What reading level is Spain book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Yet they made no attempt to free themselves. In the early years of the reign of Charles V. And during his absence from Spain, great insurrections broke out in Castile and Valencia. The Government had neither money nor soldiers. Again it would have been easy for the insurgents to shatter the Inquisition, yet the leaders and their followers abstained carefully from making any show of hostility to this alleged tyranny. Could this acquiescence have been possible if the institution was hated ?
Cases... of conflict with the Inquisition can no doubt be quoted in great numbers. But when they are examined they show that the resistance was wholly due to the resentment of other bodies which were offended by its obstinacy in trying to extend the bounds of its jurisdiction, by its claims to arrogant pre-eminence, and by its resolution to withdraw its own servants from the authority of the secular courts, even when they were guilty of common felonies. In those parts of Spain which had the best faculty for combined action, namely Aragon and Catalonia, the strife with the Inquisition THE CATHOLIC SOVEREIGNS 127 was resolutely maintained.
