What reading level is The Greatest of All the Plantagenets An Historical Sketch book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Not a moment was lost. Their columns marched up the hill ; but WALLEYS, OE WALLACE. 266 on reaching it, the enemy had disappeared. These lances had been the advanced guard of the enemy, and soon the English army could see the Scots in the distance, arranging their lines and preparing for battle*.
Wallace, aware of his inferiority of force, would gladly have avoided an engagement, but this was now impossible, A retreat in the face of 7,000 horse would have been a ruinous step. He therefore made ...the best arrangement in his power. He had a large body of infantry armed with the long Scottish lance.
These were formed into four squares or " schiltrons," and presented a front which seemed truly formidable.
In the intervals were posted the archers ; while 1,000 horse, in heavy armour, waited in the rear, until an opportunity for a charge should occur.
The king, always prudent, having now made an engagement secure, proposed to give his army time for rest and refreshments ; but the ardour of the soldiers and their leaders would brook no delay.
