What reading level is Christendom; Ecclesiastical And Political, From Constantine to the Reformation book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
It seems to have been in Austrasia that the peculiarly feudal idea developed itself that government and ownership went together, that government implied ownership, and ownership implied government, and therefore that he who was appointed governor of a district was in some way vested with the ownership of the land and people — not exactly as slaves, but as vassals — and must there- fore, if possible, make his dominion hereditary in his family. In Neustria, the chief nobles were Counts^ as compan...ions of the king ; in Austrasia, they took the title ol Dukes y as leaders of the host. They were more independent of the central authority, and at the same time less disposed to respect the rights of the freemen, whom they gradually reduced to a state of vassalage.
Pepin of Heristal, although mayor of the palace to the titular king (who from this time ceased to be of any From Constantine to the Reformation. 159 importance), was only the first among the Austrasian nobles, and his authority was precarious unless he could keep them employed in national wars, while he was con- solidating the kingdom.
