What reading level is Wars of the Irish Kings book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
His enemies (and their descendants) used him as an example of all that was evil in his people. Geoffrey Keating, in his history, wrote—invoking the name of another Mongol chieftain—that even “the great Tamatlane, the scourge of God, could not be compared to him for cruelty.” According to legend, he arrived in northern Ireland at the end of the ninth century, took command of the Viking forces, ravaged the countryside, captured Armagh, and drove out the bishop and defiled the sacred relics of St. ...Patrick. Perhaps even worse was the story that after he captured the monastery of Clonmacnoise on the Shannon River, his wife, Ota (or Aud), sat upon the altar and chanted pagan spells. It is worth noting, however, that The Annals of Clonmacoise recorded only that “Turgesius Prince of the Danes” burned the monastery in 842 along with “churches and houses of religion” at Clonfert, Tyrdaglasse, and Lothta.
The crimes of Turgesius and other early Viking chiefs are cataloged in The War of the Gaedhil with the Gaill (Cogodh Gaedhel re Gallabh), a twelfth-century account written to promote the cause of the descendants of Brian Boru and the Dal Cais clan, a book that will be examined in greater detail in Part IV.
