What reading level is France Under the Regency With a Review of the Administration of Louis Xiv book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
When her own po- sition is considered, and the man with whom she had to deal, such a result shows a rare combination of tact, judgment, intelligence, and the power to please.
Her influence on Louis's character was very consid- erable. Had it not been for Mme. De Maintenon, his licentious tastes would probably have continued their course until his advancing years might have been as in- decent as those of his successor. It was due to her that the king's old age was dignified and seemly. Prob- abl...y, however, it would have been better for France if the latter years of Louis XIV. Had been devoted to Barrys and Pompadours instead of to piety and persecution.
The political influence of Mme. De Maintenon was considerable, but it has been much exaggerated. She took an active interest in church affairs and in the selection of bishops, but she was not the woman to instigate the king to any novel policy, either of intol- erance or of ambition. She 'cared more about St. Cyr than she did about the Edict of Nantes or the Spanish Succession.
