What reading level is Elizabethan Sea Dogs book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
These men, reinforced by others, therefore mutinied and sacked the whole ofAntwerp, killing all who opposed them and practically ruining the cityfrom which Charles V used to draw such splendid subsidies. The resultwas a strengthening of Dutch resistance everywhere.
Elizabeth had been unusually tortuous in her policy about this time. Butin 1577 she was ready for another shot at Spain, provided always that itentailed no open war. Don John of Austria, natural son of Charles V, hadall the shining q...ualities that his legitimate half-brother Philiplacked. He was the hero of Lepanto and had offered to conquer the Moorsin Tunis if Philip would let him rule as king. Philip, crafty, cold, andjealous, of course refused and sent him to the Netherlands instead. HereDon John formed the still more aspiring plan of pacifying the Dutch, marrying Mary Queen of Scots, deposing Elizabeth, and reigning over allthe British Isles. The Pope had blessed both schemes. But the Dutchinsisted on the immediate withdrawal of the Spanish troops.
