What reading level is Henry the Fifth book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
He was captured in Wales after what would seem to have been a fierce resistance, for several of his captors as well as the prisoner himself were wounded. Taken to London, he was brought before Parliament, the session being specially prolonged in order that his case might be heard. The proceedings that followed cannot be described as a trial. He was asked what he had to say on his behalf why he should not be condemned. His answer seemed to be irrelevant to his judges, and the Duke of Bedford, wh...o was acting as Eegent, bade him keep to the point. His doom was sealed, if indeed it had not been fixed before, when he denied the jurisdic- tion of his judges, and declared that he would answer only to his liege-lord Eichard, then alive in Scotland. He suffered death by burning, being hung on a chain fastened to a gallows, while a fire was lighted beneath. Of the special barbarity of this punishment Henry may be acquitted. He was absent in France ; nor is it likely that the execution was delayed till he could be consulted.
