The predictions about France
Nostradamus was a Jew who was born and lived in France. Apparently he considered himself a Frenchman and loved his homeland. Most of his prophecies were about his native country. The prophet foretold all French kings, beginning with Henry II. For many centuries France has been among the leading countries of Europe. And now it is one of the leading countries in the world. Its capital, Paris, is one of the most beautiful European cities. Nostradamus sometimes calls the French as Gauls or cocks. Gaul is the Roman name of France. In Latin, the word Gallus means «cock». It became the symbol of France.
Quatrain 4.31 Maid of Orleans
La lune au plain de nuict sur le haut mont
Le nouueau sophe d’vn seul cerueau l’a veu,
Par ses disciples estre immortel semond,
Yeux au midy, en sens mains corps au feu.
The Moon in the full of night over the high hill,
The new sage with a lone brain sees it:
Through followers (she) will gain immortality,
Eyes to the south. Hands in bosoms, bodies in the fire.
This is the quatrain about execution of the Maid of Orleans (~1412-30.05.1431), She was well known in France and abroad. This girl at the head of the army was able to win a number of victories over the British in the Hundred Years War. This was a turning point in the war. France soon freed itself from the occupiers.
The first line is probably the indicated night and place before the execution. A high place was erected for the fire in the Place de Rouen, so that it was clearly visible.
The second line is about Joan of Arc, who in her prison, could only mentally imagine this place.
Third line. In 1456, a new investigation and a posthumous court denied all charges and found Jeanne innocent. In 1920 she was canonized, i.e. gained immortality.
The 4th line describes the execution by burning.
Decoding of the number is not required. The Prophet knew this year. If 1 to put in front, then will be 1431 – the year of the burning of Saint Jeanne.
Quatrain* 9.23 Francis Count of Enghien
Puisnay ioüant au fresch dessous la tonne,
Le haut du toict du milieu sur la teste:
Le pere Roy au temple sainct Solonne,
Sacrifiant sacrera fum de feste.
The younger son playing outdoors under the arbor,
The top of the roof in the middle on his head,
The father King in the temple of Saint-Solonne,
Sacrificing he will consecrate festival smoke.
The quatrain describes the death of Francis Count of Enghien on 23. 02.1546, at the age of 26. Despite his youth, he managed to prove himself in Italy as a capable military leader. In honor of the upcoming Easter holiday, King Francis I made a pilgrimage with his courtiers to Sologne and stayed at the castle of La Roche-Guyon.
At the walls of the castle, the Count of Enghien, Prince Henry and several other young people staged something like a game, a struggle, which, perhaps, turned into a fight. A heavy forged chest fell from the castle window onto the duke, and after 3 days he died. The king closed the investigation and announced that it was an accident, but Nostradamus considers it a victim.
The last two lines are about the celebration of Easter at the Cathedral of Saint-Solinne in Blois.
Decoding of the number 9.23. 23 – day, 2 – month of death. If to flip 92 in 65, 3+1=4, then rearranging 654 we get 546.
*The idea of decoding belongs to A. Penzensky.
Quatrain 8.44 Birth of Henry IV
Le procree naturel dogmion,
De sept a neuf du chemin destorner
A roy de longue & amy au my hom[e]
Doit a Navarre fort de Pav prosterner.
Natural Ogmyon will be born,
Seven to nine will turn off the road
To the king for many years of friendship in his house,
Navarre obliged to worship to the staunch from Pau.
The 1 line. In Celtic mythology Ogmyon symbolizes Hercules. Henry IV was a hero on the battlefield, showed steadfastness, courage, defeated his enemies and became king of France.
The 4 line. Henry of Navarre Bourbon was born 13 December 1553 in the city of Pau, became the king of Navarre from 1572.
The 2-3 lines. In 1561 (7 years) his father gave up of Henry for a parenting in the royal family. For many years he grew up and was brought up with the children of queen Catherine de Medici under one roof. Then he married her daughter Margarita, but this marriage was not successful.
Connection with other quatrains: 6.42 – Ogmyon.
Decoding of the number 8.44. If numbers to rearrange – 448, 4 to consider as 400, then 400-48=352. 2 to turn over into 5 and return the initial order – 553, 1 to put in front it will be 1553 – the year of birth.
Quatrain 4.8[2] Battle of Saint-Quentin
La grand cité d’assaut pront & repentin,
Surprins de nuict, gardes interrompus:
Les excubies & veilles saint Quintin,
Trucidez gardes & les portails rompus.
The great city by prompt and sudden assault
Surprised at night, guards interrupted:
The guards and watches of Saint Quentin
The guards killed and the portals broken.
It’s probably a prophecy about the battle of Saint Quentin in 1557. This city in the north of France is named after the holy martyr Quentin. Several big battles are associated with this city, which is called the guard of Paris. One of them was on August 10, 1557 during the 8th Italian War between the Spanish and the French. The city on the shore of the Somme, with a population of ~ 8 thousand people, was protected by old fortifications. Part of his garrison Duke of Guise took for the Italian campaign. Admiral Coligny, Governor of Picardy, entered the city on the night of August 3 with 300 infantrymen and 600 cavalrymans. Coligny could not hold the city, and by the end of August Saint Quentin was surrendered.
Linkage with other quatrains: 9.25, 4.12.
Decoding of the number 4.8. If 1 to put at ahead, 8 to consider as 800 then 800-41=759. 9 flip in 6, 6-1=5, by swapping numbers 755 we will get 557 – the year of battle.
Quatrain 4.12 Defeated of the French 1557
Le camp plus grand de route mis en fuite,
Gueres plus outre ne sera pourchassé:
Ost recampé & region reduicte,
Puis hors de Gaule du tout sera chassé.
The greater army put to flight in disorder,
But then no one will be chase,
The army will change camp, the legion will be reduced,
Then it will be chased out completely from the Gauls.
This is another prophecy about the battle of Saint-Quentin in 1557, in which the Spaniards defeated the French. The French lost almost all the guns, many noble nobles were captured. The army retreated to La Fer. 1 league before the city, the Spaniards stopped the persecution. Paris was not protected and the path to it was open. The Spaniards planned a campaign on it, but first it was necessary to take Saint-Quentin. While the city was take, Paris made ready for defense. The victorious Spaniards could not organize the supply of the 50 thousandth army and the army was disbanded.
Decoding of number 4.12. The numbers rearrange – 142. If 2 to flip in 5, 1 to consider as 1000, then 1000-45 = 955. Turn 9 over in 6, 6+1 = 7 – 755 on the contrary will be 557 – the year of the battle.
Quatrain 9.25[2] Invasion of the Spanish 1557
Passant les Ponts venir pres des rosiers,
Tard arriue plustost qu’il cuydera,
Viendront les noues Espagnols a Besiers,
Qui icelle chasse emprinse cassera.
Crossing the bridges to come near the Roisiers,
Sooner than he thought, he arrived late.
The new Spanish will come to Béziers,
So that this chase will break the enterprise.
Perhaps this is a prophecy about the Spanish invasion to France in 1557. The word rosiers can mean the name of the settlements, however, it is written with a small letter, so it’s more likely that the rouses are implied. This indicates daylight saving time. At the end of the summer of 1557, a Saint Quentin battle took place. The city defence was led by Admiral Coligny. The Spanish surrounded the city from all sides. The 20 thousand-strong French army under the command of Montmorency moved to help the people under the siege. The superior forces of the Spanish gained a quick victory.
The 4 line: The remnants of army took refuge in La Fère. The Spanish stopped the pursuit 5 km before the city. Many French nobles were captured. The way to Paris was open. By this time duke of Guise had returned from Italy and gathered an army to protect the capital. The enemy ran out of money and the Spanish army was dissolved.
Linkage with other quatrains: 4.8.
Decoding of the number 9.25. If 9 to flip in 6, 600-25=575, 7 and 5 to swap, 1 to put in front, then we get 557 – the year of battle.
Quatrain 7.25 Army exhausted
Par guerre longue tout l’exercice expuiser,
Que pour soldats ne trouueront pecune:
Lieu d’or d’argent, cuir on viendra cuser,
Gaulois aerain /airain/, signe croissant de Lune.
Through long war all the army exhausted,
so that they do not find money for the soldiers;
instead of gold or silver, they will come to coin leather,
Gallic brass, and the crescent sign of the Moon.
Spain won a crushing victory over the French in 1557 at the Battle of Saint-Quentin. They suffered minor losses and could take Paris. But the army was weakened, the hired soldiers fled, robbing the captured city. Philip II of Spain went bankrupt and could not pay the salaries of the soldiers.
Last line about King Henry II of Gali: the crescent was his symbol.
Decoding of the number 7.25. Reverse it – 527, flip 2 in 5 – 557, put 1 in front and get 1557 – year of battle.
Quatrain 2.79 Will subjugate proud people
La barbe crespe & noire par engin,
Subiuguera la gent cruelle & fiere:
Vn grand Chyren ostera du longin,
Tous les captifs par Seline baniere.
The beard curly and black of weapons
Will subjugate the cruel and proud people:
The great Chyren will exempt from far away
All of captives under the banner of Selin.
The first line is probably about Philip II, king of Spain. He had a black and curly beard. Of course, many rulers had beards at that time. Line 3 is clearly about Henry II (Chyren-Henryc), who fought with Philip for the possession of Italy.
Cruel and proud people perhaps are the Moriski, whom the Spanish king converted to Christianity and subjugated to himself. It is also possible that these are Italians. Under the peace treaty in Kato Cambresi 1559, almost all of Italy, with few exceptions, came under the rule of Philippe II.
3-4 lines are obout the liberation of all the French from Spanish captivity in 1559 by Henry II, after the conclusion of the peace. Numerous French nobles were captured by the Spaniards at the Battle of Saint-Quentin in 1557 and were there for almost 2 years.
Possible decoding of number 2.79. If 2 to consider as 2000, 9 to flip in 6, then 2000-76=1924. 1924+1=1925. Turn 2 over in 5, the numbers to rearrange and get 1559 – year of the liberation of captives.
Quatrain 1.35 Henry II
Le Lyon ieune, le vieux surmontera,
En champ bellique par singuliere duelle,
Dans cage d’or les yeux luy creuera,
Deux classes vne, pour mourir mort cruelle.
The young lion will overcome the older one
In a field of combat in single fight:
He will pierce his eyes in their golden cage;
Two wounds in one, then he dies a cruel death.
Henry II (1519-1559) – was a king of France starting 1547 from the Angouleme line of Valois. This quatrain is the most famous prophecy by Nostradamus, that came true during his lifetime. It brought him fame and favor of the Queen. Henry’s widow made him a court astrologer and physician. Nostradamus warned the king of the danger of knightly contests. But Henry did not attach importance to it, and the prediction came true.
Lines 1, 2: in honor of the wedding of the daughter Elizabeth and the Spanish king, Henry arranged a three-day knight tournament. On the second day of the holiday, he decided to take part personally. He had a duel with the Earl of Montgomery, who was 11 years younger. The spear of the Earl broke down on the helmet of the enemy. The splinters of the spear pierced through the helmet into the forehead and eye. After several painful days, Henry II died on July 10, 1559 from blood infection.

Quatrain 3.55* The death of Henry II
En l’an qu’vn ?il en France regnera,
La court sera en vn bien fascheux trouble:
Le grand de Bloys son amy tuera,
Le regne mis en mal & doute double.
In the year that one eye will reign in France,
The court will be in very unpleasant trouble:
The great one of Blois will kill his friend,
The realm placed in harm and double doubt.
The 1 line: In 1559 Henry II king of France accidentally lost his eye at the knight’s contest.
The 3 line: The wound was fatal, and a few days later he died. His adversary, the guard officer Earl de Montgomery was born in Lorges, not far from Blois. There was no hostility in the contest. It was a part of the entertainment wedding program. Montgomery became the instrument of Fate. The king asked to not punish him. Later, the earl took an active part in religious wars on the side of Protestant. After being captured, he was executed by the the order of Catherine de Medici. So the Queen avenged her beloved husband.
Lines 2, 4: Weak and painful Francis II, became the new king. In fact Catherine de Medici ruled the country. With her husband alive she was removed from reign. The unrest began in France, the Huguenots revolted in the south.

