Mother Shipton
Mother Shipton is believed to have been an actual person that lived in York and Knaresborough. She is also alleged to have had precognition abilities; she could predict events with great accuracy. Her name was probably Ursula Sondyall.
The legend has it that through her prophecies she predicted the Spanish Armada, the Great Fire of London and even the plague that wiped out approximately 68,000 people in London. During the witch hunt mania in the 17th century, she became the most famous witch because of her powers.
Drawings of her were published and distributed all over the country and they established the image of the witch being hideous, terrifying old evil women. Her image gave a stereotype for what a witch looks like and that she has to be hunted for that.
What contributed if not established this opinion for Mother, was that she predicted that a powerful cardinal will never manage to reach the city of York, in an attempt to reclaim his authority, since London took it away, so he tried going to other cities like York in 1529. But Mother had predicted that he will never make it to the city. Thus, she made the cardinal angry, as she was embarrassing him, so the accusation of her witchcraft was a good way to undermine the credibility of her predictions..
Although her prophesy was fulfilled, as the cardinal never reached York , because of bandit and after that, his death she did not enjoy positive fame, rather she was prosecuted many times from 1700 till 1736 when the law of accusing whoever you wanted for witchcraft got repealed. After that, she returned to her previous status as a respected prophet.
