To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Frideswide in Oxford, the monastery which Cardinal Wolsey dissolved and Henry the Eighth subsequently re-founded as the College of Christ Church after he broke with Rome. The parchments with the monk’s writings were found in a trunk under a pile of rubble in the Bodleian Library basement some years ago. The monk’s assignment, as he describes it in his own hand, is to piece together what’s left of some earlier parchments into one great history of the kingdom similar to that Livy wrote... for Rome so many years ago with its emphasis on what actually happened and what everyone is thinking and doing at the time. Among the problems the monk says he has to overcome, of course, is that the exciting tales in the earlier parchments contain so many surprises and often have missing parts where the mice have eaten them. Another problem is that the parchments are written in various languages. Some are written in Latin and Greek while others are in various versions of what is now called Middle English and Old French – which means he must both piece them together and rewrite them into today’s English. What follows initially is mostly from the tales of William, the captain of the English archers, as they were faithfully recorded by his friend and scribe, Yoram of Damascus. The position of the Church and the king is that the changes and excitement the archers cause in England and the Holy Land are God’s Will. The monk is obviously not so sure. According to him, sharp blades and ambitious men with arms strong enough to pull one of the new longbows are a much more likely explanation.
