To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Such was the close of a race renowned throughout Europe, and whose heroic crests had so often eclipsed the royal diadem ! Feeling the change, the humbled old man, instead of confronting the king, turned his back upon him as if in scorn; biit James, instead of pimishing him more harshly, sentenced him to confinement for life in the monastery of Lindores the place where he had received the earlier part of his education. On hearing his sentence the earl only muttered, " He who may no better must n...eeds be a monk. " He returned to the monastic cell which he had better never have quitted, and resumed those theological studies and peaceful meditations which he had unwisely exchanged for the offices of the warrior and statesman.^ It was fortunate for the two kingdoms that this ill-concerted expedition was so speedily overthrown ; that it produced no greater inter- ruption of the public peace than if it had been a common Border brawl. Eichard could now perceive the uselessness of Albany as an ally for the promotion of his interests in Scotland, and he saw that these could be better advanced by conciliation and amicable treaty.
