Those who assert the legend to be based on a fact, have supplied the following names as the most noted of the virgins, and, as there are but eleven given, it favors the Freisingen Codex:--(1) Ursula, (2) Sencia or Sentia, (3) Gregoria, (4) Pinnosa, (5) Mardia, (6) Saula, (7) Brittola, (8) Saturnina, (9) Rabacia, Sabatia, or Sambatia, (10) Saturia or Saturnia, and (11) Palladia.
In 1837 was celebrated with great splendor the sixteenth centenary “jubilee of their passion.”
Bright Ursula the third, who undertook to guide
The eleven thousand maids to Little Britain sent,
By seas and bloody men devoured as they went;
Of which we find these four have been for saints preferred.
And with their leader still do live encalendered:
St. Agnes, Cor´dula, Odillia, Florence, which
With wondrous sumptuous shrines those ages did enrich
At Cullen.
