The comparison in Post #1 certainly hints at 'sexual viability', which is unusual in itself for mermaids, but clearly, on the other hand, "there don't be no daylight shining through." Medieval mermaids stay as mermaids; AFAIK they don't change to something else. Melusine performed her metamorphosis once a week.
Bonne of Luxembourg was the mother of the Valois lines relevant to the VMs dates. It's not like this information wasn't well known in that era. It's more like certain relevant details have been obscured by the dust devils of history.
Perhaps these "creatures" in the VMS symbolize alchemical processes?
