Spelling[edit]

Please verify spelling of vengence in Shelley quote (should it be vengeance?. Kyriosity 23:49, 10 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Source of quote[edit]

Can anyone identify the source of this quote: "Queen Mab came about doth my bed side, and swooped upon thee, with great vengeance."? It looked like it was supposed to be from the Shelley poem, but if it is, I can't find it. I modified the presentation to make the uncertainty of its origin apparent and request a citation.

What speech?[edit]

I cut the following from the "other modern uses" section: "The speech is also quoted by Simon Le Bon in Duran Duran's music video for Night Boat, an album track off their debut album." What speech does this mean? Aleta 01:56, 19 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

References: Jim Butcher[edit]

I've never made a reference before, so I'm sure I probably didn't do it correctly. Can someone check the Reference and the link in the "Other modern uses" section to be sure they are done right? RickOsborne (talk) 16:46, 5 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Actually the Jim Butcher reference is a tad misleading. In The Dresden Files Queen Mab is one of the 3 queens of Winter, but she is also one of the 6 queens of fairy as a whole, since Summer also has 3 queens. (Titania is Queen Mab's Summer-counterpart.)

Pre-16th C origins?[edit]

I was under the impression that the legends of Mab were connected to Maeve (in Gaelic Medb) -- does anyone know if this is true or what the pre-Shakespearean references or developments are? Dcmcmurtry (talk) 15:43, 17 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

It's not as likely as pop culture would have you believe. It is quite possibly just from "Mab" a popular short form of Mabel in ages past. Sigurd Dragon Slayer (talk) 13:03, 20 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

It is obvious to anyone with any knowledge of Queen Medb and Queen Mab that they are linked. And the direction is obviously Medb to Mab. The suggestion that this obscure link is part of "pop culture" is fatuous nonsense. The really interesting thing is the obsessive resistance of many Anglo Saxons to the idea that any part of their culture could possibly be influrnced by the Celtic untermensch Felimy419 (talk) 22:53, 10 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Queen Mab[edit]

The third hour after midnight they seated me in the chariot of Queen Mab. It was of a prodigious dimension, large enough to contain more stowage than the tun of Heidelberg, and globular, like a hazel-nut.
