メリュジーヌはキリスト教以前の水の妖精の一人であり<sup>（''要出典''）</sup>、[[取り替え子]]の原因となることもあった。幼いランスロットをさらって育てた「湖の貴婦人」は、そんな水の精であった。
A folktale tradition of a demon wife similar to Melusine appears in early English literature. According to the chronicler [[Gerald of Wales]], [[Richard I of England]] was fond of telling a tale that he was a descendant of an unnamed countess of Anjou.<ref>[[Flori, Jean]] (1999), Richard Coeur de Lion: le roi-chevalier, Paris: Biographie Payot, {{ISBN|978-2-228-89272-8}} {{in lang|fr}}</ref> In the legend, an early Count of Anjou encountered a beautiful woman from a foreign land. They were married and had four sons. However, the count became troubled because his wife only attended church infrequently, and always left in the middle of Mass. One day he had four of his men forcibly restrain his wife as she rose to leave the church. She evaded the men and, in full view of the congregation, flew out of the church through its highest window. She carried her two youngest sons away with her. One of the remaining sons was the ancestor of the later Counts of Anjou, their troublesome nature being the result of their demonic background.<ref>Huscroft, R.

A similar story became attached to [[Eleanor of Aquitaine]], as seen in the 14th-century romance ''[[Richard Coer de Lyon]].'' In this fantastical account, Henry II's wife is not named Eleanor but Cassodorien, and she always leaves Mass before the elevation of the Host. They have three children: Richard, John, and a daughter named Topyas. When Henry forces Cassodorien to stay in Mass, she flies through the roof of the church carrying her daughter, never to be seen again.<ref>{{Cite book |last=Turner |first=Ralph V. |title=Eleanor of Aquitaine: Queen of France, Queen of England |publisher=Yale University Press |year=2009}}</ref><ref>{{Cite journal |last=Chapman |first=Robert L. |date=June 1955 |title=A Note on the Demon Queen Eleanor |url=https://doi.org/10.2307/3039577 |journal=Modern Language Notes |volume=70 |issue=6 |pages=393-396 |via=JSTOR}}</ref>
