In 1400, the illegitimate Simon Beauvallet forces his way into the service of Fulk of Montlice, an enemy of Simon’s natural father. Discipline, military ability and loyalty carry him from page to knight, while his friendship with the future Henry V draws him into the conflicts of Lancastrian England.

Simon fights at Shrewsbury and later campaigns in France during the Hundred Years’ War. His capture of the defiant Lady Margaret of Belremy creates a private contest within the wider conquest, challenging the emotional reserve that has earned him the name Coldheart.