Quatrain 6.63* Catherine de Medici
La dame seulle au regne demeurée,
L’vnic estaint premier au lict d’honneur
Sept ans sera de douleur explorée,
Plus longue vie au regne par grand heur.
The lady left alone in the realm
By the unique one extinguished first on the bed of honor:
Seven years will she be weeping in grief,
Then with great good fortune for the realm long life.
*This quatrain was interpreted by contemporaries of events as a prophecy about Catherine de Medici (1519-1589) – Queen of France from 1547 until 1559, wife of Henry II. The first 3 lines of quatrain are a prediction about the widowhood of the queen. After the death of Henry II a broken spear with the inscription: «This causes all my tears and my pain» became of Catherine’s emblem. As a sign of mourning she always wore black clothes, although before it, mourning clothes was white. She was called the «Black Queen».
The 4 line: Under Henry’s reign his favourite Diane Poitiers had a great political weight. Having widowed, queen gained great political influence during the reign of her three sons. When her sons were young, she was a Regent. Catherine did not participate in the governance.
Catherine de Medici managed to keep the crown for the sons, although Henry Guise and Henry of Navarre laid а claim on it. Religious wars have shaken the country during the reign of her sons. Despite the fact that she had many children, she did not have heirs and the Angouleme branch of Valois was cut short.

The unfortunate nuptials will be celebrated
In great joy, but the end unhappy:
Husband and mother will slight the daughter-in-law,
The Apollo dead and the daughter-in-law more pitiful.
As in the quatrain 1.35 the tragic wedding of the French princess Elizabeth Valois (1545-1568) and Philip II of Spain is predicted here.
The 1 line: Many years France was at war against Spain. In 1559 the war was ended by the peace treaty in Chateau Cambresis. One of the conditions of the peace treaty was the marriage of the eldest daughter of the King of France and the Spanish King. She was 14 years old.
The 4 line: During the wedding Henry II was wounded in a knight’s duel. Elizabeth was homesick. Philip paid little attention to her, and she spent a lot of time alone. Having given birth to two daughters she died during the unsuccessful birth in 1568 quite young, at the age of 23.

Et deƒcouuerts par abois de maƒtins.
Within Lyons twenty-five of one mind,
Five citizens, Germans, Bressans, Latins:
Under a noble one they will lead a long train,
And discovered by barks of mastiffs.
This prophecy was interpreted by contemporaries of events as a prediction of the Protestant revolt in Lyons. The organizer was the adventurer Jean du Barry, and Gaspard Coligny – «the silent leader.» The conspirators’ meeting was held for the first time in January 1560 in Lyons. They planned to capture the Blois castle, the deposition of King Francis II, and then the division of the provinces.
The royal family moved to Amboise. The plot was disclosed, the attack of the conspirators on Amboise was repulsed, and the conspirators were executed. Despite the failure of the plot, the position of the Protestant partially improved: the fire cells was disbanded. Nevertheless, the prohibition of religious meetings and public Protestant worship remained.

Mort dans sa tante diront qu’il dort leans.
Through avarice, through force and violence
The chiefs of Orleans will come to vex his supporters.
Near St. Memire, assault and resistance.
Dead in his tent they will say he is asleep inside.
The chiefs of Orleans were Prince Conde and brother of Admiral de Coligny Francois. They were the main initiators of religious wars. They came to Orleans because it was the main city of the Huguenots at that time. Catholic mass was forbidden here, their temples were desecrated.
In 1563 Francois I de Guise, the Duke of Lorraine, led a Catholic army, besieged Orleans. 02.24.1563 in the town of Saint-Mesmin, he was killed by the Huguenot de Mere. The consequence of this was the conclusion of peace – the city remained with the Protestants.
Decoding of the number 8.42. The numbers rearrange – 482, flip 5 to 2 – 485, if 4 to consider as 4000, then 4000-85 = 3915. Turning 9 to 6 and rearranging the numbers, we get 1563 – the year, and 24 – the day of death de Guise.

Louis Conde (7 May 1530 – 13 March 1569) prince Bourbon was the leader of the Huguenots during the religious wars in France. He was hunchback. In 1560 he organized an Amboise conspiracy against king Francis II. The conspiracy was disclose, but Conde was forgiven. In 1562 he captured several cities in the south of France, starting the 1st religious war. He was defeated and in 1563 made peace. In 1568 he again unsuccessfully attempted to killed of king Charles IX. In 1569 he began the second religious war and was killed by baron de Montesquieu.
Decoding of the number 3.41. If to rearrange the numbers – 431, to put 1 in front and to consider as 1000, then 1000-431=569 – year, 3 – month, 13 – day of death (full date).

Seven years after he will be in rebellion,
Venice will come to fear the Barbarian army.
Gaspard de Coligny (16.02.1519-24.08.1572) admiral of France from 1552, count, leader of the Huguenots.
1-2 lines about resignation Admiral in 1559. Before that, being in Spanish captivity in 1557-1559, he changed the Catholic faith to Protestant and became an assistant to the Prince of Conde in the Huguenot wars.
3 line. About 7 years later in 1567 the Huguenots took up arms-rebelled. Under the leadership of Conde and Coligny they fought quite successfully. After the death of Conde in 1570 Gaspard led the army began to attack Paris. Charles IX had to conclude the peace of Saint-Germain. Coligny became the king’s closest aide.
However, the hatred of the Catholics was very great, and in 1572 the St. Bartholomew’s day they killed him.
4 line is related to the previous only in time. In 1570, the Grand vizier Mehmed Sokolli presented Venice claims to Cyprus. As a result of the war, which lasted 3 years, the Ottomans won. They received a large indemnity.
Decoding of number 6.75. If 6 to turn over in 9, 9+1=10, then will 1075. The permutation of numbers gives 1570 – the year of the beginning of the Ottoman-Venetian war for Cyprus.

Hope and shadow of a higher marriage:
Guard deceived, fort seized in a hurry,

Perhaps, St. Bartholomew’s night was predicted here – the mass extermination of the Huguenots by Catholics, which began in Paris at night on 24.08.1572.
1 line, possibly about participation of the Scottish guards in the massacre. The initiative of the Italian advisers to queen Catherine de ‘Medici and duke of Alba is not excluded.
2 line. A few days before the tragic events, the wedding of Henry of Navarre (protestant) and princess Margaret of Valois (catholic) took place.
4 line. A wave of religious terror swept across many regions of France.

Decoding of the number 2.25. 200-25=175, in reverse order 571+1=572 – the year of St. Bartholomew’s night.
Quatrain 3.91 King sick
L’arbre qu’estoit par si long temps seché,
Dans vne nuit viendra à reuerdir.
Cron. Roy malade. Prince pied ettaché,
Craint d’ennemis fera voile bondir.
The tree which had long been dead and withered,
In one night it will come to grow green again:
Cron. King sick, Prince with club foot,
Feared by enemies he will make his sail bound.
This prophecy is probably about the events after the St. Bartholomew’s night in August 1572. According to the description of Pierre de L’Etoile a dry hawthorn bloomed in the cemetery of the Innocents in Paris, the day after the massacre of the Protestants. Huge crowds of people came to see this miracle.
After the events of that night, King Charles IX of France fell seriously ill and 1.5 years later, in 1574, died of tuberculosis. The Prince, probably Francis Alanson, the king’s younger brother, organized a conspiracy to seize power. The conspirators, extradited by the prince, were executed, and François was pardoned.
Feared by enemies is the fear of Protestants after a brutal massacre. The word voile translates not only as a sail, but has other meanings.
Quatrain 4.47[1] Charles IX
Le noir farouche quand aura essayé,
Sa main sanguine par feu, fer, arcs tendus,

Voir les plus grands par col & pieds pendus.
The savage black one when he will have tried
His bloody hand at fire, sword and drawn bows:
All of his people will be terribly frightened,
Seeing the greatest ones hung by neck and feet.
Charles IX (1550-1574) was a French King starting from 1560, from the Angouleme branch of Valois. Due to the the infancy, his regent was the mother Catherine de Medici until 1563.
The 3 line – probably this is a prophecy about St. Bartholomew’s Night. On the night of August 24, 1572 in Paris, before the day of St. Bartholomew, the mass extermination of Protestants by Catholics occurred. Then a wave of murders of Huguenots swept through other cities of France. The exact number of victims is unknown ~ 30 thousand people. The official responsibility for this bloodshed was taken by Charles IX himself.
The 4 line. Many of the richest and most notable Huguenots of France gathered in Paris for a wedding. The wedding of the sister of King Margarita (Catholic) and one of the leaders of Protestants Henry of Navarre took place 6 days before the tragic events. Many of them were killed that night. Two days before the massacre there was an attempt to assassinate Admiral Coligny, a leader of the Huguenots.

Margaret of Valois (14.05.1553-27.03.1615) daughter of Henry II and Catherine de ‘ Medici, wife of Henry of Navarre from 1572. The marriage was more formal than actual. She outlived all her brothers and sisters, had no children. She known for numerous sexual relationship.
In 1586, Margaret was arrested on the orders of her brother Henry III and was detained in the castle of Jusson for about 2 months. Then she managed to free herself and become the mistress of the castle. The guards swore to her. According to some reports, she was helped by the duke of Guise, with whom she was in an affair. He and Henry III were killed in the next 2 years. Margaret lived in this castle for 18 years.
Decoding of number of 4.41. If to rearrange the numbers-414, to put 1 in front and to consider as 1000, then 1000-414=586 – the year of captivity.
Quatrain 1.85 The brothers d’Guise
Par la response de Dame, Roy trouble,
Ambassadeurs mespriseront leur vie,
Le grand ses freres contrefera double,
Par deux mourront ire, haine, enuie.
The king is troubled by the queen’s reply.
Ambassadors will fear for their lives.
The great one will encroach on his brothers doubly,
two of them will die through anger, hatred and envy.
The assassination of the brothers d’Guise by King Henry III in 1588 is predicted here. The first line apparently refers to Catherine de ‘Medici, who had a great influence on her son. At Blois, where the king was, the Astates general were convened. The de Guise brothers arrived there. Henry de Guise was the recognized leader of the people, which caused envy and anger among the unpopular and exiled king. Both brothers were killed by order of Henry III.
Linkage with other quatrains: 1.36, 5.9.
Quatrain 1.36 The murder of Guise
Tard le Monarque se viendra repentir,
De n’auoir mis а mort son aduersaire,
Mais viendra bien а plus haut consentir,
Que tout son sang par mort fera deffaire.
Too late the king will repent
that he did not put his adversary to death.
But he will soon come to agree to far greater things
which will cause all his line to die.
In 1585 the war of «Three Henrys» began between the king, the Catholic Henry Guise and the Protestant Henry of Navarre. Henry duke of Guise claimed the throne, although he did not have a hereditary right, but he had much more popularity among the people than the king. Henry of Navarre had a legitimate hereditary right to the throne and fought for it. He was supported by the Protestant of England and Germany and fortune favored him. The king tried to lessen the religious tensions and to establish peace, but he could not do it.
In 1588 Paris rebelled against the king, and he fled to Blois. The Duke de Guise solemnly entered the capital. The people met him as the new king. In December Henry III convened the General States and invited the de Guise brothers to join them. They both were killed by order of the king.
Decoding of the number 1.36. 600-13=587. 587+1=588.
Quatrain 5.9 The Duke will be in a trap
Iusques au fond la grand arq demolue,
Par chef captif l’amy anticipe,
Naistra de dame front face cheuelue,
Puis par astuce Duc a mort attrappe.
The great arch demolished down to its base,
By the chief captive his friend forestalled,
He will be born of the lady with hairy forehead and face,
Then through cunning the Duke overtaken by death.
The last line gives grounds to assume that this is a prophecy about Henry d’Guise, who illegally claimed the French crown. In 1588, the King lured the duke to his castle and ordered the guards to kill him. Prior to this, Guise received a note from an unknown friend who warned that he would be killed tomorrow, but did not believe it.
Earlier, in the same year, the daughter of d’Guise Louise Margarita was born. Like at her father, her hair reached the middle of her forehead.
Decoding of the number 5.9. If 1 to put in front, 9 to consider as 900, then 900-15=885. By swapping these numbers we get 588 – the year of birth of the daughter.
Quatrain 3.51 Paris conspires a great murder
Paris coniure vn grand meurtre commettre
Blois le fera sortir en plain effect:
Ceux d’Orleans voudront leur chef remettre,
Angiers, Troye, Langres : leur feront grad (forfait.
Paris conspires to commit a great murder
Blois will cause it to be fully carried out:
Those of Orléans will want to replace their chief,
Angers, Troyes, Langres will commit a misdeed against them.
The 1 line: Henry III of Valois was not popular among the people. He did not have a heir. Given this, Henry of Guise decided to seize the crown of France and organized a conspiracy against the king. In May 1588, the Paris people revolted against Henry III. He was forced to flee to the royal castle in Blois. Orleans was one of the Huguenots (Protestant) centers. Listed in the last line of the city, apparently, particularly affected during this religious war.

