What reading level is The Family book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
CHAP. VI AND THE STATE IN ENGLAND 141 ownership of the land had itself changed. Instead of belonging directlj to Families, it now belonged to the king. ''Land was held by the Church in return for dues of prayer or praise, by the knight in return for military service, by the small freeman in return for service and rent." And when land was thus held as a fief, it became necessary for the Family to select a representative to be invested with it ; this representative was the eldest member, and from... him the remaining members of the Family held : their share of the inheritance as tenants.
'* From this function of the eldest member as chief ruler of the family estate there developed gradually an exclusive right, i.e. Primogeniture." It was with respect to land granted to the Normans that the new method of inheritance first prevailed ; the obligation to preserve the property intact being imposed as a source of strength to the Family, which would enable it to hold its own against a conquered but hostile people.
