My belief is that it's a bunch of scholars mocking the powers-that-were. Like, they were assigned their tasks, they had to do this boring shit, they had to copy this and that, but some bombastic ruler or whatnot was full of hot air and claiming to be God's representative on Earth or whatever, just basically dumb Trump shit, and this was their way of calling bullshit. Like, yeah, we have to portray you as the second coming, but, well, we're gonna do it with butts.
Very tentative of course, not dying on this hill. But likewise, I think the knights on snails thing is like, satire, clever people who knew that whichever prince or baron was promising to destroy the evil enemies of wherever-the-fuck was just spewing bullshit to garner support when in reality he was just prolonging it forever because he had neither the means nor intent to do any such thing- giving rise to these images of valiant knights that were simultaneously heroic and amazing in every way yet for some reason never actually accomplished shit.