Quatrain 1.52 Henry III
Les deux malins de Scorpion conioints,
Le grand Seigneur meurtry dedans sa salle,
Peste а l’Eglise par le nouueau Roy ioints,
L’Europe basse & Septentrioanle.
Two evil influences in conjunction in Scorpion.
The great lord is murdered in his room.
A newly appointed king persecutes the Church,
the lower (parts of) Europe and in the North.
The 1 line. After the assassination of Guise brothers, the king lost the support of the Catholics of the country, but he acquired the sympathy of Henry of Navarre. Paris and considerable part of France were captured by the Catholic League. To fight with it, Henry III needed a strong ally. In the castle of Plessis-le-Tour on April 30, 1589 the two kings entered into an alliance to fight together against the League. In July they besieged the capital.
The 2 line. Presumably, the sister of the murdered d’Guise, the Duchess of Montpache, persuaded the fanatical monk Jacques Clement to kill the king. On August 1, 1589 this monk came to Henry III, under the pretext of a secret report from Paris. He hit the king with a poisoned knife. Clement was killed immediately at the crime scene. The king before his death declared Henry of Navarre Bourbon his heir, since there were no heirs in the Angouleme branch of Valois.
The 3 line. The Catholic League refused to recognize such a heir to the throne. Henry IV began the struggle for the throne. Catholics demanded him to adopt Catholicism but he refused. Over the past nine years, Henry had already made apostasy three times. Because of his inconstancy in faith, he lost the confidence of his allies – Protestant and Catholics, too. He explained his apostasy by the phrase, which became winged: «Paris is worth of mess.»
The 4 line. This line can be understood as the reconciliation of France and Spain or as the expansion and unification of France due to the addition of the feudal estates of Henry IV. In 1595 Henry IV declared war to Spain which resulted in signing of the Vervince peace treaty in 1598. After several decades of wars in France, peace came.
Linkage with other quatrains: 1.35, 6.63, 10.55.

Quatrain 6.11 The seven branches
Des sept rameaux a trois seront reduits,
Les plus aisnez seront surprins par mort.
Fratricider les deux seront seduits,
Les coniurez en dormant seront morts. F iiij
The seven branches will be reduced to three,
The elder ones will be surprised by death,
The two will be seduced to fratricide,
The conspirators will be dead while sleeping.
Probably this is a prophecy about the children of the French King Henry II and Catherine de Medici. They had 10 children. However, one daughter was stillborn, and the son of Louis and daughter Victoria died in infancy.
The 1 line. Seven children lived up to the adult age. The eldest son Francis II, suddenly became ill, died at the age of 16, leaving no offspring. The eldest daughter, Elizabeth, the Queen of Spain died in childbirth the age of 24. The second daughter, Claude, lame and hunchbacked, died at the age of 27, also in childbirth In 1574. Charles IX died at the age of 23 . There is an assumption that he was poisoned by one of the brothers.
The three branches are Margarita, who outlived all the brothers and sisters; Francois of Alençon, the only brother who never became a king, and Henry III, the last king of the Valois dynasty. None of the sons of Henry II had not heirs, and the Bourbons came to replace Valois. However, the genealogy continued with descendants from the daughters Elizabeth and Claude.
The 3 line. Perhaps Francois of Alençon and Henry III, who ordered the murder of Henry d’Guise.
The 4 line. Bartholomew’s night can be assumed, although during the reign of the Valois brothers there were many conspiracies, and they were disclosed.
Decoding of the number 6.11. 600-11=589. If 1 to put in front we will get 1589 – the year of end Valois branch.
Quatrain 9.21 King killing
Au temple haut de Bloys sacre Salonne,

Cuiseur victoire aux marests de la Lone,
D’où prelature de blancs abormeant.
At the tall temple of Saint-Solenne at Blois,
Night Loire bridge, Prelate, King killing outright:
Crushing victory in the marshes of the pond,
Whence prelacy of whites miscarrying.
In May 1588, the people of Paris rebelled against the king. He had to leave the capital and move to the castle of Blois, which was on the banks of the Loire. Henry Guise triumphantly occupied Paris. The people welcomed him as a king. He was almost at the throne. «Villain king.» The power of Henry III was hung by a hair and it was necessary to take drastic measures. The king summoned the Sejm and invited Guise to to take part in it. On December 23, 1588 Henry d’Guise arrived at the meeting of the states. In the so-called «black room» the King’s guards attacked him. With a few dagger blows they killed Guise and his guards. The next day, the brother of Henry of Guise – Louis, Cardinal of Lorraine was also captured and killed. After that the Guises lost their former power. The king entered into an alliance with the Protestant Henry of Navarre. The Catholics of France turned away from Henry III.
Decoding of the number 9.21. If 9 to flip in 6, 1 to put in front, then 1600-12=1588 – the year of murder.
Quatrain 9.57 Charles de Bourbon (cardinal)
Au lieu de Drvx vn Roy reposera,

In the place of ‘Drux’ a King will rest,
And will look for a law changing Anathema:
While the sky will thunder so very loudly,
New entry the King will kill himself.
Dreux fr. – the city is 74 km from Paris. 1 line. A King, apparently, is Henry of Navarre, who fought for the throne of France.
The 2 line. The Pope excommunicated him from the church for not accepting Catholicism. Apparently, he was thinking about how to take off that anathema. In 1593 he was forced to accept Catholicism for the sake of the throne. The Pope gave him absolution.
The 4 line. After the death of Henry III the Catholic League captured Paris for 5 years. It chose the elderly Cardinal Charles de Bourbon as its king, who died 9 May 1590. Before his death, the cardinal recognized Henry as the rightful king. After his death Henry of Navarre remained the only contender for the throne of France.
Decoding of number 9.57. If 7 to consider as 700, then 700-95=605, 6 to flip in 9, the numbers to rearrange (590), 1 to put in front, we get 1590 – year, 5 – month, 9 – day of the cardinal’s death (full date).

Le ieune crainte & frayeur Barbaris.
Mendosus will soon come to his high realm,
Putting behind a little the Lorrainers:
The pale red one, the male in the interregnum,
The fearful youth and Barbaric terror.
As in the previous quatrain 9.45, Nostradamus calls Henry IV a Mendozus here. In 1589 he defeated Karl of Lorraine in the battle of Arques-la-Bataille. Many influential people of France joined him, as well as a significant part of the nobility from Picardy, Ile-de-France, Champagne. He did not allow his soldiers to cause any damage to the population of the conquered territories. The cities whose citizens knew about it did not resist him. «Interregnum» period – during 5 years after the death of Henry III and coronation of Henry IV France had no official king.
In March 1590, Henry IV won a new victory at Ivry-la-Bataille. With his heroic example, he stopped the fleeing soldiers.
After this battle he besieged Paris. When the capital and other cities went over to his side, he did not get rid of the Catholic League leaders, but bribed them.

Decoding of the number 9.50. If 1 to put in front, then by swapping 95 we get 1590 – the year of victory over League.
Quatrain 9.45[2] Henry IV
Ne sera soul iamais de demander,
Grand Mendosvs obtiendra son empire:
Loing de la court fera contremander,
Piedmont, Picart, Paris Tyrhen le pire.
Never soul will not stop to demand,
Great ‘Mendosus’ will obtain his empire:
Far from the court he will cause to be countermanded
Piedmont, Picardy, Paris, Tuscany the worst.
Henry IV of Navarre, Bourbon (1553-1610) was a king of France from 1589, crowned in 1594.
Lines 1-2. Despite the fact that Henry III before his death declared Henry Navarre as his heir only after 5 years of hard struggle he was able to become a king. Several times Henry IV adopted Catholicism then Protestantism. Because of this, he lost the trust and support of both. This weakened his army. Nevertheless, part of the nobility supported him. He was brave and successful in the war and eventually became the king of France.
He managed to defeat the League. The cities listed in the 4th line went to his side.
Nostradamus calls him vicious, ugly, perhaps because of his apostasy. He was even more unstable in relations with women.
Unlike other kings, Henry IV was crowned not in Reims, but in Chartres Cathedral on February 27, 1594. In March of 1594 he finally took Paris. He received indulgence from the Pope Clement VIII. This helped him to reconcile with the Catholic population of the country.
This king was killed in Paris, in his carriage, on May 14, 1610 by the Catholic fanatic Francois Ravallac. Jumping on the carriage-step he gave him a fatal blow. The day before, Henry crowned his wife Maria Medici. There is an opinion that it she plotted his murder in order to rule.
It’s interesting that three Henrys: II, III and IV in succession were killed. Henry II – in the tournament, Henry III and IV – by the religious fanatics. Henry of Guise, who claimed the crown, was also killed. Since that time there has been no Henrys on the French throne.
Linkage with other quatrains: 1.52, 9.50.
Decoding of the number 9.45. If 1 and 5 are put at the ahead, then we get 1594 – the year of beginning of reign.

To Ogmios will be left the realm
Of the great ‘Selin,’ who will in fact do more:
Throughout Italy will he extend his banner,
He will be ruled by a prudent deformed one.
Ogmios, probably Henry IV, who became king of France on 27 February 1594. The Great Celine – Henry II. After him three sons ruled, but not one of them became great. Only Henry IV managed to defeat the Catholic League, expand the borders of the country, stop wars both external and internal.
3 line about the king’s marriage with the Italian Maria Medici, who gave birth to an heir and extended the Bourbon clan.
Decoding of the number 6.42. If 6 and 2 to flip in 9 and 5 (945), 1 to put in front, then rearranging the numbers will be 1594 – the year of coronation.
Quatrain 5.6 Pacific emperor
Au Roy l’augure sus le chef la main mettre

De Roy viendra Empereur pacifique.
The Augur putting his hand upon the head of the King
Will come to pray for the peace of Italy:
He will come to move the scepter to his left hand,
From King he will become pacific Emperor.
Presumably, like the two previous quatrains, this one is about Henry IV.
The 1 line. In 1564 Nostradamus was invited by Catherine de Medici to the castle of l’Emperi. Valveran painting is in the castle museum. It depicts the queen, Charles IX and the prophet with a book in one hand. His other hand rests on the head of the boy, Prince of Navarre. In this line he predicted him to be the king of France, which came true.
The 2 line. For a long time Henry IV did not have an heir. Then he married Maria Medici, the representative of the richest Italian family. She gave birth to a long-awaited son, the future King Louis XIII.
The 3 line. The left hand of the king are those who help him rule with country. Henry managed to surround himself with capable ministers and advisers. With their help, the country was enriched, its territory expanded. France became an empire – its colonies in Canada successfully developed.
The 4 line. During Henry’s IV reign, religious civil wars ceased in France, and the long-awaited peace came.
Linkage with other quatrains: 9.50, 9.45, 1.52.
Probable decoding of number 5.6. If 5 flip in 2, 2-1=1, 00 is put at the end, we will get 1600 – the year of wedding.

