What reading level is Transactions book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Turbulent nobles and other leaders of lawless men feared to ravage the King's lands, at least in the more settled districts. But in other respects the King's tenants suffered under disadvantages. They had to give, for instance, more himting and hosting or mihtary services than other men's tenants. For any sudden emergencies the King's tenants were called out as the army readiest to hand. But as for the hunting services, there were so many royal forests that the pressure of them was only felt oc...ca- sionally, and when the pressure came it had its compensations. The tenants enjoyed the sport as well as the King and his nobles, and they further enjoyed the venison which was so freely distri- buted among them. In the places where the King had lands and no forests to visit, the system of letting or setting a whole thanage or barony to a middleman, for a term of years, can be traced back in the records to the usurpation of Edward of England, if not further. Edward let the Scotch Crown lands, as far as he got hold of them, for the rents and duties — ^valued in money — which were paid to Alexander III.
