What reading level is The Old Kingdom of Elmet the Land Twixt Aire And Wharfe book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The monks have not made the circumstance of the battle more clear by their testimony, perverting their knowledge in favour of the victors, of whom they were the chosen, thus adding a certain amount of exaggera- tion and confusion to the story.
That the action was fought in the kingdom of Elmet and near Barwick, the chief stronghold, there is no reason to doubt ; and that Whinmoor was the actual field cannot, perhaps, be disputed. Yet, since the time of Camden down to the end of the nineteenth c...entury, historians have floundered, vainly tr>ang to fix the scene of action elsewhere. From the river Went, near Doncaster, to Barwick the ground has been searched with- out definite result. According to our knowledge there is no river known as Winwsed. The name is probably derived from Wien, a brook, and Waed, a ford. Bede, the first historian of the battle, says that it was fought near the river Vinwsed, in the country of the Loides. There is every reason to suppose that the battle took place on Whinmoor, not far distant from the Roman road which crossed the Cock a little below Stanks.
