So they say!
"The Counts of Anjou were reputed to be descended from a witch called Melusine, who disappeared in a puff of smoke when ordered to attend Mass by her husband. 'From the Devil we have come and to the Devil we shall go' was a favourite saying of the Plantagenets, apparently."

Also in Alison Weir's "Eleanor of Aquitaine".

To exist in this flawed materialist world one must contain at least a subatomic kernal of evil. The Celts of auld knew that words are self directed and potentially evil if not well controlled. In the ancient times a powerful female divinity balanced the masculine and there was balance in the flow of all things.
Misogynists over the millenium have shrouded the Great Lady and made her over into a demon for the darkness she contains that is the birthplace of light. All beings of power recoginize the necessity of knowing a little evil that they are not the pawns of Great Evil.
There are many Northern clans who claim a Dragon as their totem. It is very likely this Noble of whom you ask was not a stranger to alchemy, sorcery or the like and would have claimed what is said in your question. I have not seen this PBS program on Henry the 2nd but I will be watching for it.

Don't know about that, but he married Eleanor of France she was 11 older, and gave him lots of children.
Then what did Henry do , he cheated on her
much to the annoyance of their son Richard.

If he did then his people probably would have killed him. Those shows are very convincing but not always true.
