Description: Simon was born in 1386, the illegitimate son of Geoffrey of Malvallet. He and his half-brother became great friends of the Prince, fighting against France. Simon, valiant and strong, with a keen mind and fair visage, 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. For this they called him Simon the Coldheart. Until he came upon Margaret, a French Lady. 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.
