Explanation In Pursuance Of Books Simon the Coldheart (Beauvallet Dynasty #1)

In the early 15th century, during the middle of the Hundred Years' War, England and France were fighting for sovereignty over France. It was a time of hand-to-hand combat, the invention of the longbow, and real knights in armor.

Simon was born in 1386, the illegitimate son of Geoffrey of Malvallet. After his mother's death in 1400, he and his half-brother, the legitimate son and heir of his father, became great friends of the Prince, fighting against France. Simon of Beauvallet is what he called himself. But as the tales of his chivalrous exploits spread throughout the realm -- even to the king's chambers -- the people who loved him would call him Simon the Lynx-Eyed... the Soft-Footed... even Simon the Lion. Indeed, Simon was all of these things. Valiant and strong, with a keen mind and fair visage, he had defied his ignoble birth to become a page, then a squire, and at last a lord of the land.

Friend of kings and princes, gentle and just with his people, and known for his silence Simon seemed to lack only one emotion -- the ability to love. In truth, not even the most lovely and charming ladies of his time could stir the sleeping passion within him. For this they called him Simon the Coldheart. Until he came upon Margaret, a French Lady. The Amazon. The Tigress. After the Battle of Agincourt in 1415, he was sent to besiege Belremy, where he met the heartless beauty whose courage and strength of will were more than a match for this knight in gilded armor. Margaret, who eventually surrendered to the English and became his bride. Although he had captured her kingdom, Simon would never capture her heart....

Assess Containing Books Simon the Coldheart (Beauvallet Dynasty #1)

I was surprised by just how much I enjoyed this book.I've never read any of Georgette Heyer's historicals before, unless you count Beauvallet, which seems to straddle the boundary between historical and romance.I'd heard that Heyer's historicals weren't as good as her romances and since this was the next in my Heyer Author Read (I haven't actually got very far through it yet), the whole thing had kind of languished.Having found myself unable to choose between books lately, I made a list of books

A partial disappointment and - here's a suggestion - don't read past about 66%. This is where the heroine enters and what a mess she is. In addition, I don't know who wrote this last bit but it has little polish, is poorly plotted and just destroys the earlier part of the book. But the first part is good and I liked Simon despite his cold heart - would it have remained so when he met the feckless heroine. Fair warning.

3.5✶A character flaw of mine is that I really hate admitting I'm wrong.*shuffles feet, looks embarrassed*I was wrong about Simon the Coldheart. Members of the Georgette Heyer Fans Group can let their eyes glaze over this section, as they have heard this story many, many, many times before!My late father (who introduced me to the works of Georgette Heyer) loved this novel as a young boy. Being blissfully unaware that this was one of the titles that the strong minded Heyer had suppressed, he

A nicely old fashioned historical novel of the English-French conflicts of the early 1400s. Written in 1925 the language and the dialog might sound stilted to modern ears, but the story is exciting and enjoyable. Heyer fans take note--all the romance happens in the last third of the book.ETA: Just finished a long over-due re-read. I will confess to being a fan of Rafael Sabatini and Baroness Orczy--both best selling authors of the early 20th century--so I felt right at home in this book. Indeed,

Mixed feelings about reading this after reading the foreword, which acknowledged that Miss Heyer never wanted this to be published. Mixed feelings after reading the book as well - it's a very strong opening and a very strong start, but everything unravels rather once Margot appears on the page. It feels like the author believed that (view spoiler)[Simon and Margot needed to be romantic endgame (hide spoiler)], but their characters and the narrative had to be contorted to get there.

An entertaining story that has good character development. I enjoyed reading how the characters interacted with one another, seeing how the three young men, Simon, Geoffrey, and Alan forged such a strong, loyal friendship as well as how Simon and Margaret eventually developed such a strong bond with each other despite their tempestuous beginnings. Overall, this was a well-rounded story that included historical action, humour, even romance. The declarations of love from Geoffrey to Jeanne were

Simon is the unrecognized illegitimate son of Geoffrey of Malvallet. At 14 he hasn't much chance of being his own master unless he becomes a squire to someone of consequence. Simon compares his father to Fulk of Montlice (Malvallet's enemy) and decides that Montlice is the better man and goes to him, determined to become part of his household. Their meeting is just a promise of what is to come. "Impudence! Why camest thou to the great door? Know ye not the scullions' entrance at the
