What reading level is The Middle Ages Revisited; Or, the Roman Government And Religion And Their Relations to Britain book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
It is claimed that on this occasion the pope, fearing to fatigue the zeal of his ally, sent to Pepin the Forged Letter of St. Peter, which en- dowed him, centuries in advance, with riches, victory and paradise, upon condition of guarding and protecting St. Peter's tomb at Rome ; on the other hand, it threatened him with eternal damnation if he re- fused. To this appeal, however unwilling he might otherwise have been to again undertake so costly an enterprise, it was impossible for Pepin to turn... a deaf ear. Once more he crossed the Alps, once more he de- feated Astulphus and shut him up in Pavia, and once more he delivered the ' 'tomb of St. Peter" and the budding authority of the ' ' pope " from the perils of an Arian conquest. The war which opened so briskly was soon brought to an end by the sudden death of Astulphus, occa- sioned, it was said, by a fall from his horse, in 756. He was succeeded by Desiderius, his principal commander, a person acceptable to the pope. "^^ After adjusting the terms of a peace with Desiderius, Pepin returned to France.
