What reading level is Spanish Arms And Armour Being a Historical And Descriptive Account of the Royal book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
This is a noteworthy detail, as kite-shaped shields were almost universally in vogue at this epoch, over the rest of Europe. That they were to some extent in use in Spain also, is attested by the specimen (059) in the Armoury.
This is a kite-shaped war shield, probably of cedar wood. On both sides it is covered with parchment, and has strong straps of skin, lined with red velvet, for the grasp of the holder, and part of the strap by which it hung from his neck. Inside it seems to have been pain...ted black ; the outer side is slightly convex, and was adorned with stripes and other designs in colour and gilding on a red ground. This description of decoration SPANISH ARMS AND ARMOUR 21 was common in the twelfth century, but had no heraldic signification, the science of blazonry not being at that time well understood. Nothing definite is known as to the original owner of this shield, but it is not unlikely that it belonged to Don Gonzalo Salvadores, surnamed "Four Hands, " or to Don Nunez Alvarez, both of whom were buried at the spot where it was found.
