Mother Shipton

1 sound

Ursula Southeil (c. 1488–1561) better known as Mother Shipton, is an English soothsayer and prophetess. She became the feared and revered prophet of Tudor England. Her name was spoken in low, hushed whispers, as if the very mention of her name would bring the disasters she spoke of down upon the head of he that spoke them.
