To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Catalonia sprang to arms, and Juan II in alarm again released his son ; but the latter died, almost certainly poisoned, immediately afterward, to the indelible disgrace of his father. Few facts of history have aroused so much controversy as the tragic life and death of this amiable but cruelly ill- used young prince, and the reason of his father's relentless persecution of him. It was certainly not his own ambition ; but, on the other hand, those who defend his father point to the fact that if ...it had been his wish to seize the crown of Navarre and incorporate it with Aragon he would not, as he did, have allowed the prince's sister Eleanor and her French husband to take possession of the government as his viceroys, and to succeed at his death. The true heir was Blanche, formerly Queen of Castile, but now repudiated by. Aragon and Navarre 261 her contemptible husband, Henry IV, and living in retire- ment; but she, by the connivance of her father, who hated her as much as he did her dead brother, was handed over to the tender care of her younger sister and heir, who was married to Gaston de Foix, and she was poisoned in their castle of Ortez (1462).
