What reading level is A History of Hampshire Including the Isle of Wight book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
During the time of Rufus the forest law was made more severe, and any man who slew a hart had to pay for this crime with his life. In Hampshire, where so much ancient forest-land still existed, and where almost the whole of the south-west of the county had been newly afforested, this more rigorous code of forest law must have been especially oppressive.
Under Flambart's administration many of the Church lands were altered in their tenure and reduced to fiefs, with feudal obligations, and of thi...s we find examples in Hamp- shire centuries later.
The most notable assembly which was held in this county during the reign of William Rufus was the great council which met at Winchester on October 14, 1097, on the thirty-first anniversary of the battle of Hastings.
The long dispute between Archbishop Anselm and the king culminated at this council, where he and Rufus met for the last time. For several days the discussions and conferences between the king and his nobles, on one side, and Anselm and the bishops on the other, went on, until that final interview between the archbishop and the king, at the end of which, although they could not agree, the archbishop desired, if the king would receive it, to give him his blessing before he left, and we read that the king bowed his head and Anselm made the sign of the cross over it.
