Melusine - was a princess of the southern Picts of Albha. Her totem tribal badge was the Dragon, hence the fairytale connotations. The Dragon Motif turns up later on the seal of Hugh de Vere in 1200 ad whilst the Blue Boar; a Druidic caste badge also called Le Solitaire, was derived from Melusine's husband's family, hence the Blue Boar and "Harpy" or wouivre supporters in the Vere Arms.
