What reading level is Henry of Guise: And Other Portraits book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Quand je n'ensse point eu de respect a ma conscience, celui de mon honneur m'en eust empeche par mani^ de dire." — Lettres Missives^ To the Three Estates, 4th March, 1 589.
• D'Aubigne, Hist. Univ.
' "• Ceux qui saivent tout droit leur conscience sont de ma religion, et moi, je suis de celle de tous ceux qui sont braves et bons/* — Lettres Missives, vol. i. p. I2Z.
Digitized byLjOOQlC Ill AGRIPPA D AUBIGN6 233 Geneva, this declaration of indifference to theological landmarks is the clearest and... probably the sincerest expression of his religious sentiment that we have on record. Those, therefore, who assert that Henry laid his convictions, a costly sacrifice, on the high altar of his country's welfare, and those who declare that he sold them to receive a kingdom as the price, are equally in error; he could neither sell nor sacrifice what he did not possess. The apparent levity with which the change was effected has been criticised more severely than the change itself; this is the explana- tion of it.
