What reading level is Leicestershire book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The townships were grouped into larger divisions, known as ' hundreds, " perhaps so called from their being composed of the lands of one hundred families. At the head of the Hundred was the Hundred man, and by him the " moot, " a monthly meeting of the principal men from each town- ship, was summoned. The duties of the Hundred Moot, which thus corresponded to our modern District Council, were to levy taxes, to try criminals, to exact fines, and to attend to matters of military organisation in i...t 3 district. As time went on they were gradually shorn of these powers and became of less importance, until now we do not even know what were the boundaries of the original Leicestershire Hundreds. This, however, is partly due to the fact that, at some time during the Danish period, other divisions were instituted, known as Wapentakes : these were much larger than Hundreds, and probably more closely related to military organisa- tion. They are only found in those parts of England in which the Danes established themselves, and in our own county seem to have become confused at some later period with the real Hundreds.
