Great queen
By Fledermaus

Almost given it away to those who know the story...

Her scream echoed over the battlefield

Spelled the death of the one that would not yield

As a princess she seduced him,

Around his feet she did once swim.

She was an eel and a wolf, a heifer and a crone.

Her three blemishes he could lift alone.

A deadly game they played

There outside Macha's gate

Rivalry of hound and crow

Can you tell me her name now?

Hi Penny, 
Very close, but it's not her. ;)

It's a long time since I read of the battle

Nope, but you are thinking in the right direction.
