What reading level is The Right of Sanctuary in England a Study in Institutional History book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
II, 369; III, 276, 320; IV, 503 b; V, 247. Mazzinghi, chap, iv, pp. 35-55, has many interesting cases of sanctuary- seeking and sanctuary-abuse.
CHAPTER V VIOLATION OF SANCTUARY PROTECTION The fugitives who fled to sanctuaries for protection were not always sure of absolute safety within sacred precincts. Numerous cases of violation of sanctuary attest this, espe- cially in connection with important offenders. Even in re- gard to less important sanctuary-seekers, violation of sanc- tuary took p...lace now and again, though on the whole the gen- eral right of criminals to the protection of the Church was recognized and respected by the law and by the people at large. But in regard to high and petit treason, or great po- litical offenders, those guilty could not expect to escape punishment by a resort to sanctuary. The Church, in- deed, always regarded violation of sanctuary as a heinous crime provoking divine vengeance on the perpetrators. In default of this vengeance they would call on the secular arm to punish the guilty and to see that the privileges and im- munities of the Church were respected.
