What reading level is The Life of Jeanne D'albret, Queen of Navarre 1 book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The constable, and his faction, wished that Mary JEANNE d'aLBRET. 143 should espouse the duke of Orleans, afterwards Charles IX. This design received the sanction of Jeanne d'Albret ; and earnestly did she employ her influence with king Henry to accomplish that alliance. In vain the Guises tried to propitiate Catherine; the queen absolutely refused her consent, on the plea that the dauphin's health remained as yet too infirm to permit him to marry. " I will not, therefore, ask the king to do a ...thing which I cannot approve. Is not the king the guardian of both parties ? The queen of Scots is not likely to be removed from the kingdom ; then, wherefore, I pray you, should I seek to hurry a mar- riage which may be accomplished at any time, while the health of monsieur le dauphin, my son, remains in so precarious a condition ?" The sovereign, who per- mits his subject to assume undue ascendency, personal, or political, is certain some day to be made sensible of his error. Henry, when immediate danger of invasion was averted from his realm, discovered that he had become a mere puppet in the hands of his new ministers.
