The fairy wife of King Pwyll in WelshMythology. He offered to marry her when she said she didn't like her other suitor, so she accepted. When her first son was born, he vanished mysteriously and the maids panicked, not only because their king's heir was gone but because they might be blamed for it. To save their asses, they [[KickTheDog killed a few puppies from a recent litter, smeared the blood on the unconscious Rhiannon's hands and mouth, and said she'd eaten her own son in a fit of madness]]. ...Yeah. This wasn't good for Rhiannon since she was still out of it from giving birth and wasn't sure if she ''hadn't'' done such a horrible thing, and everyone started howling for [[FantasticRacism the evil fairy to be killed]]. Pwyll really wanted to believe Rhiannon but he was also responsible for, you know, ruling, so to compromise he said that she would have to carry visitors from the courtyard to his hall on her back for seven years. Luckily her son was actually alive, had been named Pryderi by his adopted parents, and in the commotion over him nobody had noticed that a newborn foal had also gone missing. Past that the different versions of the story get a little contradictory, but everything sorted out in the end. Except for Pwll getting killed in a battle, but Rhiannon eventually married Manawydan, another of the Fair Folk.
* BroughtDownToNormal: Both in-story (she's a sidhe woman who married a human) and meta, if you believe that she was once a horse-goddess with her SerialNumbersFiledOff.
