About This Book

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.
