To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
1258, two centuries after the Conquest, was first issued a Royal proclama- tion in English. The Chancellor's speech was made in Parliament in the same tongue, a century later, A. D. 1 363. But, a year before, it had been ordered that pleas in Court should be pleaded and judged in English, thousfh laws and records continued to be written in Latin or in French. This was at once a sign and a stimulant of the revived national spirit, which had come once more to animate the kingdom ; and this had it...s ultimate menace toward the Pope, as well as toward immediate secular oppressions.
The exactions of the Papacy in the thirteenth cent- ury had been nearly intolerable, in spite of the fact that Magna Charta had interposed its shining shield to protect in a measure the national Church. The Norman work had been only too thoroughly done. The richest benefices were held by foreigners. One half of the real estate in the kingdom belonged to the Church. Vast sums were annually sent from it, to pass out of sight through the lavish treasury of Rome or Avio^non.
