This is the legendary blood line of the Snake/Reptilian & Mermaid association that is entwined through out history in every Continent; ý"The association between the feminine and serpentine is mysterious, yet seems to be compelling, enduring and universal..." According to medieval legend Elynas, the King of Albany, while out hunting in the forest came across a beautiful lady. This woman was Pressyne the Fairy Queen. Being quite smitten with her King Elynas asked for her hand in marriage. She agreed but only on the condition that he not invade her privacy when she gave birth or when she bathed their children. She gave the King triplets. Three girls named Melusine, Melior, and Palatyne. Inevitably the day came when King Elynas violated this taboo whereupon Pressyne packed up and left the poor King of Albany taking their daughters with her to the lost isle of Avalon. Later when Melusine learned of her fathers indiscretion she imprisoned him in a mountain with all his treasure as punishment. This displeased Pressyne who cursed her daughter condemning her to take the form of a serpent (or of a fish) from the waist down every Saturday. The second part of the story has it that Raymond of Poitou or ,alternately, Guy de Lusignan, Count of Poitou and King of Jerusalem, came across Melusine in a forest in France. He proposed marriage and like her mother Melusine agreed but only under the condition that he not enter her chamber on Saturdays. Of course he too, like King Elynas before him, broke this taboo and discovered her in her half serpent or mermaid form. Melusine then turned into a dragon and flew away. That is the story as told by Jean d'Arras and others. A similar story is told about Melusine and the Counts of Anjou. This version of the story is told by W. L. Warren in his book "King John" and more briefly by Alison Weir in her book "Eleanor of Aquitaine." I give W. L. Warrens version of the story verbatim (at the risk of copyright violation). Speaking of King Henry II of England and his family: "From the Devil they came", growled St Bernard, "and to the Devil they will return." There were many who agreed with him. Popular gossip told of their descent from a devilish ancestress- it was a convenient explanation of their demonic energy, their ferocious ruthlessness. In the days of long ago, when all fairy stories are credible, a count of Anjou, men said, returned from a distant journey with a strange woman whom he married. She was evidently a lady and very beautiful, but there was much that was odd about her: she had no relatives or friends, she seldom went to church, and when she did always made some excuse to leave before the Consecration. In time her husband became so puzzled by this behaviour that he instructed four of his knights to stay close by her when next she entered the church, and prevent her slipping out. Just as the Consecration was beginning she made as if to leave, but the knights trod on the hem of her robe to detain her. As the priest raised the Host above his head she uttered a scream, wrenched apart the fastening of her cloak to escape from it, and still shrieking flew out of the window. She was Melusine, daughter of Satan, and no evil spirit, as is well known, can look upon the Body of Christ. In her flight she dragged two of her children with her; but two remained and from them were descended the Angevin kings of England. Henry II's sons, with characteristically profane humour, were prone to joke about the story, and to people who protested against their fighting among themselves they replied: "Do not deprive us of our heritage; we cannot help acting like devils." Winged succubus, Fairy Princess, or mermaid. So goes the legend. But what are the historical facts behind these legends if any? The House of Luxembourg, The Counts of Anjou, the Lusignan Counts of Poitou, The Kings of England and Scotland, and the Weir (or Vere) family, all claim descent from The Fairy Queen Melusine. But who was she? One theory that I have come across is that she was the Pictish Dragon Princess Maelasanu who was a descendant of the royal house of the Tuatha de Danaan as well as being a descendant of the Davidic House of Judah and Egyptian Dynasty of Sobek. At least according to the claims of the Dragon Court. According to Magnus Magnusson in his book "Scotland: The Story of a Nation", Kenneth mac Alpin, who is credited with uniting the royal lines of the Picts and the Scots Dalriada, claimed descent from a princess named Scota who was a daughter of the Pharaoh Ramses II. She left egypt shortly after the Israelites crossed the Red Sea. She wondered for 1200 years in the eastern Mediterranean deserts before making her way to Scotland. She brought with her the Stone of Scone or Stone of Destiny which the Kings of Scotland have always been crowned upon. This stone is said to be the same as the one that Jacob used as a pillow when he had his dream about a ladder to heaven. Her husband is said to have been Gaedel Glas, a prince of Scythia. Or so the legend goes. This would seem to lend some support to the Dragon Courts claim that Melusine was descended from an Egyptian Dynasty. Using online genealogical resources I have traced the linage of Mary Queen of Scots to Jarislaus I, Grand Duke of Kiev whose mother was probably Anna Porphyrogenitus the daughter of Romanus II, Emperor of Constantinople. Romanus could trace his descent through a long line of kings of Armenia, Parthia, and media back to Xerxes I the Persian Emperor. Xerxes wife, according to the Bible was Esther, who was a descendant, not of King David, but of King Saul, who was supplanted by David http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YCwzna2tt1I&feature=share |
