What reading level is Calais Under English Rule book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
A proclamation was accordingly issued that decayed houses at Calais must be repaired by the owners, under pain of forfeiture. Closely connected with the problem of population was the problem of food-supply. From every point of view — military as well as economic — the victualling of Calais was a continual bugbear to those responsible for its maintenance in English hands. Practically everything had to be transported from England. It is true that the district round about Guisnes, Marc, and Hammes... was fertile enough, but in time of war it was liable to in- cursions by the enemy ; while any reliance on French territory as a source of food-supply was dangerous, owing to the almost continuous skirmishing which took place along the border. Nearly every requisite, then, had to be brought from England, and this applies, as will be seen, not only to food, but to timber, agricultural implements, and coal.^ 1 Minutes of Privy Council, February, 1422. 2 In war-time, if the French pirates were active, the problem became serious.
