To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Tlie seven remaining years of Wamba's existence corresponded with the tenor of his whole life. A gentle and consistent monlc, he lived happily, apart from the world which he had never loved ; and the distracted realm was left under the control of a sus- picious and self-seeking monarch, who accomplished little for the amelioration of its condition, but rather accelerated its decline. With the desire of continuing his dynasty, Ervigio had effected a marriage between his daughter Cixi- lona, and ...Egica, a relation of Wamba ; and when he approached the end of his life, having obtained the consent of the bishops and grandees, whom he sum- moned in haste to his dying bed, he released them from their oath of fealty, and abdicated in favor of his son-in-law. This completion of his worldly policy being effected, that he might depait in the odor of sanctity, he caused himself to be tonsured, and yielded his last breath in the cowl of a monk. The first act of the new king, like many who had gone before him, was to convene a council, — the fif- teenth of Toledo.
