What reading level is Leaders of the Reformation book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Regarding them- selves as heirs of the ancient line of Charlemagne they proposed to lay claim to the throne of France on the extinction of the house of Valois, and in this purpose they w^ere at one time encouraged by Catharine de Medici. Fanatically attached to the church of Rome, it was their avowed purpose to crush the Bourbons and with them to extirpate Protestantism in France.
It is hardly probable that the Bourbons could have maintained themselves against the Guises, if they had not been s...ustained by the great majority of the nobles, most prominent among whom were the Chatillons who were represented by three brothers, nephews of the old Connetable de Mont- morency. Most prominent of the three was Gas- pard, who from his estate in Franche Comte was known as Coligni, Governor of Picardy and after- wards grand admiral of France. His influence in the south was hardly less than that of the Guises in the north. While in captivity after the siege of St. Quentin he had read the Bible and the works of Calvin ; and when he was thereby led to a change of faith no one doubted the o-enuineness of his con- 124 LEADERS OF THE REFORMATION.
