Mab, So Who. . .?
Mira:
Interesting things Corb said to Mab,
--- Quote ---"Old woman," Corb taunted."I remember you as a bawling brat. I remember your pimply face when you rode with the Conqueror. I remember how you wept when Merlin cast you out."

So, did young Mab ride with William the Conqueror? Is that the Conqueror he was referring to? Were they lovers? Was there a White Council even then? Was it the White Council that Merlin cast her out of? Was Mab very much like Molly back then? A young somewhat powerful young wizard that stepped out of line? Actually not too much unlike Harry as well. Was the Conqueror the father of her daughters? Did her faults as a young wizard lead to her ending up with the Winter Lady's mantle very much like Molly?
I am also thinking of a very poignant scene in many ways, when Harry summons Molly with a simple summoning circle and because she is no longer fully human she cannot just walk out of it until Harry breaks the circle. Harry mentions at the time a certain tone in some of her words that gave him chills, I am thinking a hint of Mab.. So to me the scene was very poignant because this is how Mab very well could have been in the beginning until a thousand years or more of being Lady and Queen turned her into the Fae Queen we see today.

At some point Titania and Mab will replace the fairy Grandmothers. Then Molly and Sarissa would become the queens.

That is a given, what I find interesting is how Mab was shaped, she wasn't always the cold Winter Queen we see today.

People do change :)
Conspiracy Theorist:
Mab fits the bill for being, Nimue the Lady of the Lake, Merlin’s love interest, and the one who inprisoned him in a rock for all time (the English Prisoner?). Her Samite cladded arm gave Excalibur to Arthur.
No wonder she was able to recover Harry from Lake Michigan.
I think at this time she was the Winter Lady, rather than Queen.