Que vers main gauche sera plus grand (afflict.
The Gods will make it appear to mankind
that they are the authors of a great war.
In the previously clear sky, sword and spear,
That towards the left hand will be greater (afflict.
Probably, this is a prediction about the death of king Henry IV of France on 14.05.1610. He was a brave warrior, one of the few kings who went into battle with soldiers and inspired them to victory with their heroism. Not long before his assassination, many witnessed an amazing sight: an army was marching in the sky. This king gave peace to the country. For many French people, his death was a great sorrow.
Related to quatrain 5.6 by the phrase main gauche.
Decoding the number 1.91. If you turn 9 over to 6 and put 0 at the end, you get 1610 – the year of Henry IV’s death.
Quatrain 9.36[2] Murder of Henry IV
Vn grand Roy prins entre les mains d’vn ieune

Perpet. cattif temps! que foudre en la hune
Trois freres lors se blesseront, & murtre.
A great King taken by the hands of a young man,
Not far from Easter confusion knife thrust:
Everlasting captive times what lightning on the top,
When three brothers will wound each other and murder.
Henry IV was killed on May 14, 1610 (not far from Easter) at the age of 53. His murderer François Ravaglac was of 32 (taken by the hands of a young man). The king was riding along the street in a carriage and got into a «traffic jam» (confusion). Ravaglio jumped on the footboard and gave him several fatal blows with a knife.
The three brothers – three Henrys: Henry III, Henry of Guise and Henry IV were all killed. There was a «war of three Henrys» between them for the French throne.
Linkage with other quatrains: 1.36, 1.52.
Probable decoding of number 9.36. If 3 to consider as 3000 and flip 6 in 9, then 3000-99=2901. 2-1=1, flip 9 in 6, by swapping 1 and 0 we will get 1610 – the year of murder.
Quatrain 8.68 Cardinal Richelieu
Vieux Cardinal par le ieune deceu,
Hors de sa charge se verra desarme,
Arles ne monstres double soit aperceu,
Et Liqueduct & le Prince embaume.
The old Cardinal is deceived by the young one,
he will find himself disarmed, out of his position:
Do not show, Arles, that the double is perceived,
both Liqueduct and the Prince embalmed.
Arman de Richelieu (1585-1642) was a Cardinal from 1622 and Prime Minister of France from 1624. In 1642 his protege Saint-Mar organized a conspiracy against the Cardinal. However, Louis XIII did not support the conspirators and took the side of Richelieu.
The last two lines were interpreted as the king’s death in 1643 and cardinal’s death in 1642.
«Embalmed» is also translated as fragrant, and «Liqueduct» is a liquid (rotting). These two lines can be interpreted as the birth of twins from Anne of Austria. One of them became king (embalmed), the other rotted in a mask in prison.
Probable decoding of number 8.68. If 6 to consider as 6000, 6000-88=5912, flip 2 in 5, 9-1=8, we get 1585 – the year of birth.
Quatrain 1.95 Foundling
Deuant monstier trouue enfant besson
D’heroicq sang de moyne vestutisque,
Son bruit par secte, langue & puissance son,
Qu’on dira soit efleue le Vopisque, Celuy.
In front of a monastery will be found a twin infant
from the illustrious and ancient line of a monk.
His fame, renown and power through sects and speech
is such that they will say the living twin is deservedly chosen.
In this prophecy Nostradamus revealed the secret of the birth of Louis XIV. The child found at the monastery was probably the twin of Louis XIV, born on 05.09.1638. Louis XIII is officially considered his father, but he could not have children. Probably the monk, the father of the foundling, is cardinal Mazarin. He was a favorite of queen Anne of Austria.
One of the twins became the great king of France. During his reign, the country reached the peak of its power. The other twin is known as the man in mask. He lived in various prisons for many years and died in the Bastille in 1703. He was buried with an Italian surname «Marchioly».
Decoding of the number 1.95. If 1 to consider as 1000, to overturn 95 in 62, then 1000-62=938. 9 to overturn in 6 and 1 to put in front, it will be 1638 – year, 9 – month, 5 – day of born twins.
Quatrain 10.58[2] Battle of Rocroi
A temps du dueil que le felin monarque,

