To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Hardly had Barbarossa crossed the Alps and retired into Germany, when the Venetians began to incite the communes of the north to rebellion. The cruel and tyrannical conduct of the Count Palatine and of other imperial governors, and the loss, through Barbarossa, of so many ancient privileges, had predis- posed the down-trodden people to regard with favour a scheme which the Venetians now proposed for the overthrow of imperial tyranny. In consequence of these circumstances the cities of Treviso, ...Verona, Padua and Vicenza drove out the governors who had been set over them, and re-establishing the old order of things, appointed consuls and magistrates of their own choosing. A treaty of defence was then drawn up, and signed by the representatives of the four cities, in the year 1164, this being the nucleus of the glorious Lombard League, destined to withstand and vanquish at last the tyranny of Frederick, and, by the peace concluded at Venice in 1183, to ensure to the communes of Italy that freedom of which he had sought to despoil them.
