Wiki : Melusine

 

One day – far,far away in time  – I will get to the bottom of this myth about half fish, half female, Melusine. (Little Mermaid?)

And the House of Lusignan.

Which (the family) BTW. Features heavily in Dorothy Dunnett’s Niccolo series. Race of Scorpions? Shrug.

If memory serves me correct (Pshaw) the House of Lusignan is connected with Jerusalem and Lorraine (Jehanne d’Arc?) and Cyprus amongst other places.
