loathly lady
The "Loathly Lady (Motif D732 in Stith Thompson index), is an archetype commonly used in medieval literature, most famously in Geoffrey Chaucer's ''The Wife of Bath's Tale''.
The motif is that of a woman that appears unattractive (ugly, ''loathly'') but undergoes a transformation upon being approached by a man in spite of her unattractiveness, becoming extremely desirable. It is then revealed that her ugliness was the result of a curse which was broken by the hero's action.
==Irish legend==
The loathly lady can be found in ''The Adventures of the Sons of Eochaid Mugmedon'', in which Niall of the Nine Hostages proves himself the rightful High King of Ireland by embracing her; the motif can also be found in stories of the earlier high kings Lugaid Loígde and Conn of the Hundred Battles.
