To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The wager of battle was certainly of more splendid pretensions, and was introduced at first with these stipulations. If the opposite parties were countrymen, they were to follow their na- tional customs, whatever they were ; if the ap- pellee were a foreigner, or of foreign descent, he might offer wager of battle, and on its being de- clined, purge himself by his own oath and that of his witnesses, according to the Norman law ; or, if a native of the country, he might have his choice of the tri...al by ordeal or by battle.