Tenter Phossens au Ponant entretien.
In the time of mourning the feline monarch
Will make war upon the young Macedonian:
Gaul to shake, the bark to be in jeopardy,
Marseilles to be tried in the West a talk.
On May 14, 1643, King Louis XIII died. Little Louis XIV could not rule the country. Taking advantage of the situation, the vice-king of the Spanish Army attacked the French city of Rocroi on May 15. In this battle the Spanish Army suffered a crushing defeat.
The 3 line about uprising of common people and wars of the Fronde. Bark is a Catholic church, whose foundations were shaken by a new religious trend – Jansenism.
The last line, perhaps, is about trying to make peace with Spain.
Probable decoding of number 10.58. If 1000-58=942 and to flip 9 in 6, 2+1=3, then we get 643 – the year of battle.
Quatrain 4.93 Louis XIV
Vn serpent veu proche du lit Royal,
Sera par dame, nuict chiens n’abbayeront:
Lors naistre en France vn Prince tant Royal
Du Ciel venu tous les princes verront.
A serpent seen near the royal bed,
It will be by the lady at night the dogs will not bark:
Then to be born in France a Prince so royal,
Come from heaven all the princes will see him.
Louis XIV of Bourbon (1638-1715) was a king of France from 1643, known as Great. He reigned longer than any European monarch – 72 years. He was a supporter of the divine right of kings and said, «France is me.» During his reign, France reached its highest peak, power, political, military and cultural influence throughout Europe. His reign went down in history as the Great Age.
Lines 1, 2. Perhaps they are about the infidelity of Anne of Austria to King Louis XIII. Their marriage was infertile for 22 years. After the death of the king, doctors stated that he could not have children. The appearance of the heir was perceived as a miracle.
«Dogs will not bark» can be assumed as the secret of paternity will not be disclosed. Although the people sang songs about Richelieu and Mazarini, it is still not clear who was the father of Louis XIV. Apparently, everyone understood the situation, but the country needed a heir, so no scandal followed. Louis XIV was recognized as a legitimate heir, and it was suitable for everyone.
«Come from heaven,» perhaps, means the name given at birth – the God-given.
Linkage with other quatrains: 10.101, 10.7, 5.38.
Probable decoding of number 4.93. If 4 and 9 to swap and to flip 9 in 6, 1 to put in front, then we will get 1643 – the year of beginning the reign.
Quatrain 3.45 Rebellion of 1632
Les cinq estrangers entrez dedans le temple
Leur sang viendra la terre prophaner;
Aux Thoulouseins sera bien dure exemple
D’vn qui viendra les loix exterminer.
The five strangers entered in the temple,
Their blood will come to pollute the land:
To the Toulousans it will be a very hard example
Of one who will come to exterminate their laws.
Perhaps the Languedoc rebellion of 1632 was predicted here. King’s brother Gaston of Orleans and Henri II de Montmorency tried to overthrow Cardinal Richelieu, who had almost all power. Montmorency claimed the position of constable, historically belonging to his family, but did not receive it. The rebellion was easily crushed by the royal troops. Henri Montmorency, representative of the most noble family of France, was sentenced to death by a Toulouse court. This execution shocked not only the inhabitants of Toulouse, but all the nobles of the country.
Linkage with other quatrains: 9.18.
Decoding of number 3.45. The numbers rearrange – 435. If 4 to consider as 400, then 400-35=365. Turn 5 in 2, rearange – 632, 1 put in front we get 1632 – the year of execution.
Quatrain 9.18 Montmorency
Le lys Dauffois portera dans Nansi,
Iusques en Flandres Electeur de l’Empire,
Neufue obturée au grand Montmorency,
Hors lieux prouez deliure à clere peyne.
The lily of the Dauphin will reach into Nancy,
As far as Flanders the Elector of the Empire:
New confinement for the great Montmorency,
Outside proven places delivered to celebrated punishment.
A. Lepeliete gave the following decoding of this prophecy: “Louis XIII (the first French king who wore the title of Dauphin) will enter Nancy in 1633 to protect Elector Trier captived by the Spaniards. Around the same time (in 1632), the great Montmorency was accused of rebellion against his monarch and imprisoned in Toulouse. Then he will be betrayed to a soldier whose last name is Clerpan, and he will behead him in the courtyard of the prison, but not at the usual place of execution.»
The last name Clerpan A. Lepeliete found in the last words of quatrain – clere peyne.
Decoding of the number 9.18. If 9 to turn over into 6, 1 to consider as 1000, then 1000-68=932. 1 put first, 9 turn over into 6, will be 1632 – the year of execution.
Quatrain 9.93[2] Defeat of the Fronde
Les ennemis du fort bien esloignez,
Par chariots conduict le bastion,
Par sur les murs de Bourges esgrongnez
Quand Hercules battra l’Haemathion.
The enemies very far from the fort,
The bastion brought by wagons:
Above the walls of Bourges crumbled,
When Haemathion beats Hercules.
In 1653, the Great Tower collapsed – one of the fortifications in Bourges. In that year, the city that was on the side of the Fronde, passed into the power of the king.
The 4 line. Haemathion Is Louis XIV. Hercules is the prince Conde the Great of Bourbon, who headed the Fronde of the princes. His goal was to overthrow Mazarin.
In 1653 Turenne defeated Conde, who fled to Spain. The wars of the Fronde ended with the victory of the royal troops.
Decoding of the number 9.93. 99 flip in 66, 6-1=5 we get 653 – the year defeat of Fronde.
Quatrain 10.101[1] Heir of toads
Quâd le fourchu sera soustenu de deux paux,
Auec six demy cors, & six sizeaux ouuers:
Le trespuissât Seigneur, heritier des crapaux,
Alors subjuguera, sous soy tout l’vniuers.
When the fork will be supported by two stakes,
With six half-bodies and six open scissors:
The very powerful Lord, heir of the toads,
Then he will subject the entire world to himself.
It is predicted that in 1660 Aemafion, whom Nostradamus called the mighty Lord, heir to toads, will say, «I will subordinate everything to myself!». The first 2 lines of the quatrain, known from 1605, represent the Latin writing of the date 1660 (MSSSSSXXXXXX). Y strengthen plug by two straight supports and get the date M (= 1000); Six crescents are six C (= 600); 6 open scissors are six X (= 60).
Louis XIV was one of the most powerful kings and ruled longer than others. With him, France reached its highest peak in science, art, commerce, industry. Her army was the strongest at that time. The luxury of the Versailles court was the envy and admiration of the rulers of the whole world.
It was impossible not to include in the book this remarkable transcript, which I found on the Internet. My contribution here is to decipher the number.
Linkage with other quatrains: 10.7.
Probable decoding of number 10.101. 101-1=100. If 100 to consider as 1000-10=990 and to flip 99 in 66, then we get 660.
Quatrain 10.7 1660 year
Le grand conflit qu’on appreste à Nancy,
L’Aemathien dira tout ie soubmets,
L’Isle Britanne par vin, sel en solcy,
Hem. mi. deux Phi. long temps ne tiendra Mets.
The great conflict that they are preparing at Nancy,
The Aemathien will say I subjugate all,
The British Isle problems over wine and salt,
Hem. mi. two Phi. Metz will not be held for long.
In 1660, the capital of Lorraine, the city of Nancy, was taken.
The second line is about Louis XIV. It echoes with the fourth line of the quatrain 10.101: «I subjugate all».
The third line speaks about the English Revolution and the execution of King Charles I. This line is consonant with the 3 and 4 lines of quatrain 9.49: «Salt and wine will not go to him for future use». In 1660, the royal power of Stuart was restored in England by Charles II. The emergence of bubonic plague areas in England.
Linkage with other quatrains: 10.101.
Probable decoding of number 10.7. 700-10=690. If 1 to put at the ahead and to flip 9 in 6, then we get 1660 year.
Quatrain 4.87 The replacement of twin
Vn fils du Roy tant de langues aprins /appris/
A son aisné /ainé/ au regne different,
Son pere beau au plus beau filz /fils/ comprins,
Fera perir principe adherent.
One King’s son learned many languages,
Different from his senior in the realm:
His father-in-low understood which son is greater,
He will destroy his principal adherent.
Like quatrain 4.86, this one is about Louis XIV and his twin brother. The older twin, who lived in the palace, lagged behind peers in learning, was poorly educated, barely learned to read. From the prophecy it follows that the second twin surpassed his brother in learning languages.
The twins mother, Anna of Austria, was the sister of the king of Spain. She maintained correspondence with her regal Spanish relatives. They probably knew there was a twin.
The Spanish king was the father-in-low of Louis XIV. He married his daughter in June 1660.
According to Voltaire, the king was replaced after the death of Mazarin on 9 March 1661. The next day the king, who had not given special hopes before, suddenly announced that he would rule alone, without the first minister. According to Alexander Dumas, the replacement of the twin was associated with marriage.
Decoding of the number 4.87. If you rearrange the numbers – 784, consider 7 as 700, then 700-84 = 616. Rearranging the numbers – 166 and putting 1 at the end, we get 1661.
Quatrain 8.4 Mazarin
Dedans Monech le coq sera receu,
Le Cardinal de France apparoistra
Par Logarion Romain sera deceu,
Foiblesse a l’Aigle, & force au Coq naistra.
The cock will be received into Monaco,
the Cardinal of France will appear;
He will be deceived by the Roman legation;
weakness to the eagle, strength will be born to the cock.
Mazarin (1602-1661) was a Cardinal and the first Minister of France from 1653.
The 1 line. The marriage of a niece and the representative of the Grimaldi ruling dynasty connects Cardinal with Monaco. There is a Mazarin hall in the palace in the decoration of which he took part.
Mazarin left Paris during the war with the Fronde. After the victory, he returned with a triumph in 1653. In fact, he ruled the country with a young Louis XIV.
The 4 line. This line speaks about the strengthening of France and the weakening of the Habsburgs.
Probable decoding of number 8.4. 400-8=392, if 3 to put in end, to flip 92 in 65, then we get 653 year.
Quatrain 9.84 Secret of origin
Roy exposé parfaira l’hecatombe,
Apres auoir trouué /trouve/ son origine,
Torrent ouurir de marbre & plomb la tombe
D’vn grand Romain d’enseigne Medusine.
The King exposed will complete the slaughter,
After having discovered his origin.
Torrent to open the tomb of marble and lead,
Of a great Roman with sign of Medusine.
The 1-2 lines are associated with quatrain 1.95 with the french word trouve – a foundling, who became king Louis XIV. Here says that he was the son of a priest, but not of a king. If 9 to flip into 6 in the number, then 684 or 683 may be the year when the secret of paternity was revealed. Louis XIV’s theory of the divine right of kings given to them at birth fell apart like a house of cards. In 1683 the prime minister Colbert and the first wife of the king, Maria Theresa died. Maybe one of them revealed a secret?
In 1684, by order of the king, the port of Genoa was heavily bombarded by the french fleet. In 1689 the Palatinate was devastated for the second time (first – in 1674). On this territory, villages and cities, even churches, were burned, the population was completely destroyed.
The last 2 lines could not be decrypted. Sign of Medusa-Gargon was on the banners of the 2nd Roman triumvirate: Augustus, Anthony, Lipid.
Quatrain 9.38 Suppression of Huguenots
L’entree de Blaye par Rochelle & l’Anglois,
Passera outre le grand Aemathien,
Non loing d’Agen attendra le Gaulois,
Secours Narbonne deceu par entretien.
The entry at Blaye for La Rochelle and the English,
The great Macedonian will pass beyond:
Not far from Agen will wait the Gaul,
Narbonne help beguiled through conversation.
The city of Bly is located on the banks of the Gironde which has access to the Bay of Biscay. In 1689 a fortress was built to protect against Protestant supported by the British. La Rochelle was a port on the shore of the Bay of Biscay and a stronghold of Huguenots. In 1628 this fortress was taken by the army of Louis XIII despite the support of the Huguenots by 80 British ships. In 1685 Louis XIV abolished the Nantes edict, which gave Protestant freedom of religion. This led to a mass migration of Huguenots. In 1689 the Huguenots who fled from France formed the city of Nouvelle Rochelle (New Rochelle) in the North America.
In 1702 an uprising of peasant protestant broke out in the south of France. It was headed by Jean Cavalier. In 1704 he entered into negotiations with Marshal Villars. Having believed in the promises, he betrayed his movement and took the king’s side. This is predicted in the last line. All the cities listed in the quatrain are in the south of France, where the Protestant movement lasted the longest.
Probable decoding of number 9.38. If 8 to consider as 8000, 8000-39=7961, 7+1=8, then replace these numbers we get 1689 – the year when fortress was built.
Quatrain 5.97 The captive will suffocate
Le nay difforme par horreur suffoque,
Dans la cite du grand Roy habitable:
L’edit seuere des captifs reuoque,
Gresle & tonnerre Coudom inestimable.
The one born deformed suffocated in horror,
In the city where of the great King habitable:
The severe edict of the captives revoked,
Hail and thunder, Condom inestimable.
The great king is Louis XIV, who lived in Paris. The Bastille Prison is in the same city. There, the twin brother of the king died in 1703. He spent 34 years in prisons. To hide the resemblance, a mask covered his face always. There is a version that he suffocated. The king personally controlled this prisoner, paid a lot of money for his maintenance and secrecy. The masked man was kept in strict isolation and secrecy. He had only one jailer Saint-Mar always. They had moves together from one prison to another. After the death of a masked man, all his belongings were burned.
Decoding of the number 5.97. If 5 to flip into 2, to rearrange the numbers – 729, 729+1=730, rearrange 30 – 03, 1 to put in front, then we get 1703 – year of the twin’s death.
Quatrain 8.5 Death of Louis XIV
Apparoistra temple luisant orne,
La lampe & cierge a Borne & Bretueil,
Pour la Lucerne le canton destorne,
Quand on verra le grand Coq au cercueil.
There will appear a shining ornate temple,
the lamp and the candle at Borne and Breteuil.
For the canton of Lucerne turned aside,
when one will see the great cock in his shroud.
Presumably, the first line is about the magnificent palace of Versailles, built by the initiative of Louis XIV.
Borne is a small town in the Netherlands, Breteuil is a town in Normandy, Lucerne is a large city in Switzerland, Canton is an administrative district of France.
The 4th line is about the death of the great king of France Louis XIV.
Linkage with other quatrains: 4.93.
Probable decoding of number 8.5. 80-5=75, if 1 tk put between 75, then we get 715 – year of death.
Quatrain 3.15 The realm will change
C?ur, vigueur, gloire, le regne changera,
De tous points, contre ayant son aduersaire:
Lors France enfance par mort subiugera,
Le grand regent sera lors plus cдрузьями.
The realm will change in heart, vigor and glory,
In all points having its adversary opposed:
Then through death France an infancy will subjugate,
A great Regent will then be more contrary.
Quatrain number 15, so it is likely that the prophecy about Louis XV, who became king at the age of five in 1715, when his great great-grandfather died. This corresponds to the 3rd line.
The heart, vigor and glory characterize the reign of Louis XIV. Under him, France flourished and reached the peak of its power. After his death, everything changed for the worse. The regent and then king paid little attention to the affairs of state.
4 line. Philip of Orleans became regent under the infant king. His policy was the opposite of that of Louis XIV, who fought against England and was friends with Spain. Philip made an alliance with England and began a war with Spain. He was guided not by the interests of the country, but by his personal interests, that led to the economic crisis.
Connection with other quatrains: 6.71, 8.5, 5.49.
Possible decoding of number 3.15. If 1 to put in front and to consider as 10, then 10-3=7, we get 715 – the year of king change.
Quatrain 6.71 Cross crown sold
Quand on viendra le grand Roy parenter,
Auant qu’il ait du tout l’ame rendue:
An le verra bien tost apparenter
D’Aigles, Lions, Croix, Couronne vendue.
When they will come to give the last rites to the great King
Before he has entirely given up the ghost:
He who will come to grieve over him the least,
Through Lions, Eagles, cross crown sold.
The 1-2 lines. In 1715 surrounded by close ones, the great king of France, Louis XIV, was dying.
The 3 line. All of his many heirs died out, only a 4-year-old great-grandson remained. Due to the lack of adult heirs, the king recognized the two sons of madame de Montespan, the Duke of Maensky and Count of Toulouse, as legal heirs.
The 4 line. Contrary to his will, his nephew Philip of Orleans was appointed regent under the minor Louis XV. He entered into a union with the eternal enemies of France, Protestant England (lions on the coat of arms) and the Holy Roman Empire (eagle on the coat of arms). It was a kind of betrayal of the cross, i.e. the Catholic faith, and the crown, i.e. interests of the country.
Decoding of the number 6.71. 6-1=5 (571). Rearrangement of numbers gives 715 – the year of death.
Quatrain 5.49 Philippe of Orleans
Nul de l’Espagne mais de l’antique France,
Ne sera esleu pour le tremblant nacelle:
A l’ennemy sera faicte fiance,
Qui dans son regne sera peste cruelle.
Not from Spain but from ancient France
Will one be elected for the trembling bark,
To the enemy will a promise be made,
He who will cause a cruel plague in his realm.
The trembling bark: the great Louis XIV died in 1715, leaving the most powerful country in Europe without a ruler. His numerous heirs were extinct, and only a young grandson, the future Louis XV, remained.
The 1 line. Besides a five-year-old grandson, an adult grandson, Philip V – the King of Spain was live. As per the conditions of the Utrecht peace he renounced the claims to the French throne. Due to the lack of adult heirs Philip decided to break the treaty condition to unite the two great powers under one crown. All the major countries of Europe were against such enhancement of France and Spain, therefore the Spanish king started the war without allies and lost.
The 3 line. Philippe of Orleans, the nephew of Louis XIV became the regent of the heir. It was in France’s interest to unite with Spain, however, the regent was not concerned with the interests of the country. Planning to become a king himself, he united with the enemies of France against its ally – Spain. During his regency, the country began to decline rapidly. The fall of morals was in his time.
The 4 line. In 1720 a severe plague epidemic broke out in Marseilles and several other cities in the south of the country.

