23. Myths
When there are so many myths built around a person, what does it say
about that person? For Ursula Southeil, better known as Mother Shipton,
perhaps the added mystery — however fictitious — is a testament to her
enduring reputation.
24. One of the first
Witch
Born to a mother, who was
also suspected to be a witch,
Mother Shipton was
described as hideously ugly
and disfigured.
The locals called her "Hag
Face" and believed her father
to be the Devil.
25. Despite her unfortunate
appearance, she was said to have
been England's greatest
clairvoyant and was often
compared to her male
contemporary Nostradamus.
27. Natural Death
Thankfully for her sake,
Mother Shipton did not die
by the sword like so many
accused witches before and
after her. Instead she died a
normal death and is said to
have been buried on unholy
ground on the outer edges of
York around 1561.
