What reading level is Heroines of History book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
This proposal was the first step in the bold and terri- ble part which Bothwell plaj^ed. It led to scenes of horror than which history has few greater. That earl was now in his thirty-sixth year, and but nine months before had married Lady Jane Gordon, sister of the Earl of Huntly. The plan to effect a divorce between the queen and king, was the first sign of the purpose he had evidently formed to wear a crown himself as the husband of Mary. Never was a design more dar- ing in itself, or in its... execution. He so addressed himself to the selfish interests of the barons, that he secured their active or tacit support to any extremity of procedure against Darnley, still keeping his own ul- terior purpose disguised. The king's death was re- solved upon, or assented to, by all the chiefs.
At this crisis, Darnley was taken ill at Glasgow with the smallpox. It has been asserted with much im- probability, that it was poison rather than disease. The queen, full of sympathy and alarm, went immediately to take care of him.
