Description
by Georgette Heyer (Author)
Simon the Coldheart is Georgette Heyer's early historical novel set amid the turbulence of the Hundred Years' War.
The narrative follows Simon Beauvallet, a young Englishman of uncertain birth and formidable ambition, whose fortunes rise through courage, discipline, and martial skill in the service of Edward III. Moving from obscurity to knighthood, Simon navigates the brutal realities of medieval warfare while guarding the emotional reserve that gives him his sobriquet. The novel evokes the chivalric code, feudal loyalty, and the stark demands of honour in a world shaped by dynastic conflict.
Written before Heyer became widely known for her Regency fiction, this work reveals her early commitment to historical atmosphere, meticulous research, and narrative restraint. It stands as a serious and sustained engagement with medieval England and France, offering a portrait of ambition, identity, and loyalty against the austere pageantry of war.
