What reading level is Fernando Cortes And the Conquest of Mexico, 1485-1547 book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Various reasons are given for his action; Bernal Diaz attributes it to jealousy of Chichimecatl and a perfidious plan to get possession of his lands while the latter was absent, fighting against Mexico. Herrera ascribes his desire to return home, to a love affair.^ It seems, however, that there had been a quarrel between a Spanish soldier and a Tlascalan chief, in which the latter was badly wounded; the matter was hushed up, so that Cortes should not hear of it, as he was very strict in such ma...tters; thus the soldier re- mained unpunished and, as Xicotencatl was a relative of the wounded chief, he left.^ Cortes first sent some Tlascalans to seek to induce him to return and, this failing, he de- spatched some Spanish horsemen with orders to arrest the general and bring him back. He simultaneously sent news of the affair to the senate of Tlascala, informing the senators that amongst Spaniards, desertion was punishable by death. The versions of XicotencatPs end do not agree. Herrera describes his death by hang- ing in public at Texcoco, while Bernal Diaz says he was executed where he was captured.
