Mother Shipton (circa 1486-1561) was a legendary English witch and soothsayer, known as the Yorkshire Sibyl. She is supposed to have been born at Dropping Well, Knaresborough, Yorkshire, in about the year 1486.
In the case of Mother Shipton, those who think the 1881 prophecy may indeed have been attributed to her often penalize her severely. The prophecy was even mocked in a cartoon appearing in Harper's Weekly in January 1882, filled with I told you so innuendos from skeptics.
