What reading level is The Pilgrimage of the Tiber From Its Mouth to Its Source With Some Account of book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
ROME. 95 Rome, by name Crescentius, placed himself at the head of the citizens in order to shake off the temporal rule of the papacy, which at that time was largely subservient to German influences, the pope himself, Gregory the Fifth, having been placed upon the throne by his cousin, young Otho the Third of Germany, who was then but sixteen years of age, whilst Gregory only numbered twenty-five years. Crescentius raised up an antipope and drove away Gregory, who went to Pavia, and recalling Ot...ho, returned to Rome in his company. The antipope was taken and suffered the most cruel mutilation at the hands of his ruthless adver- saries, who compelled him to ride seated backwards on an ass, in the torn vestments he had usurped, through the streets of the city. Crescentius entrenched himself in the fortress of St. Angclo ; but after some resistance capi- tulated, on condition that his life and liberty should be spared. No sooner, however, had Otho entered the castle than Crescentius, together with twelve of his followers, were beheaded, and their bodies suspended from the battlements ; Stefania, the beloved and beautiful wife of Crescentius, being subjected to the most brutal violence.
