Simon the Coldheart is a novel by Georgette Heyer
In the year 1400 14-year-old Simon the illegitimate son of Geoffrey of Malvallet fends for himself after his mother’s death. He forces himself into the service of Fulk of Montlice – his natural father’s most hated foe. Simon works his way up from Fulk’s Page until he is on equal footing with Montlice’s son & heir, his friend Alan. The book follows Simon from 14 to 32 as he carves out a name for himself – the name Simon of Beauvallet. (And eventually falls in love)
Beauvallet (1929) follows the adventures of Simon’s Great Great Great Grandson Sir Nicholas Beauvallet.
My Lord John (1975) covers much the same period (1393 – 1413). King’s Henry IV & Henry V (Simon’s friend) also appear in it.
