To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
There was a custom about a hundred years old, for bands of penitents, disguised and with their faces covered, to wander through the streets chanting the psalms of David and beating each other with scourges in atonement for their sins. This cus- tom, though denounced by some theologians and forbidden THE NEW KING RETURNS 179 by some popes as pagan rather than Christian, finally came to be tolerated. Finding one of these fraternities active in Avignon, Henry joined with great zeal in the processi...ons and many of his courtiers imitated his example. 1 The combination of mulberry satin and coral bracelets with the domino of a penitent, did not strengthen the impression which the King's personality made upon his subjects. The Nuncio wrote soon after he arrived in France: "What France needs is a strong king. This boy is in mind inclined to ease and in body weak and ill, so that I don't believe he can live many months. He is twenty- four years old and is always sticking in the house and for the greater part of the time in bed.
