希普頓修女的預言

希普頓修女的預言

希普頓修女(1488年~1561年)出生在英格蘭亨利三世的時代英格蘭北約克郡Nidd河邊的Ursula Sontheil的一個超自然力量的山洞裡。她的母親生下她時剛15歲,她沒有父親,很小的時候就擁有了超凡的通靈和預言能力,因此也成為了當地人嚴重的惡魔。在希普頓2歲就進定居修道院,一直到她生命的最後。

她的真正名字無人懂,希普頓是因為她在24歲時嫁給了托比·希普頓。

她是當時一個傳奇的人物,她準確預言了亨利三世在1513年戰勝法國的事件、1666年的倫敦大火、1588年擊敗西班牙艦隊,直到現代​​的各種科技,因此她不僅在家鄉,乃至整個英格蘭都非常有名。從1641年開始,就已經大約有50個版本的關於希普頓和她的預言故事流傳。

由於洩露了天多天機,基督徒們都認為她是惡魔,因此遭遇了聖女貞德的下場。
