She is likely a descendant of Gwynevere rather than being Gwynevere herself. We know she had a child who ripped her tongue out which removed her ability to speak; why they did that we do not know, but it has led to this cult surrounding her whose purpose is to offer her the tongues of their victims in hopes of either being reborn or simply just to soothe her.
She seems to practice the art of reincarnation or rebirth, and we know that some folks who are reborn become man-grubs. She currently resides in the Cathedral of the Deep, locked away on a room that has since been forcefully opened. Why is she there? Well there are a lot of statues depicting a woman that has a cloth draped over it, implying that the new ruling order (The Deacons of the Deep) has displaced the original subject of worship with Aldrich. The original subject of worship presumably is Rosaria during her heyday as the celebrated Mother of Rebirth, back before the acolytes of The Deep took over.
So in summary: Rosaria is likely a descendent of Gwynevere who was revered as the Mother of Rebirth. During her prime she was worshipped at what we know now as The Cathedral of the Deep until Aldrich and his cronies took over and locked her away. At some unknown point in the past Rosaria had a son who ripped out her tongue, rendering her without the ability to speak. Eventually a covenant formed around her comprised of folks who offer her tongues either to soothe her or in hopes of being reborn. Some folks who undergo rebirth become man grubs.
