What reading level is Chivalry book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Our old romances (chansons) sometimes enlighten us upon ADMISSION-ITS THEORY AND HISTORY. 225 certain points which history fails to illuminate. This is the case as regards the conferring of knighthood hy sovereigns, concerning which we are by no means well informed, and of which the compilers of history have not taken sufficient notice. We are, for our own part, convinced that emperors and kings have habitually profited by the impulse which directed to them so many aspirants for knighthood, ver...y anxious to receive their swords from the hands of such exalted personages, pleased at the idea of obtaining such powerful protectors, and assured under such conditions of having a successful career.
We are convinced that kings and emperors themselves begged for the creation, or at least for the opportunity of confirming all these new knights. It is equally certain that this attempt broke down, and the older custom prevailed. Instead of making a leap over their natural sponsors, the valets more often continued to request the colee from their fathers, and from their liege-lords direct, from some powerful neighbouring baron, or from a simple knight ; and the royal confirmation was very rarely sought.
