What reading level is The Story of Belgium book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The alarm created by the approach of Alba, and the admiration excited by his magnificent array, told how perfectly the man and his means were adapted to their purpose. Certainly no one in Brussels that day was rash enough to suppose that " the men of butter, " as the duke contemptuously called the Netherlanders, could for a moment withstand his men of iron. CHAPTER IX THE REIGN OF TERROR Alba was not long in casting aside the mask of goodwill which he had assumed to allay the suspicion of those... whom his master, slaving night and day at his desk in the Escurial, ticked off for summary execution. A fortnight after his arrival in Brussels the sinister warrior initiated the regime of blood. Egmont and Horn were treacherously arrested and sent for trial before the Council of Troubles, an institution which the duke had specially invented to deal out condign chastisement to all suspected enemies of the king. This body, whose existence was a direct invasion of the law of the land as represented by the charters of the towns, was a sort of star-chamber, presided over by Alba, with two of his creatures, a certain Del Rio and the licentious Juan de Vargas, as assessors.
