		The legend of St Ursula is perhaps the most curious instance of the development of an ecclesiastical myth.

		While St. Ursula Villa's physical presence is its historic Manor House and additional buildings, the true essence of the school is its infrastructure of parents, student, and faculty who hold the highest expectations of one another and recognize their own responsibility to live up to these unilateral expectations.

	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: St. Ursula and the Eleven Thousand Virgins
		This legendary account is well known: Ursula, the daughter of a Christian king of Great Britain, was asked in marriage by the son of a great pagan king.
		When the appointed time was come, and Ursula's betrothed was about to claim her, a gale of wind carried the eleven thousand virgins far from the shores of England, and they went first by water to Cologne and thence to Basle, then by land from Basle to Rome.
		As a consequence two essential traits remain: the English origin of the saints and their massacre by the Huns; and then, according as adherence is given to the "Sermo in natali", Geoffrey of Monmouth, or the Passion "Regnante Domino", the martyrdom of St. Ursula is placed in the third, fourth, or fifth century.

		She travelled Europe in company of either 11 or 11,000 fellow maidens; it is believed that the 11,000 number resulted from a misreading of the term "11M" which indicated 11 Martyrs, but which a copyist took for a Roman numeral.

	The real St. Ursula
		Back in the main chamber of the modern church, set in the wall and about the size of a large TV screen, is the enigmatic Clematius stone, it’s difficult-to-decipher, ambiguous Latin inscription*, carved soon after the appalling event, provides us with the only historical evidence for the atrocity that occurred here.
		As bear-worshipping folk, they probably changed the name of the women’s leader to Ursula, “little bear.” They passed it orally down through the generations—no doubt elaborating here, embroidering there–and the truth as well as the distortions became preserved in the ageless aspic of myth and legend.
		Let there be no mistake, all agreed, Ursula and her “virgins” were no strangers to weaponry.

		Another painting, "Saint Ursula and Four Saints." Long believed to be by Vigri, the work is now attributed to the workshop of Giovanni Bellini.
		It is given here because you will find it named in older references to her art; for example, see its description at #54 in a catalog of one of the rooms in Venice's Accademia, written in the early 1900s.
