Queen Maedb

Queen Maedb was the ruling Monarch of the tribe of Geadhwaigh. She was a matriarch descended from the Queen Eithéssia. She was also reknowned for her skills as a medicinewoman.
During a war raged against the Ghrgii in the mountains, she succeeds in defeating them by using herself as a bait inside a cave, to cause an avalanche of stone and rubble and bury a Ghrgii horde of 500, with only a minor force. Legend says she lured the Ghrgii by bathing naked in a water-fall inside the cave.
She used the rubble to start demarcating the borders of a new city, and soon people from all of her realm is flocking to the city of Céaball Léarraigh, named after her first husband and the love of her life, whom she sacrificed to 'the Píonas' to save her unborn daughter when the pregnancy nearly killed her.
