Mark,
All these historical events are equivalent without a second screening criterion.
Let's say, as others have said, that the VMs critter, and the one companion of the VMs mermaid might be 'lampooned' representations of the emblem from the Burgundian Order of the Golden Fleece. This assumption provides a specific filter for a further investigation.
The pairing validates the requirement of Deuteronomy, much used in the VMs.
EDIT:
Letters that cross in the email.
Even with a limited frame, the number of individual events is highly expandable. I recommend Richard Vaughan's book on Philip the Good, if you like.
