…According to another legend, Merovech was conceived when Pharamond’s wife encountered a Quinotaur, a sea monster which could change shapes while swimming. Though never stated, it is implied that she was impregnated by it….. The sea monster could have been a foreign conqueror, coming from the sea, taking the dead king’s(Chlodio or Pharamond) wife to legitimise his rule.
