What reading level is The Age of the Enlightened Despot, 1660-1789 book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
One year previously, 1696, his future rival, Peter 88 THE AGE OP THE ENLIGHTENED DESPOT Peter the the Great, had finally risen to power. The period 1698-1725 which preceded this event had heen a troublous time for Eussia. This was due partly to the measures Alexis, his father, had taken to strengthen the executive, partly to the reforms introduced by Nicon, the Patriarch of Moscow, in the ancient service books and ritual, so as to make them conform to those of the Greek church elsewhere.
The no...bles were indignant at the first ; the second led to the rise of the sect of the " old believers," who denounced Alexis as Anti-Christ, welcomed persecu- tion, and in one district were fanatical enough to immolate, themselves by a fire of their own lighting.
After the brief reign of Peodor, his eldest son, 1676-82, these troubles were intensified by the dis- putes about the succession. At first the two boys, Ivan, son of the first wife of Alexis, and Peter, the son of the second, were declared joint Tzars, with Sophia, the sister of Ivan, as regent.
