Donegild(3 syl.). The wicked mother of Alla, King of Northumberland.
Hating Cunstance because she was a Christian, she put her on a raft
with her infant son, and turned her adrift. When Alla returned from

death. ( The tradition of St. Mungo resembles the Man of Lawes Tale in many respects. Source: Dictionary of Phrase and Fable, E. Cobham Brewer, 1894 More on Donegild from Infoplease:
