What reading level is Isabella And the Strange Death of Edward Ii book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
In her eyes Edward became a non-person. There is no evidence that Isabella allowed any members of her family – sisters, brothers, children, or other kinsmen – access to her imprisoned husband. The attempts to free Edward II were a threat to her position: they brought him firmly back onto the political scene. The news of his death, therefore, had to be carefully managed and his funeral staged to excite as little interest as possible.
According to the Berkeley accounts, on 28 September 1327, Thoma...s Gurney was sent to the Parliament at Nottingham1 where Edward’s demise was simply reported, according to an independent source, as a ‘fatalis casus’, a fatal accident.2 This elliptical quote from the Northern Registers epitomizes Isabella’s and Mortimer’s initial public reaction. There was no reference to disease or illness and the impression given was that the former King had ‘slipped and fell’ and that was the end of the matter. The truth, of course, was very different. A manuscript source proves that Isabella knew about her husband’s death as early as 23 September, at least a week before the news was proclaimed at Nottingham, where the court arrived on 30 September.
