What reading level is The History of the Spur book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Simon claimed the Earldom of Leicester in right of his mother, and married Eleanor, sister of Henry HI. , and at once began to take a very leading part in English affairs. He is a very likely person to have introduced the new-fashioned rowel spur to the notice of his brother-in-law, the king ; and its appearance on the new seal in the following year lends additional possibility to this supposition. It is true that there is in existence a seal of c 2 3^ The History of the Spur Simon de Montfort ...on which he is depicted as hunting and blowing a horn, and wearing prick spurs. The exact date of this seal I do not know, but presumably it is of later date than his arrival in England. This, however, does not con- clusively prove anything. The engraver of the seal, in the absence of special instructions, merely drew in his design the form of spur he had been accustomed to see upon the heels of his patrons, which, at that transitional period, were for the most part prick spurs. He may or he may not have seen rowel spurs.
