What reading level is Lives of Fair And Gallant Ladies volume 1 book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:

The other main division of his writings, Hommes, consisted in Brantome's manuscript of two volumes, the first containing the Grands capitaines, French and Spanish, and the second Les couronnels, Discours sur les duels, Rodomon- tades espagnoles, and a separate account of La Noue. His original manuscript was completed while Margaret was still the wife of Henry IV. , that is to say before November, 1599, but some time after her divorce he made a carefully revised copy. It is upon this copy that t...he text of M. Lalanne's edi- tion is based for the first five volumes.
Regarded strictly as biographies Brantome's lives have slender merit, for the majority give one little or no idea of the character of the persons treated. He is at least success- ful with those who had in them elements of real greatness, such as Coligny and Conde. Even the long life of Francois de Guise, though it contains some interesting and valuable information, throws little light on Guise himself. But he gives us good superficial portraits of Charles IX.
