What reading level is Edward the First book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
This was a new and unexpected result of Edward's admitted position as feudal superior of Scot- land. To Edward it seemed reasonable enough that Scots should appeal to London, just as Gascons appealed to Paris. But to the Scots, who were not litigants, Edward's reception of the appeals clearly gave the lie to his constant declaration that he claimed no rights over Scotland which were not based on ancient custom. On King John's return from the English parliament, he was subjected to the same trea...tment by the Scottish barons which the parliament of Oxford had imposed on HenrylH. In 1258. A council of twelve peers was set up, by whose advice John was for the future to govern. This meant the transference of the government of Scotland into the hands of the worst enemies of Edward's policy. In 1295 a formal alliance was concluded between Scotland and France. It was the first beginning of that memor- 186 EDWARD I CHAP.
able connection of Scotland with England's greatest enemy, which inflicted such incalculable mischief upon all Britain for the next three hundred years.
