I think a lot of the OUaT fandom, pictures Aurora's mother, as the blonde from the Disney film. For some reason, I doubt the original Sleeping Beauty, was born a princess. Especially, if she was named Briar Rose. So, I would guess, that Maleficent crashed Aurora's christening.... the whole, revenge on the parents scenario.

Exactly. My theory is that Maleficent and original Sleeping Beauty were in love with the same guy. He chose Sleeping Beauty so that's how it all started. Also, it would be interesting if Maleficent was Aurora's aunt (her father's sister) who wanted the throne for herself. There are so many possibilities...
