What reading level is History of the Diocese of Meath 1 book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Bishops in those days were very great magnates, and with what high-handed measures they could act is shown by several incidents. Bishop Richard de la Corner was not the kind of man that we would expect to be particularly aggressive. In some ways he was remarkably conscientious, for in 1235, three years after his appointment as Bishop of Meath, he made petition to the Pope to be relived of the office, because " he had it on his conscience that when a simple clerk he consented to the death of a m...alefactor." » His scruples in this case were overcome, for he continued until his death in 1250 in possession of the See. We would not have imagined that he was capable of such action as that with which he is charged in 1245, for in * Vatican Racords, 136 HISTORY OF THE DIOCESE OF MEATH that year he is accused of having " seized in her castle of Clonard, Isabella de Beaufo, when non compos mentis, carried her away at night, detained her in his custody, dispossessed her of her castle, and placed his own bailiffs there." 9 This incident gives us some idea of what tremendous power the bishops then possessed, and how they united the position of great feudal lords with the more spiritual jurisdiction that belonged of right to their office.
