What reading level is The Cinque Ports a Historical And Descriptive Record book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
In any case, there was great rivalry between the two ports, and the rivalry was rendered none the less strenuous by the fact that both were granted to monastic bodies. Sandwich was perhaps fortunate in falling to the lot of Christ Church, Canterbury, who seem to have had some subtle organising power, or else to have been extremely lucky in the ports that were apportioned to them. Romney certainly owed much to their governing, so did My the, so Dover, and so doubtless Sandwich. Indeed, the quest...ion suggests itself whether or not the early prosperity and the subsequent perfection of organisation of the Cinque Ports did not arise from their tutelage under the Christ Church Religious. In that case we may trace their rise from the traditions imparted to Christ Church by the tenth- century Archbishop Dunstan of blessed memory. Dunstan was a saint whom we may find temperamentally uncongenial, but he was an organiser of unrivalled shrewdness. He had a power over Edgar which allowed him to consolidate and to mould the fortunes of the diocese of Canterbury in a way which certainly smoothed the path for prelates like Lanfranc and Becket.
