For the love of Heyer

Passages to the Past is hosting it's second contest! In honor of my new infatuation with Georgette Heyer I am spreading the love to one lucky winner! Up for grabs is Simon the Coldheart.


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 Beauvallet 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.

Known for his silence and nicknamed "the Coldheart," Simon nonetheless loved children and had a complex and deep personality. After the Battle of Agincourt in 1415, he was sent to besiege Belremy, where he met the lady, Margaret, who eventually surrendered to the English and became his bride.

Here is the dealy-o:

  • contest is open to international entries.
  • all you need do is leave a comment with your email and BAM! your name will be entered! It's that easy!
  • contest is open until midnight on Friday, December 19th.
  • good luck to everyone and read on, my friends, read on.

  25. I never liked history until I discovered historical novels. Now I love history. The novels give me an idea of life in a bygone era while giving me an interesting story at the same time.
