mistress of all evil a tale of the dark fairy

Katharine Briggs suggests that this is 'the model for all subsequent fairies' visits.' Morgue and Arsile are pleased and bestow blessings of good fortune on the men who set the table, but Maglore is angry that her place is missing a knife, and curses the men with bad fortune. In the 13th-century French play Le Jeu de la Feuillée by Adam de la Halle, a table is set for three fairies named Morgue, Arsile and Maglore. The figure of an insulted fairy seems to have originated outside this story type. Venus softens the curse so that Zellandine's lover can wake her. Not seeing it, and thinking she has been left out, Themis curses Zellandine to prick her finger with spinning flax and fall asleep forever. However, Themis's knife accidentally falls under the table. These goddesses oversee the birth and bless the child, much like the Fates of mythology. The aunt of the newborn Zellandine is given the task of setting a table with food for three goddesses: Venus, Lucina, and Themis. The French romance Perceforest, which dates to at least 1528 and probably earlier, features a segment similar to Sleeping Beauty. All of them give gifts to Lisa, but one twists her ankle and curses Lisa to 'die' via a comb in her hair. In the same collection, in The Young Slave, the heroine Lisa is raised by fairies. Talia's fate is prophesied by wise men, but her fate is not caused by magic. There are no fairy godmothers in Sleeping Beauty's predecessor Sun, Moon, and Talia from Giambattista Basile's Pentamerone (1634). Some renditions of Sleeping Beauty include a fairy godmother and others do not. She declares that 'because you did not invite me, I tell you that in her fifteenth year, your daughter will prick herself with a spindle and fall over dead'. She shows up at the christening anyway, angry at not being invited. In the Brothers Grimm version, Little Brier-Rose, the king intentionally does not invite the thirteenth fairy (or, depending on translation, wise woman) because he doesn't have enough golden plates. When the princess is fifteen or sixteen, she meets a spinning woman, pricks her finger on the bodkin, and falls into a deep sleep. Another fairy mitigates the curse so that the princess will only fall into a deep sleep and the king attempts to protect her by removing all spindles. Infuriated, the old fairy curses the princess to die from wounding her hand on a spindle. When she shows up they hastily welcome her, but do not have a golden case to give her. However, an eighth, older fairy is forgotten. In Charles Perrault's Sleeping Beauty, published in 1697 in Histoires ou contes du temps passé, a king and queen celebrate their daughter's christening by inviting seven fairies and give them each a golden case with a jeweled knife, fork and spoon. In some adaptations she is known as Carabosse, and she is named Maleficent in Walt Disney media.

The Wicked fairy is the antagonist of Sleeping Beauty.
