 Mother Shipton a 15th Century Yorkshire witch. She was said to have powers of
healing and spell-casting, and her prophecies about modern time such as those of
airplanes and cars has come true. Also scientific inventions, new technology,
wars and politics. The legend of Mother Shipton reaches far beyond her native
North Yorkshire; locations across the country have their own Mother
Shipton folktale. Although this mythical figure has been subject to
falsified evidence and tall stories, Mother Shipton is believed to
have been an actual person, Ursula Sondyall, who lived in
Knaresborough and York in the late 15th and early 16th Centuries.
Her prophecies were recounted, published and analysed across the
country, prophesies whose accuracy startled her contemporaries.
People believe she predicted the Spanish Armada, the Great Fire
of London and even the Plague that wiped out 68,000 Londoners. The
earliest surviving record of Mother Shipton is a pamphlet of 1641.
The pamphlet, 'The Prophesie of Mother Shipton in the Raigne of King
Henry the Eighth', describes the prophecy made by Mother Shipton
about Henry VIII?s bishop Cardinal Wolsey