Probable decoding of number 5.49. If 5 flip in 2 and consider as 2000, 2000-49=1951 and flip 9 in 6, 6+1=7 we will get 1715 – the year of regency.
Quatrain 6.18[2] King survived
Par les phisiques le grand Roy delaisse,
Par sort non art ne l’Ebrieu est en vie:
Luy & son genre au regne haut pousse,
Grace donne a gent qui Christ enuie.
The great King abandoned by the physicians,
By fate not the Jew’s art he remains alive,
He and his kindred pushed high in the realm,
Pardon given to the race which denies Christ.
The 2nd line. Despite the fact that Louis XIV had many heirs, they all died of measles. Great-grandson, Louis XV was his only heir, whom the house mistress saved at the age of two, hiding him from the doctors.
The 4th line. Baron Franz Tott (1733-1797), who knew the Turkish language, was the King’s envoy to Turkey since 1769. He rendered important services for the Ottoman Empire in carrying out military reforms and modernizing the army.
Linkage with other quatrains: 5.38.

Quatrain 7.44[3] Bourbon
Alors qu’un bour fera fort bon,
Portant en soy les marques de justice,
De son sang lors portant son nomпаре
Par fuite injuste receura son supplice.
When the Bour is very kind («Bon»),
Bearing the marks of justice,
Of his blood bearing then a long name,
Because of the escape he will be punished unfairly.
This quatrain was first published in 1605. In the first line, the addition of the words Bour and Bon (kind) gives Bourbon – the surname of the dynasty of French kings. Of these Louis XVI (1754-1793) was kind. He became a victim of the French revolution. The second line is probably about the Convention’s trial of this king in 1792. The third line is about the name Louis, which was passed on to heirs (by blood) with the next number for 1000 years. The fourth line is about the unsuccessful escape of the Royal couple, which caused the execution of Louis XVI in 1793.
A. Lepeletier deciphered this quatrain.

Decoding of number 7.44. If to the first 4 add 1, It will be 754 – the year of king’s birthday.
Quatrain 5.38[1] Louis XV
Ce grand monarque qu’au mort succedera,
Donnera vie illicite & lubrique:
Par nonchalance à tous concedera,
Qu’a la parfin faudra la loy Salique.
He who will succeed the great monarch on his death
Will lead an illicit and wanton life:
Through nonchalance he will give way to all,
So that in the end the Salic law will fail.
Louis XV (1710-1774) was the king of France from 1715, the great grandson of the great monarch Louis XIV, who happened to be his only heir at the age of five. He received the official nickname “beloved”, for his excessive interest in favourites.
The 2nd line. The king was famous for his depravity, had a whole harem of mistresses and minions, whom he often changed. He died of smallpox, having caught the infection from one of them.
He did not deal with the affairs of the country. In fact, Cardinal Fleury, and after him the favourites, Marquise de Pompadour and Du Barry ruled the country. In pursuit of luxury, they ravaged the country. France was in distress. Its former power was gone. She lost her main colonies: Canada and India. They became English colonies. Louis did not care much about the people’s discontent. He believed, «The monarchy will last as long as we are alive, after us even the flood.» The last part of the expression became «winged».
The 4th line. Salic truth is a document compiled at the end of the 5th century, which regulated the judicial system, contained a list of crimes and corresponding penalties. Louis carried out unpopular and unsuccessful judicial reforms, which neither the parliament nor lawyers wanted to obey.
Linkage with other quatrains: 4.93, 10.7
Probable decoding of number 5.38. If 1 to put before 8 and to consider as 1800, then 1800-53=1747, 47 swap 74 we get 1774 – the year of death.
Quatrain 1.5 French Revolution
Chassez seront sans faire long combat,
Par le pays seront plus fort greuez:
Bourg & Citй auront plus grand debat
Carcas, Narbonne, auront cњurs esprouvez,
They will be driven away for a long drawn out fight.
The countryside will be most grievously troubled.
Town and country will have greater struggle.
Carcassonne and Narbonne will have their hearts tried.
This fifth quatrain is the third prediction of the prophet and it is probably about the Great French Revolution. Despite the fact that he was a Frenchman, his first two predictions were about the Russian Revolution, and only the third – about the French Revolution of 1789. It can be assumed that he attached greater importance to the Russian Revolution than to the French Revolution. The phrases about the expulsion and oppression of wealthy people imply that this quatrain is about revolution. Indication of the French cities Carcassonne and Narbonne implies that this is about the revolution in France.

Probable decoding of number 1.5. If 1 to put in end, 1 to consider as 1000, 5 to flip in 2, then 1000-21=979. 979-1=978, by swapping these number we get 789 – the year of revolution.
Quatrain 1.14 The enslaved populace, songs
De gens esclaue, chansons, chants & requestes
Captifs par Princes & Seigneur aux prisons.
A l’aduenir par idiots sans testes,
Seront receus par diuins oraisons.
From the enslaved populace, songs, chants and demands,
while princes and Lords are held captive in prisons.
These will in the future by headless idiots
be received as divine prayers.
The seizure of the prison of Bastille on July 14 (number of quatrain), 1789 is considered to be the beginning of the French Revolution. The prisoners were released from prisons. The revolution led to the transition of the country from the monarchical system to the republican one, and the proclamation of the equality of all citizens under the motto «Freedom, equality, brotherhood». Not only the enemies of the French Revolution, but also many revolutionary leaders were decapitated on guillotine. «Marseillaise» written by Rouget de Lille, became the anthem of the Revolution all over the world.
Linkage with other quatrains: 1.5, 9.20.

Quatrain 9.20* Louis XVI
De nuict viendra par la forest de Reines,
Deux pars voltorte Herne la pierre blanche,
Le moine noir en gris dedans Varennes
Esleu cap. cause tempeste, feu, sang tranche. I iiij
By night will come through the forest of ‘Reines,
Two couples roundabout route Queen the white stone,
The monk king in gray in Varennes:
Elected Capet causes tempest, fire, blood, slice.
Louis XVI (1754-1793) was a king of France from 1774, grandson of Louis XV.
In the quatrain, an attempt to escape has been predicted. On the night of June 21, 1791, Louis and his family secretly left in a carriage with three bodyguards. This escape was organized by the Swedish Count Hans Axel. B Sainte-Mene postmaster Drouet recognized the king in the passing carriage. He rode after them. In Varenne, he struck the bell when he realized that the page boy was a disguised Louis. The crowd gathered. The fugitives returned to Paris under escort. The people met them in complete silence, people’s faith in the king was undermined.
Under the pressure of the revolutionary masses, Louis was forced to accept the constitution of 1791 and become a constitutional monarch. Then he began to oppose the revolution, seeking support abroad. Further events led to the fact that on September 21, 1792 the king was convicted by the Convention and guillotined: «blood, slice».
There is a saying: «history repeats itself.» The similarity of the characters and destinies of two emperors: Louis XVI and Nicholas II can serve as an example of such repeatability. Both are characterized as positive people, not spoiled by power and wealth. As weaknesses their susceptibility to the influence of stronger personalities was noted. The beginning of their rule was marked by tragic events. On the day of the coronation, both arranged a free treat to the people. Because of the crush many people died in the crowd. Both of these emperors were overthrown by the revolutions and executed, and members of their families also suffered.

Quatrain 6.23 The arrest of king
D’eƒprit de regne muniƒmes deƒcriez.
Et ƒeront peuples eƒmeus contre leur Roy,
Paix, fain¢t nouueau ƒain¢tes loix empirées,
Rapis onc fut en ƒi tres-dur arroy.
Coins depreciated by the spirit of the realm,
And people will be stirred up against their King:
New peace made, holy laws become worse,
Paris was never in so severe an array.
In the summer of 1792 the people rebelled against the king. One of the reasons was inflation – a large amount of paper money came into circulation. The rebels stormed Tuileries palace. The 10 August uprising was the 2nd revolution. Universal suffrage was proclaimed. The monarchy was deposed, the king was under house arrest. Many aristocrats, priests were arrested. The structure of power and laws has changed.
In line 4 the word Rapis is an anagram from the word Paris. Prussian troops invaded France and successfully attacked Paris.
Decoding of number 6.23. 600-32=568. 568-1=567. If 56 to flip in 29 (297), then earrangement of numbers give 792 – year of the king’s arrest.
Quatrain 4.4 The events of 1793
L’impotent prince fasche, plaines & querelles
De raps & pilles par coqs & par lybiques
Grand est par terre, par mer infinies voilles,
Seure Italie sera chassant Celtiques.
The impotent Prince angry, complaints and quarrels,
Rape and pillage, by cocks and Africans:
Great it is by land, by sea infinite sails,
Italy alone will be chasing Celtic.
The first two lines are probably about revolutionary unrest in France and the raids of Libyan pirates.
The third line about execution of Louis XVI in 1793. After this England expelled the French ambassador and blocked the French coast using its fleet.
In Italy there was a war between France and Austria in that year for control of the peninsula.
Probable decoding of number 4.4. 400-4=396. 6+1=7. By swapping these numbers we will get 793 – the year of execution.
Quatrain 5.37 The trial of Louis XVI
Trois cens seront d’vn vouloir & accord,

Vingt mois apres tous & records,
Leur Roy trahir simulant haine fainte.
Three hundred will be of one will & accord,
That to come to the end of their attack:
Twenty months after all & records,
Their king betray simulating feigned hatred.
1-2 lines. In the final vote over King Louis XVI of France, which ended at 2 a.m., 310 people voted for the immediate death penalty. He was beheaded on January 21, 1793.
Twenty months (after the escape) – this is June 1791, when the royal family tried to flee from the revolutionary France, but was arrested on the way. This undermined the authority of the king among the people and, in the future, led to his execution.
Linkage with other quatrains: 6.23, 9.20.
Decoding of number 5.37. If 5 to flip in 2, 1 to put in front and to consider as 1000, then 1000-237=763, turning 6 we get 793 – the year of the king’s execution.

Le trop bon temps, trop de bonte royale,
Faicts & deffaicts prompt, subit, negligence.
Leger croira faux d’espouse loyale.
Luy mis a mort par sa beneuolence.
Too much good times, too much of royal goodness,
Ones made and unmade, quick, sudden, neglectful:
Lightly will he believe falsely of his loyal wife,
He put to death through his benevolence.
Probably the first two lines are about character of Louis XVI. He was an honest, kind and decent, man but not resolute and subject to someone else’s influence.
For a long time he was impotent. This put his young wife in an awkward position, there were various gossips. Then the king made an operation, and his personal life get better.
The last line is about the execution of Louis XVI.

Quatrain 9.77 Maria Antoinette
Le regne prins le Roy conutera,
La dame prinse à mort iurez à sort,
La vie à Royne fils on desniera,
Et la pellix au fort de la consort.
The realm taken the King will conspire,
The lady taken to death ones sworn by lot:
They will refuse life to the Queen and son,
And the mistress at the fort of the wife.
This is a prophecy about the fate of the kingdom during the French Revolution.Apparently the second line is about the execution of Queen Maria Antoinette (1755 – 1793). She was the youngest daughter of Emperor Franz I and Maria Theresa. In 1770 she married Louis XVI. During the French Revolution, she was considered the main organizer of conspiracies against the revolution. She was given to the court of the Convention and sentenced to guillotine.
The third line refers to the early death of her son, the heir to the throne. After the execution of the king in 1793 he was recognized as the king of France by almost all monarchical countries, under the name of Louis XVII (1785-1795). He never reigned. After the execution of his parents, the boy remained in the hands of revolutionaries. Apparently, they tried to get rid of him. He died early, at the age of ten. Tuberculosis is considered to be the cause of his death. He was extremely exhausted from malnutrition, his body was covered with tumors and he was secretly buried in a common grave.

