually slain at only fifteen Eng- lish and ten Scots, but many are supposed to have perished at nightfall in the morass. About 1000 prisoners were taken, of whom 200 were reckoned as gentlemen, including Oliver Sin- Digitized by VjOOQIC 1542.1 DEATH OF JAMES V. 171 clair and three of his brothers, Lord M...axwell and his brother John, the Lords Fleming, Somervile, Oiiphant, and Gray, the Laird of Garlies, John Charteris brother of Amisfleld, and David Gordon uncle of Lochinvar.
When the news was brought to King James at Caerlaverock he nearly went out of his mind with grief. It has never been explained why he stayed behind : it was contrary to all the traditions of his race to shrink from the danger of a battle-field, and equally irreconcilable with his own undoubted courage.
He never recovered the shock of defeat, but died shortly after, apparently of a broken heart, at Falkland Palace, aged only thirty years.
