General Information |
The uncertainty surrounding these early chieftains is illustrated by the legend that Merovich was said to have been born of two fathers. When already pregnant by King Chlodio, his mother went swimming in the ocean where she was seduced by an unknown marine creature, a bestæ Neptuni Quinotauri similis. This creature, part man, part bull, and part marine creature, impregnated the Queen a second time. Thus Merovech carried the blood of the Frankish rulers as well as that of an aquatic creature. [1] |
