What reading level is Under the English Crown book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The 99 UNDER THE ENGLISH CROWN Norman chieftains found allies among the clans, and, aided by the feuds perpetually going on among them, helped to further incite them. Nevertheless, as a whole, the Irish nation itself contrived to survive, resist, and assimilate. For a moment even it seemed as if she was about to amalgamate into one corporate whole, and to form a state at last. This moment was the golden age of independence. The great Brian Boru, at first king of Munster and then supreme ruler o...f Ireland, not only drove out or subdued the invaders, but imposed the authority of Ard-ri upon the small rebel kings and princes of the larger provinces. The height of this triumph was reached upon the last day of his life, when the victory of Clontarf routed the allied Vikings. Unfortunately, the old sovereign was killed just after the battle, in the tent into which he had retired to rest (1014).
Whether Brian Boru's conduct was due to national feeling or to policy, whether it was simply the result of a desire to avenge his mur- dered brother or sprung purely from ambition, history does not say, and for that matter is of no great moment.
