It was in the very beginning of her Rule, and I doubt Lea started out being stronger than the Court's Lady. The WOJ /sort/ of implies this, that Lea gaining power after this lesson was learned which solved the issue better than handing out favors to big powerful things.

It's a fun chicken-and-egg question, for me, too; did Lea get all the power she has by hitching her wagon to Mab (like Toot to Harry) or did she acquire enough power that she was able to step in for Mab? I think it's a little from column A, a little from column B, but I, for one, would love to see a nearly feral Lea inspiring and draining artists in pre-Christian Europe.

This needing to be in two places at once is also mentioned in Amber. It led Merlin to speculate that brand had used time travel to do it.
The other option was something along the lines of using his shadow self, but that really didn't seem the option considered then or now.

Based on this WOJ, ya it's a bit of Both. Lea did a lot of independent Power gathering with her blood-muse stuff, but basically /had/ to get something from the Toot/Coat-tails mechanic.

The Leansidhe nature seems to conflict with that of Winter - and she seems to be much more Summer-y, since she wears lots of reds and greens and so on.
They're not elementals. They're not divided along the lines of - specifically - of the classical elements. They're more about the elemental portions of the soul, which - okay, that's getting really technical and highfaluting. But the point is, Lea drains people's blood and drinks it, and that was how she made her bones in the fairy world. She's an actual legendary figure, where bards and poets and painters and so on would come to her and seek her inspiration. And she was kind of this vampire-muse - that was the original Leansidhe - that's her original story. And in the DF universe that was how she made her bones, that's how she impressed big Mab. It was like - oh wow - you took these guys who were out there just seeking to create something beautiful and yet increased your dark and evil power - Well done!

We have further evidence now that the ladies, Queens are to be considered "fraternal twins' which is one of the ways I've taken Jim's woj to mean regarding Mab and Titania.
--- Quote ---For just a fraction of a second, Maeve’s smug exterior changed, becoming graver, more somber. In that instant, she and Lily looked as though they might have been fraternal twins. “With absolute certainty.”

Just a bit of trivia for the Battle of Hastings ... It took place approximately 7 miles northwest of Hastings, close to the present-day town of Battle, East Sussex. Not really adding to the thread, but I found it interesting.
