Bit maleficent's age is not stated? she is definelty yonger than rumple though and the bush she burned from her dragon power was for "half a lifetime" so at most she is roughly over 100 years old. Technically the black fairy should have more knowledge than even merlin as she has experienced much more in the dark realm due to time moving extremely fast. For instance she has become so adept in dark magic that she is now completly invulnarble to it (Zelena's attack for eg)