Quatrain 4.20 Massacre to royalists
Paix vbertré long temps Dieu loüera
Par tout son regne desert la fleur de lis,
Corps morts d’eau, terre là l’on apporter,
Sperant vain heur d’estre là enseuelis.
Peace and plenty for a long time the place will praise,
Throughout his realm the lily flower deserted:
Bodies dead by water, land one will bring there,
Vainly awaiting the good fortune to be buried there.
Perhaps the first two lines are about Louis XVIII. He skillfully confronted the reactionaries and supported a certain level of liberalism. During his reign there was a constitutional monarchy in the country. He reformed the army, lowered the level of censorship. In 1818 the armies of the 4-sided coalition left the territory of France. The period of his reign was relatively prosperous for France.
Presumably, the last 2 lines refer to the period of the French Revolution. The monarchists wanted to organize a counter-revolution in the province of Vendee in 1793. Jean-Baptiste Carrier, a member of the Convention and Western army commissar was sent to Nantes to suppress it. He was a supporter of savage reprisals for the royalists. Instead of mass executions Carrier organized drowning of people in the Loire delta. People were put on ships with damaged bottoms and sent to the last voyage. In the future, Carrier was executed.

Quatrain 3.46 Plancus’ city
Le Ciel (de Plancus la cite) nous presage
Par clairs insignes & par estoilles fixes,
Que de son change subit s’approche l’aage
Ne pour son bien ne pour les malefices.
The sky (of Plancus’ city) forebodes to us
Through clear signs and fixed stars,
That the age of its sudden change is approaching,
Neither for its good, nor for its evils.
The ancient Roman consul Lucius Plancus founded the city of Lyon.
Perhaps dramatic changes in Lyon in 1793 are predicted here. It was the time of the 1st French Revolution.
The age of its sudden change – a new calendar was introduced in France. A new century came in 7 years (was approaching).
In May the city rebelled against the Jacobins. Paris sent a revolutionary army that besieged Leon. After two months of defense, the city surrendered. Many residents were executed, all defensive fortifications destroyed.
The city began to recover only of the next age, when Napoleon came to power,.
Possible decoding of number 3.46. If the numbers to rearrange – 436, turn over 6 – 439, 4 to consider as 4000, then 4000-39=3961. 6+1=7. In the reverse order we get 1793.
Quatrain 1.12 Napoleon in Italy
Dans peu dira fauce brute fragile,
De bas en haut, efleue promptement,
Puis en intant desloayale & labile,
Qui de Veronne aura gouu(v)ernement.
There will soon be talk of a treacherous man,
quickly raised from low to high estate.
He will suddenly turn disloyal and volatile.
This man will govern Verona.
Napoleon I led the Italian campaign in 1796 – the first time at the head of the army. He was only 27 years old. He was thin, and in the paintings of that time he looked fragile.
The 2 line. Bonaparte made a very quick career: in 10 years he rose from junior lieutenant to army commander.
The 3-4 lines. The French army captured Verona in 1796, then in 1797 the city transferred to Austria, and in 1801 it was divided between France and Austria, in 1805 the whole city was transferred to France.
The uprising began in Verona in April 1797. Napoleon used this as an excuse for the capture of Venice and the proclamation of the Cisalpine Republic. Bonaparte used victories in Italy for wide propaganda through newspapers of his personal merits.
Connection with other quatrains: 5.5.
Decoding of the number 1.12. If 1 to consider as 1000, then 1000-21=979. Turn 9 over in 6 and rearrange the numbers, we get 796. Putting 1 in front of number, it will be 1796 – the year of a capture Verona.
Quatrain 5.33 Uprising in Vendée
Des principaux de cite rebelee
Qui tiendront fort pour liberte rauoir:
Detrencher masses infelice meslee,
Cris vrlemens a Nante; piteux voir.
Of the principal ones of the city in rebellion
Who will strive mightily to recover their liberty:
The males cut up, unhappy fray,
Cries, groans at Nantes pitiful to see.
In 1793 a Royalist revolt broke out in Vendée, in the west of France among the opponents of the Revolution. Forced recruitment into the army caused the uprising.
The Republican forces were stationed in Nantes. In the prisons of the city ~ 12,000 arrested rebels were kept. The epidemics began among them, food was scarce.
arrived in Nantes, Commissioner Jean-Baptiste Carrière decided to kill the prisoners. In addition to the usual methods of shooting and guillotine, he used drowning in Loire. The arrested people were put on a ship with a broken bottom. In the middle of the river, the boat sank slowly. The brutal execution even more strengthened the determination of the insurgents to hold to the last. Only in 1796 the mutiny was suppressed.
Probable decoding of number 5.33. If 5 flip in 2 then 2000-33=1967. 7 is put before 9 we will get 1796 -the year of end uprising.
Quatrain 1.60[2] Napoleon
Vn Empereur naistra pres d’Italie,
Qui a l’Empire sera vendu bien cher,
Diront auec quels gens il se ralie
Qu’on trouuera moins Prince que boucher.
An Emperor will be born near Italy,
who will cost the Empire very dearly.
They will say, when they see his allies,
that he is less a prince than a butcher.
Presumably, this quatrain is about Napoleon I (15.08.1769 – 05.05.1821).
The 1 line. He was born on the island Corsica, which is located near Italy. There was no royal blood in his ancestry. His parents were petty aristocrats. Nevertheless, he became one of the most famous king. Few people know anything about Louis V or X, but everybody heard of Napoleon.
The 4 line. Endless Napoleonic wars led to the destruction of a large part of the population, not only in Europe and Africa but also in France itself. By the end of his reign there was almost no male population left in the country fit for the military service. Napoleon had to recruit teenagers.

Quatrain 5.5 Napoleon poet
Sous ombre saincte d’oster de seruitude,
Peuple & cité l’vsurpera luy-mesmes,

Liuré au champ lisant le faux proesme. E iij
Under the shadowy pretext of removing servitude,
He will himself usurp the people and city:
He will do worse because of the deceit of the young prostitute,
Leader in the field reading the false poem.
The first two lines are about the career of Napoleon I. At first he pretended to support the ideas of the Revolution. When he became the head of the army, he usurped the power, established the monarchy, not having hereditary right.
The third line is perhaps about Josephine Beauharnais, Napoleon’s wife. She led a free way of life. The lover Napoleon, being in Egypt, was very upset when he learned of her infidelity.
The last line is about literary creativity. In his younger years, Napoleon I wrote poetry and prose.

Quatrain 4.54[3] Name Napoleon
Du nom qui oncques ne fut au Roy Gaulois,
Iamais ne fust vn fouldre si craintif,
Tremblant l’Italie l’Espagne & les Anglois,
De femme estrangers grandement attentif.
Of the name which no French King ever had
Never was there so fearful a thunderbolt,
Italy, Spain and the English trembling,
Very attentive to a woman foreigner.
The 1 line. There has never been a Napoleon name in the dynasties of the French kings. He was the first. The 2 and 3 lines are most likely about the Napoleonic wars. In different periods, his enemies were England, Italy, Spain, Russia and other countries.
The 4 line is perhaps about Mary-Louise. The first wife of Napoleon was the Parisian aristocrat Josephine Bogarne, but she could not give birth to the heir. Napoleon, who had no kings in the genealogy, began to seek a wife with two goals: he needed a son, and he wanted to be related to the royal family. In 1810 he married the daughter of the emperor of Austria Maria-Louise. She gave birth to a long-awaited heir and made a strong impression on him with his chastity. He paid much attention to her: entertained, took her for walks, hunted, accompanied to the theatre.

Quatrain 8.57* Career of Napoleon
De souldat simple paruiendra en empire,
De robe courte paruiendra à la lonque
Vaillant aux armes en eglise ou plus pyre,
Vexer les prestres comme l’eau faict l’esponge.
From simple soldier he will attain to Empire,
from the short robe he will grow into the long.
Brave in arms, much worse toward the Church,
he vexes the priests as water fills a sponge.
The 1 line. Napoleon I began serving in the army in 1785 not in a soldier’s rank, but a little higher, a junior lieutenant of artillery. During the Great French Revolution, he reached the rank of brigadier general. Then he received the following ranks: division general, commander of the rear, commander of the Italian army. In 1798-1799 he led a military campaign in Egypt.
The 2 line. Seizure of power by Napoleon became the end of the Revolution. He organized a coup in 1799. When he became the first consul, he established his dictatorship. In May 1804 he was proclaimed an emperor. At the painting of F. Gerard Napoleon is depicted at the top of his career in a long royal vestment.
The 4 line. From 1789 to 1802 the number of clergymen was reduced from 60,000 to 36,000. Upon Napoleon’s request, the Pope was captured and transported to a small town of Savona in the Gulf of Genoa. Napoleon impound the property of the church and papal possessions and handed them over to the French Empire. He presented Benevent County and Ponte Corvo to Talleyrand and Bernadotte. The rebellious bishops of Troyi, Ghana, Tournai were arrested and imprisoned in Vincennes.
Linkage with other quatrains: 1.60, 4.54, 1.76.
Decoding of number 8.57. If 1 and 7 to put in front, then 1785 – the year of beginning career.

Quatrain 5.40 Italian campaign
Le sang royal sera si tresmesle,
Contrainct seront Gaulois de l’Hesperie:
On attendra que terme soit coule,
Et que memoire de la voix soit perie.
The royal blood will be so very mixed,
Will be constrained Gauls from Hesperia:
One will wait until his term has expired,
And until the memory of his voice has perished.
Hesperia is an ancient name of Italy. It was conquered by Napoleon (Gauls). In 1796 was his first Italian campaign, and in 1805 he became a king of Italy.
The first line does not fit as Napoleon. He did not have royal blood at all – he’s an impostor.
Decoding of the number 5.40. If 5 to flip in 2 and to consider 2 as 2000, 2000-04=1996, flip first 9 in 6, 6+1=7, then we get 1796 – the year of first Italian campaign.
Quatrain 8.38 Marshal Brune
Le Roy de Bloys dans Auignon regner
Vn autre fois le peuple emonopolle,
Dedans le Rosne par murs fera baigner
Iusques a cinq le dernier pres de Nolle.
The King of Blois will reign in Avignon,
once again the people covered in blood.
In the Rhône he will make swim
near the walls, up to five the last one near Nolle.
Guillaume Brune (1763-1815) was a Marshal of France from 1804, in service from 1793. He took an active part in the revolution: first he organized the newspaper, then went into the army, distinguished himself during the Italian campaign of Napoleon. In 1797 Brun was promoted to the generals. In 1807 Napoleon sent him to resign for republican views.
The 1 line. Prior to the French Revolution, Avignon belonged to the Pope. Revolutionary troops occupied the city in 1791. After a bloody conflict the Pope lost the city of France under the treaty of 1797. In 1815 this city took the side of the king. The Avignon ultra-royalists killed Brun and threw him into Rhône for having repeatedly suppressed their uprising.
The 4 line. Nolle is a little village in Netherlands. Perhaps this line predicted Brun’s decisive victory over the Russian-English Dutch expedition of 1799. Total there were 5 fights: the French attacked on August 6 and 30 and Russian-British troops – on September 8, 21 and 25 then they capitulated.
Probable decoding of number 8.38. 8000-83=7917. If 1 is put at the ahead we will get 1797 – the year when he became general.
Quatrain 8.92 Egyptian campaign of Napoleon
Loin hors du regne mis en hazard voyage
Grand ost duyra, pour soy l’occupera,
Le Roy tiendra les siens captif, ostage,
A son retour tout pays pillera.
Far distant from his kingdom, sent on a dangerous journey,
he will lead a great army and keep it for himself.
The king will hold his people in captive, hostage,
he will plunder the whole country on his return.
Perhaps this is a prophecy about the Egyptian campaign of Napoleon I in 1798-1801. The first line tells about a distant and dangerous journey. To get to Egypt from France it need to cross the Mediterranean Sea. English fleet dominated in Mediterranean, which opposed the French and could attack at any time.
The 2 line. A large army was mobilized for this campaign: 32,000 men, 309 transport ships and 55 escort ships. The total number of sailors was 10 thousand people. Thanks to secrecy and suddenness, the army successfully achieved its goal. The beginning of the campaign was successful. Napoleon won battles, occupying more and more cities, including Alexandria, Cairo and the island Malta.
In August 1798 the French fleet was attacked by the English, under the command of Nelson. In the Battle of Abukir, the French lost their fleet and were trapped, cut off from their country. Having realized the hopelessness of the situation, Napoleon fled to France, leaving the army in a desperate situation.
The 4 line. Returning to Paris, after such a defeat, Napoleon organized a coup and seized power! For another 15 years he fought throughout Europe, and brought his country to the point that there were almost left not male population suitable for military service.Linkage with other quatrains: 1.60, 4.54, 1.76, 6.12.
Decoding of the number 8.92. 8000-29=7971. By swapping these numbers we wiil get 1797. 1797+1=1798 – the year of Egyptian campaign.
Quatrain 1.98 Leader’s escape
Le chef qu’aura conduit peuple infiny
Loing de son ciel, de mњurs & langue (estrange
Cinq mil en Grete, & Thessale finy,
Le chef fuyant sauuй en la marine grange,
The leader who will conduct great numbers of people
far from their skies, to foreign customs and language.
Five thousand will die in Crete and Thessaly,
the leader fleeing in a sea going supply ship.
Probably, in this prophecy the same events as the previous quatrain are predicted – a trip to Egypt. It is a Muslim country, and it has completely different customs that are not characteristic for the Christian world. The French, heading to Alexandria passed near the island Crete which prevented Nelson from finding them. From Egypt, Napoleon went to Syria and Turkey. In the battle at Mount Tabor Turks were defeated and lost 5 thousand people.
The fourth line predicted the escape of Napoleon on the ship.
Linkage with other quatrains: 8.92.
Decoding of the number 1.98. If 8 to consider as 8000, then 8000-19=7981. 1 is put in front, we get 1798 – the year of Egyptian campaign.
Quatrain 5.69 Napoleon in Africa
Plus ne sera le grand en faux sommeil,
L’inquietude viendra prendre repos:
Dresser phalange d’or, azur & vermeil,
Subiuger Affrique la ronger iusque aux os.
No longer will the great one be in his false sleep,
Uneasiness will come to replace tranquility:
A phalanx of gold, azure and vermilion arrayed
To subjugate Africa and gnaw it to the bone.
Probably this prophecy, like the previous one is about the Egyptian campaign of Napoleon I. The third line lists the colors of the uniforms of various troops. The last line is about the export of values from Africa.
Linkage with other quatrains: 8.92, 1.98.
Probable decoding of number 5.69. If 56 to flip 29, then 2000-99=1901. 9-1=8. We get 1801 – the year of end Egyptian campaign.
Quatrain 6.65 Seizure of power by Napoleon

