The Witches
A triad of three haggard witches, they foretell that Edmund shall become king, despite him referring to them as "hideous crones", "loathsome drabs" and "snaggle-toothed vultures". It is only after he leaves that they realise they've mixed him up with someone else (i.e. Henry Tudor, who had passed by moments before). They appear to make this mistake frequently. The witches appeared in the episode, "The Foretelling".

Keeping creation at ease;
With a tendril for needle
They sewed up the air with a stem;”
