Santa Ursula (Saint Ursula)

Probably a legendary British princess who refused to marry a pagan prince. Upon fleeing Britain, she and eleven thousand virgins were slain at the hands of the pagan Huns. Ursula was martyred by an arrow, often shown piercing her breast in popular imagery. She also bears the palm of martyrdom.
