Mab (?) in Twelve Months

[Mira]

Austria as a political entity got that name about 1000 years ago.  The first recorded use of the name was Ostarrîchi (ostar/Eastern rîcchi/Realm) in 996AD, when it was just a Margravate of a larger Duchy & a minor part of the Holy Roman Empire (not an independent nation per se)... but that's enough "Austria" that a sneaky author (like Jim) might IMO stretch the time out that far, if he wanted.  It's a long f'ing timeperiod to look for died-young composers; tho Mozart (died at 35) certainly looms large in any such list; and Schubert died even younger!

Not sure what the point is here with all due respect.  Mab still could have been Queen for a thousand years, still look young and pretty as a now mostly Fae.  Who knows what child baring age is for a Fae?  So Mozart or Schubert still could have sired her twins.

"Young and pretty" is irrelevant:  I could ask in return what your point is, there...?  My "point" was that you had asked/speculated about whether Mab's twins were born as Lady or Queen.

From the metaphysics of the situation, it's very possible IMO that the "Lady" cannot have sex & get pregnant.  The "Queen" IMO could become pregnant whenever she wants -- as an immortal, she's unaging.  The "child bearing age" I think begins as soon as she ascends from Lady, and ends when she ascends to the Crone.

I was addressing the historical question:  Mab was Winterqueen for almost the entirety of the existence of "Austria:"  there was no such named place, back when she was Winter Lady.

It has nothing to do with anything, point is, if only Queens can have sex with mortals and produce offspring, then if she had twins by an Austrian composer, it could be any number of them.  We tend to think of the most famous, but honestly people have been composing music for has long as there has been an Austria.

I am quite confused about this discussion. But I do agree that Mab, queen Mab, probably had Sarissa and Maeve around the time of Moazart or perhaps Strauss (one of them).
