What reading level is Celtic Britain book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
6^ iheir neighbours to have paid so much attention to the form of government under which they lived as they might otherwise have done. The Trinovantes also had been living under kings, until the last of them before Caesar's raids had been slain by Cassi- velaunos. The remaining Brythonic peoples of Britain have left the historian no means of making out anything definite about their form of govern- ment so far as ^ye know ; but it is not improbable that the kings and queens of the Brigantes were... of the old description.
As to the earlier Celtic inhabitants of the island we have no evidence that any of them had got beyond the rule of kings of the older kind. The series of the old kingships may be supposed to have been com- pletely interrupted or profoundly modified in Britain by the Roman occupation ; consequently little is to be learned as to their nature from that of the king- ships which rose after the Roman legions left for good. The earlier ones, however, may be presumed to have been most likely of the same type as those of Ireland, where the series were never broken by Roman rule.
