Medb (Old Irish: [mʲeðv]), later spelled Meadhbh (Middle Irish: [mʲɛɣv]), Méabh(a) (Irish: [ˈmʲeːw(ə)]) and Méibh (Irish: [mʲeːvʲ]),[1] and often anglicised as Maeve (/meɪv/ MAYV), is queen of Connacht in the Ulster Cycle of Irish mythology. Her husband in the core stories of the cycle is Ailill mac Máta, although she had several husbands before him who were also kings of Connacht. She rules from Cruachan (now Rathcroghan, County Roscommon). She is the enemy (and former wife) of Conchobar mac Nessa, king of Ulster, and is best known for starting the Táin Bó Cúailnge (The Cattle Raid of Cooley) to steal Ulster's prize stud bull Donn Cúailnge.
Medb is strong-willed, ambitious, cunning and promiscuous, and is an archetypal warrior queen.[2] She is believed by some to be a manifestation of the sovereignty goddess.[3][4][5] Medb of Connacht is probably identical with Medb Lethderg, the sovereignty goddess of Tara.
The name has been Anglicised as Maeve, Maev, Mave or Maiv. There are several place names in Ireland containing the name Medb. According to Kay Muhr of the Ulster Place-Name Society, some of these names suggest Medb was also an earth and fertility goddess. They include Ballypitmave (Baile Phite Méabha, townland of Medb's vulva) in County Antrim and Sawel Pitmave (Samhail Phite Méabha, likeness to Medb's vulva)[6] in County Tyrone, both in northern Ulster. Other placenames include Maeve's Cairn in County Sligo, Barnavave (Bearna Mhéabha, Medb's gap)[8] in County Louth, Boveva (Boith Mhéabha, Medb's huts)[9] in County Londonderry, Knockmaa (Cnoc Meá, Medb's hill) in County Galway, Meskanmave (Meascán Mhéabha, Medb's lump)[10] in County Donegal, Milleen Meva (Millín Mhéabha, Medb's knoll)[11] at Rathcroghan in County Roscommon, and Rath Meave at Tara in County Meath.
