What reading level is History of the Norwegian People book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Denmark was attacked, and Harald harried the Danish islands in true Viking fashion, as it appears, THE UNION OF NORWAY AND DENMARK 279 against the will of Svein, who could only gain the people's ill-will through such depredations. When Magnus came with a fleet, Harald made his way to Norway, where he hoped to be proclaimed king in Magnus' absence. He first tried to win his own home dis- tricts in Oplandene, but the people remained indifferent. In Gud- brandsdal he was more successful. His power...ful relative, the youthful Thore of Steig, aided him. Harald called a thing, where Thore gave him the royal title, which, together with the band of followers which he had gathered, gave him new prestige. When Magnus learned of Harald's whereabouts, he quickly returned to Norway, but a clash of arms was averted by the chieftains, who did not want to see two near relatives wage war against each other.
A meeting was arranged, and negotiations were renewed. It seems that the chieftains were determined not to divide the kingdom, and not to tolerate two kings except as joint sovereigns.
