What reading level is Ten Tudor Statesmen book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Had the Protector been actuated mainly by a desire to achieve popularity, the Pinkie campaign would have been a brilliant success. But his aims were far higher. His conception of a union with Scotland was so far in advance of his times that it was not even realised by the union of the crowns in 1603, or until the Treaty of Union in 1707, more than 150 years later. That in itself is sufficient to demon- strate that his statesmanship had its quite admirable side. On the other hand, the means by w...hich he endeavoured to secure those aims were absolutely the worst that could have been devised. The Pinkie campaign placed them more completely and hopelessly out of reach than any inaction or any other measures he could possibly have contrived. That is sufficient to explain why his government was on the whole so disastrous. He had thrown Scot- PROTECTOR SOMERSET 217 land into the arms of France, and made France herself more instead of less hostile to England.
IV SOMERSET'S RELIGIOUS POLICY The Protector's praiseworthy desire for a union with Scotland was in part at least subsidiary to his enthusiasm for the Reformation.
