What reading level is Louis Xiv And the Zenith of the French Monarchy book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
In March, 1672, a Dutch merchant fleet was attacked by Admiral Homes without warn- 170 Louis XIV. [1672 ing, and four days later England declared war. The Dutch could only rely on Brandenburg and Spain.
The latter had made a defensive treaty with Holland in December, 167 1, and the former promised, on May 2, 1672, to bring to their assistance 22,000 men.
Louis' military preparations were no less minute than his political arrangements had been. The occu- pation of Lorraine assured him the fronti...er on the side of Germany, and a quarrel between the inhabi- tants of Cologne and their Archbishop gave Lou- vois an excuse for making the strong positions of Neuss and Kaiserwerth dep6ts for the French army.
There, after three skilfully contrived treaties with the Elector of Cologne, he had stored in 167 1 large quan- tities of grain, powder, and arms of all kinds.
Just before the actual outbreak of the war a curi- ous attempt was made to divert the elaborate prepa^ rations into another channel.
