What reading level is France book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
At the same time the States General met in Paris. They had been summoned by the Queen-ilegent.
For the demands of the nobles had increased as Marie's feeble Government yielded to their blackmail, and tried to buy their loyalty with governorships and pensions. The Prince of Conde, their leader, had taken up arms, and issued a manifesto, in which he accused the Court of having debased the nobility, taxed the poor, and ruined the country by profusion and prodigality an amusing reproach, as Richeli...eu remarked, seeing that it was him- self and his friends who had profited. In order to make some show of zeal for the public interests, he concluded his manifesto by the customary demand for the summon- ing of the States General. To this demand Marie acquiesced, whilst attempting to pacify Conde and his friends by further grants .
The States General of 1614 achieved nothing. But this Assembly is remarkable in French history. For it was destined to be the last Assembly held until the Revolution, when it was invoked as a precedent.
