To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Some of them received a pardon ; but the greater part were attainted ; and the king bestowed their estates on the Norman barons who had remained faithful to him.
[1089.] William, freed from the danger of these insurrec- tions, took little care of fulfilling his promises to the English, who still found themselves exposed to the same oppressions which they had undergone during the xeign of the Conqueror, and which were rather augmented by the violent, impetuous temper of the present monarch. The ...death of Lanfranc, who retained great influence over him, gave soon after a full career to his tyranny ; and all orders of men found reason to com- plain of an arbitrary and illegal administration. Even the privileges of the church, held sacred in those days, were a^ feeble rampart against his usurpations. He seized the tem- poralities of all the vacant bishoprics and abbeys ; he delayed the appointing of successors to those dignities, that he might the longer enjoy the profits of their revenue ; he bestowed some of the church lands in property on his captains and favorites ; and he openly set to sale such sees and abbeys as he thought proper to dispose of.
