What reading level is Seven Great Monarchies Vol 7 of 7 New Persian Empire 8 7 book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Having persuaded the Arabs to embrace hiscause, he marched upon Ctesiphon at the head of a large force, and bysome means or other, most probably by the terror of his arms, prevailedupon Chosroes, the nobles, and the Magi, to submit to him. The peoplereadily acquiesced in the change of masters; Chosroes descended into aprivate station, and Varahran, son of Isdigerd, became king.
Varahran seems to have ascended the throne in A. D. 420. He at oncethrew himself into the hands of the priestly party,... and, resuming thepersecution of the Christians which his father had carried on during hislater years, showed himself, to one moiety of his subjects at anyrate, as bloody and cruel as the late monarch. Tortures of variousdescriptions were employed; and so grievous was the pressure put uponthe followers of Christ that in a short time large numbers of thepersecuted sect quitted the country, and placed themselves under theprotection of the Romans. Varahran had to consider whether he wouldquietly allow the escape of these criminals, or would seek to enforcehis will upon them at the risk of a rupture with Rome.
