Sentence grammar
I would be obliged if anyone would kindly explain to me the following sentence:
"However what harassed L'Isle Adam most was the insubordination of some of being schooled in the strict observance of the Order's rules were inclined to be out of hand." (Joseph Attard, "The Knights of Malta", 1992)
Who or what in this sentence is "inclined to be out of hand"? If it refers to "the insubordination" why isn't the verb form "was" used (as in the case of uncountable nouns)? I generally don't understand how different caluses after "the insubordination" are delineated/outlined and how they corelate.
Thank you in advance for all the comments and explanations.
