Queen Maeve was a famous Irish witch who lived during the Middle Ages.
Biography[]
Prior to the establishment of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, she was involved in the training of young wizards and witches in her native Ireland. She was immortalised on a Chocolate Frog Card.[1][2][3]
Behind the scenes[]
- In 1995, Remus Lupin mentioned there were no princes in the wizarding world,[4] which may suggest there were no wizarding members of royalty. However, as Lupin was speaking in the present tense, it is possible that he meant all members of royalty (including Maeve) had since passed away.
Etymology[]
The name "Maeve" is the anglicised form of the Gaelic name Medb meaning "intoxicating". In Irish legend this was the name of a warrior queen of Connacht. Her fight against Ulster and the hero Cúchulainn is told in the Irish epic 'The Cattle Raid of Cooley'.
