What reading level is The Public Record Office book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:

The Chancellor wrote the King's letters and attached the King's seal to them; he was originally, in fact, the King's domestic chaplain and secretary.
Many of the King's letters had to be written in duplicate. If, for instance, an order was issued for the payment of money, a counterfoil might be required to protect the Treasury from forgeries.
Chancery Enrolments.
At the beginning of the thirteenth century it began to be found more convenient to copy the dupli- cates on to a roll, and thus arose
... the great series of Chancery Enrolments which continues to this day. At first everything worth registering in this way was entered on one annual roll, but as business increased new rolls were begun for particular branches of it which threatened to overload the original roll, and this process of subdivision was continued as circumstances required. The original roll was very soon reserved for the specially solemn 8 THE PUBLIC RECORD OFFICE documents known as Charters, ^ containing grants of privileges, or creations of earldoms, attested by the principal members of the Court, and bearing a seal of green wax hanging from silken cords.
