What reading level is English Constitutional History From the Teutonic Conquest to the Present Time E book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The Hmited period of service to which the feudal vassals were bound by tenure, and their general unmanageableness, caused both William the Conqueror and the succeeding Norman and early Angevin kings to employ mercenary forces, who, however, soon became odious in the eyes of the nation, and had eventually to be given up. Throughout this period the ancient national militia, though thrown into the shade for a time by the feudal and mercenary troops, still subsisted, and occasionally did good servi...ce in defence of their country, as in the battle of the Standard, in 11 38, which was won by their exertions, and again in 1 174, at the battle of Alnwick. The introduction of Scutage, on the occasion of the Toulouse war in 1 1 59, as a commutation of personal service, had the effect of diminishing the Feudal levies ; and although Henry II. Was enabled with the money thus obtained to hire mercenaries for his foreign wars, the hatred of the English towards these forces pre- vented him from employing them for the purposes of home defence, while the Feudal army, besides being insufficient, was too much under the influence of the barons, whose power he was bent upon curtailing.
