Theory time.

I believe that the twin princes subscribed to the heretical angelic faith (which may be why Emma pleads with you to save Lothric's soul), hence the angelic feathers popping out of some of their attacks. We also know that the pilgrims evolve into angels, and apparently the butterflies are related to the pilgrims, if their names are anything to go by (incidentally, anyone know the Japanese name for the pilgrim butterflies?)

As the pilgrims were unable to enter the castle, they probably evolved into the butterflies. The pilgrim butterflies likely knew the Ashen One was coming for Lothric (whose sake they had journeyed north) and animated the armor as a last means of stopping you. But the armor fails, and they make no more attempts on your life (though they are seen harmlessly circling the keep where the princes await you.)
