What reading level is Ireland book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The baronage of the Pale raided upon the rest of the country, and the rest of the country raided upon the Pale. Even amongst churchmen it was much the same. Although there was no religious dissension, and heresy was unknown, the jealousy between the churchmen of the two rival races, seems to have been as deep as between the laymen, and their hatred of one THE IRISH PARLIAMENT. 127 another probably even greater. As has been seen in a former chapter, no priest or monk of Irish blood was ever admi...tted into an English living or monastery, and the rule appears to have been quite equally applicable the other way.
The means, too, for keeping these discordant ele- ments in check were ludicrously inefficient. The whole military establishment during the greater part of this century consisted of some 80 archers, and about 40 " spears ; " the whole revenue amounted to a few hundred pounds per annum. The Parliament was a small and irregular body of barons and knights of the shires, with a few burgesses, unwillingly summoned from the towns, and a certain number of bishops and abbots, the latter, owing to the disturbed state of the country, being generally represented by their proctors.
