What reading level is The Chteau of Langeais Described And Illustrated book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Meanwhile, however, the steady invasion of Touraine by the English brought about the capture of the castle in 1427, and it was not until the days of Joan of Arc that that province was definitely freed from the foreign yoke.
Charles VI 1, as soon as he had rid himself of the English, turned his attention to the interior orga- nisation of his Kingdom, and, in April, i453, issued a decree authorising the law officers of the Crown to assemble at Langeais to draw up the "Customs, "Ways and Usages of... Touraine. " This great work was not completed until 1461. In the Rouen Library is a manuscript of it on parchment, written in Gothic characters of the fifteenth century.
\ It was about this time, that is to say about 1461 or 1462, that the present chateau was begun by Louis XI. , who placed the work in the hands of Jean Bourre, his Comptroller of Finances. It is situated at the foot of Fulk's donjon, to which it was joined by walls which still tower, on the north, above the pretty little valley of the Roumer and, on the south, above the superb valley of the Loire.
