What reading level is Queens of Old Spain book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
When the extreme unction was to be administered she exhibited a curious instance of her severe modesty, almost prudery, by refusing to allow even her foot to be uncovered to receive the sacred oil, which was applied to the silken stocking that covered the limb instead of to the flesh.
To the last she was determined that, if she could prevent it, Joan and her husband should not rule in Castile as absentee sovereigns whilst Ferdinand lived.
Her will, which was signed in October, is a notable docu...ment, showing some of Isabel's strongest char- acteristics. She would be buried very simply, and without the usual royal mourning, in the city of her greatest glory, the peerless Granada ; ' but if the King, my lord,* desires to be buried elsewhere, then her body was to be laid by the side of his. Her debts were to be paid, and many alms distributed and religious benefactions founded, and all her jewels were to be given to Ferdinand, * that they may serve as witness of the love I have ever borne him, and remind him that 1 await him in a better world, and io that with this memory he may the more holily and jusdy live.' What does not seem so saintly a provision was, that all the royal grants she had given, except those to her favourite Beatriz de Bobadilla, were cancelled on her death.
