What reading level is Throne-Makers book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
When, however, the expulsion of the Turks, at the end of the seventeenth century, left the Austrian sovereigns free to exercise their authority, they set about curtailing the ancient liberties of Hungary. Throughout the eighteenth century that process went on : the Magyars pro- tested; the Emperor-King encroached, or, when the protests threatened to pass into insurrection, he paused for a while and gave fair promises.
Such was the situation when the French Revo- tion, followed by Napoleon's col...ossal ambition, startled Europe. During the quarter century of upheaval, the Magyars, still pouring their griev- ances into Vienna, remained loyal to their King.
After Napoleon's downfall, the Old Regime being firmly reestablished, Emperor Francis not only failed to keep his promises towards Hungary, but revived the old policy of Austrianization, which KOSSUTH 81 meant the substitution of German for Magyar officials, and the removal of the chief branches of government to Vienna. Again the protests became angry, until Francis, baffled and alarmed, con- vened the Diet.
