Melusine of Luxembourg seems to have her own personality and appearance. She is depicted in a way that is more mermaid-like, and this depiction seems to have lost sight of the fact that Melusine is really not a mermaid. Melusine only spent Saturday in her secluded bath, the rest of the week, (we can only assume), she seemed to be a normal two-legged woman - over a period of years. And she produced children, otherwise she wouldn't be anybody's ancestress. And in the end, Melusine of Luxembourg did not fly away, instead she sank into the depths of the cliffs. Traditional mermaids don't do that - either way. They just stay mermaids.
Another interesting historical member of the House of Luxembourg: Jacquetta of Luxembourg.
She was the second wife of John, Duke of Bedford. He commanded English forces in northern France, and occupied Paris between 1420 and 1435.
