What reading level is A Royal Cavalier the Romance of Rupert Prince Palatine book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
He had turned his attention chiefly to cavalry, because that was the weak point of the Puritans and the strong point of the Royalists. Whilst imitating the precepts of the great Gustavus, 220 A ROYAL CAVALIER as he understood them through the standard attained by Rupert and through the maxims of Skippon and others who had served under him, he showed no sign of original genius and was content to follow where others led. Studying the good and the evil, the success and the failure, of the system a...dopted by Rupert, he put his finger on the weak point and strove to prevent its appear- ance amongst his own men. This weak point was, of course, that want of discipline and that licence to plunder which characterised the cavalry. The latter had always been claimed as a right on the Continent and was one which was considered well- earned by the horsemen on account of their bearing the brunt of the first attack on the enemy, but it was Cromwell's care to suppress any such idea. He began to enforce discipline and to punish lapses from this discipline with some severity ; the move- ment was extremely politic as well as very good for the morale of the army, for the plundered villagers naturally detested the aggressors and it was eminently useful to conciliate those who might, at any moment, become allies instead of enemies.
