To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Rome had been pacified. The death of the em- peror gave place to a long contested succession, the empress Constantia, heiress of Sicily, to secure that dominion for her son, accepted investiture from the Pope, and on the eve of her death, which took place before the end of 1 198, constituted him guardian of the infant prince, while both France and England were enfeebled by the crusade, and by mutually threatened war. No other pontiff ever realized to the same extent the Gregorian idea of the pa...pacy. King John of England who attempted to disregard his mandate, was brought to submission by an interdict laid upon his kingdom, and was restored only upon accepting his crown as a gift of the pope, and recognizing England as a province of the Roman See, and subject to a papal tribute. This led to the meeting of the barons at Runnymede, 1215, and the drawing up of the Magna Charta, which they compelled their unworthy king to grant, as some security then and afterward against such alienation of themselves and their country.