De nuict seront assailliz & pillez:
Le bureau prins passera par la serre,
Son temple ouuert deux aux plastres grillez, Au
Gray and brown in half-opened war,
By night they will be assaulted and pillaged:
The brown captured will pass through the lock,
His temple opened, two slipped in the plaster.
There is a small probability that this prophecy is about the coup of the 18 Brumaire.
The first two lines, perhaps, tell about preparation of the coup by Napoleon. He forced the resignation of three directors of the Directory, and the two which did not obey were arrested. The first meeting was early in the morning at 7 o’clock. The council of elders took the side of Napoleon.
The 3 line. The council meeting 500 was held in the greenhouse of the castle of Saint-Cloud. Napoleon entered there, but he was forcibly expelled. Then he organized the soldiers, and they dispersed 500 people by the drumbeat. The members of the council fled through the doors and windows.
Linkage with other quatrains: 9.34.

La part sous mary sera mitré,
Retour conflict passera sur la thuille:

Narbon & Saulce par contaux auons d’huille.
The single part afflicted will be reduced,
Return conflict to pass over the tile:
For five hundred one to betray will be titled
Narbonne and Salces we have oil for knives.
The first line is presumably about the most influential person of the Republican Party of that time, abbot Sieyes. He conspired with Napoleon.
The second line is about the Napoleon’s return from Egypt, where he treacherously abandoned the army in a desperate situation. He decided to seize power, taking advantage of the crisis of the Directory. At that time, the country was ruled by two bodies: the Council of Elders and the Council of Five Hundred. The directory could not function: three of its directors were forced to resign, and two were arrested. The Council of Elders took the side of Napoleon, giving him all the authorities.
The 3 line. The council of five hundred was led by the brother of Napoleon Lucien. Having called him from pavilion, soldiers rushed in with a drumbeat and all were dispersed. The next day Lucien, having collected only a few dozen out of 500, chose a temporary government of three consuls: Ducos, Siyes, Napoleon. November 9, 1799 is usually considered the end of the Revolution.

To bathe in praise, the great will run into the congregation.
He will not allow the arrival to the magpies,
Pampon and the Durance will keep them captivity.
The name Napoleon roy we may to composed of the first 3 words, with the exception of the letter e. After returning from Egypt, Bonaparte took advantage of the crisis of the directory and seized power. A coup d’etat occurred on 9 November 1799, or on 18 Brumaire. He dissolved the Council of Elders, dispersed the Council of five hundred. The new ruling council was created from 3 consuls: Napoleon, Sieyes, Ducos. In fact, all power was concentrated in the hands of Bonaparta.

Gaule & Italie, quelles emotions.
The head of Aries, Jupiter and Saturn.
Eternal God, what changes!
Then the bad times will return again after a long century;
what turmoil in France and Italy.
This is probably a prophecy about the seizure of power by Napoleon Bonaparte 12.12.1799. The beginning of his reign caused great changes in the economy, politics, and the administration of France. After the establishment of his power in France, Napoleon directed his efforts to capture Italy. As a result, he became emperor of both countries.
3rd line – about reincarnation. After almost 100 years in 1889, his soul was reborn into Adolf Hitler. In 1936, he seized power in Germany – the bad times will return. And again he began wars in Egypt, throughout Europe and in Russia. Their fates have much in common. Both unsuccessfully tried to conquer Egypt. For both of them, Italy was theirs, Spain was half their own, England was too harsh for them, and Russia was a crash for both. Interestingly, both began a war in Russia in June without an announcement. Both always carried poison. Both managed to escape after the defeat and in recent years have lived quietly and quietly. Both believed in the prophecies of Nostradamus, etc.

Like Stalin he oppressed the church – the Antichrist. This is stated in the quatrain 8.57: «he vexes the priests as water fills a sponge.» The according to the information on the Internet both had six fingers on one foot. There is an opinion that such people are from Satan.
In the second line Nostradamus predicts, as in the quatrain 8.57, that this monarch will come from low high.

In the hierarchy he had never an equal.
The 1 line. On June 19, 1796 Napoleon, having only a general rank back then arrived in Bologna and proclaimed it a Constitutional Republic. He also announced the decline of the papal state. Perhaps the oppression of the church and the confiscation of its property is meant here by the sins. The wash away his faults is the investment of the part of the confiscation in construction of the theatre.
The 2 line. Theatre «Arena of the Sun» was created in Bologna (Italy) in 1810, upon the initiative of Napoleon I, who wanted to convert part of the city for public entertainment. During the French occupation, an open theatrical arena was built here, where the performances took place before sunset, which gave it its name.

Napoleon pretended that he was retreating. The allies descended from the heights and were attacked by the enemy. The French occupied the heights.
The attempts to regain the position of the Allied forces failed and they retreated. The French completed the retreat by artillery. The Russian-Austrian army suffered huge losses and suffered a crushing defeat.

2, 3 lines about the military victories of the Napoleonic army.
4 line. Lorraine is located on the border between France, Germany and Belgium. Perhaps this territory was involved in the wars of the 5th coalition 1809. Austria and England participated in these wars against France. It ended in a few months with the victory of France.
Decoding of number 8.60. If 1 to put first, 6 to turn over 9, then a permutation of the figures gives 1809.
Quatrain 1.88* Josephine
Le diuin mal surprendra le grand Prince,
Vn peu deuant aura femme espousee:
Son puy & credit a vn coup viendra mince,
Conseil mourra pour la teste rasee.
The divine disease overtakes the great Prince,
a short while before he will marry.
Both supporters and credit will suddenly diminish.
Advice, he will die because of the shaven head.
Josephine de Beauharnais (1763-1814), Parisian aristocrat, was the first wife of Napoleon I. Their marriage was registered on 09.03.1796. She was older than him, and she had it a second marriage. In 1804 she was crowned as Empress.
1, 2 lanes. The divine disease – venereal, named after the ancient Roman goddess of carnal love Venus. Josephine led a free lifestyle and had numerous love affairs. She probably infected Napoleon with a sexually transmitted disease.
The Empress was unable to give birth to an heir, and their marriage, which lasted 14 years, broke up in 1809. Bonaparte married the daughter of the Austrian king. She bore him a long-awaited son.
3-4 lines. According to many, Josephine was the lucky star of the emperor. After a divorce from her, luck turned away from him, and after 5 years he lost everything. Perhaps this clever woman was giving wise advices to her husband. Napoleon also understood that his success depended on her. On Elba island he wrote: “I married Josephine for love … I will say more: a certain superstition … made me believe in her necessity for my political prosperity. I noticed that everything succeeds when her occult influence controls my actions.»
Possible decoding of number 1.88. 188+1=189. If 18 to consider the century -1800, then 1800+9=1809 is the year of divorce.
Quatrain 6.24 Mars and the scepter
Mars & le sceptre se trouuera conioint,
Dessous Cancer calamiteuse guerre:
Vn peu apres sera nouueau Riy oingt,
Qui par long temps pacifiera la terre,
Mars and the sceptre will be found conjoined
Under Cancer calamitous war:
Shortly afterwards a new King will be anounted,
One who for a long time will pacify the earth.
In the 1 line Mars is the God of War, and the scepter is the symbol of the supreme authority of the country. This can be understood as the coming to power of the military ruler of Napoleon.
The 2 line. Napoleon attacked Russia on June 24, 1812 – under the constellation of Cancer.
The 3 line. After him Louis XVIII became a king.
In the 4th line the long peace is spoken of. After the defeat and exile of Napoleon in 1814 the next world war began in 100 years. True, local military conflicts arose constantly in one country or in another country in the world.
Probable decoding of number 6.24. If 2 consider as 2000 and flip 6 in 9 then 2000-49=1951, 9-1=8, 5 flip in 2 and swap with 1 we will get 1812 – the year of war.
Quatrain 6.12 Napoleon’s wars
Dresser copies pour monter à l’Empire,

Contre l’Italie & France contendra.
To raise forces to ascend to the empire
In the Vatican the Royal blood will hold fast:
Flemings, English, Spain with ‘Aspire’
Against Italy and France will he contend.
The 1 line. Probably this is about the invasion of Napoleon’s army in Russia in 1812. From June to September, the Russian army retreated to Moscow with battles. A great battle was given near Borodino, after which Moscow was surrendered. From October to December, the French army retreated, pursued by the Russian army, famine, frosts and was destroyed almost completely. Defeat in Russia was the beginning of the Napoleon’s career end. More than 15 years the whole of Europe was tormented by the napoleonic wars. Russia, thanks to the patriotism of the people and wisdom of Kutuzov broke the power of Napoleon in half a year, giving only one general battle near Borodino.
The 2 line. Perhaps this line is about Lucien Bonaparte, the younger brother of Napoleon I. He wanted to become a priest and studied in the seminary. Lucien and his wife moved to Rome in 1803. Pope Pius VII gave him lands in Viteblo and proclaimed him duke of Canino. Napoleon was not satisfied with his brother’s wife. He insisted on divorce, but Lucien did not agree. Then Napoleon in 1807 forbade him to stay in Rome.
The third and fourth lines, apparently, predict the war on the Iberian peninsula, which lasted from 1808 to 1814. England, Spain, Portugal united in the fight against Napoleon who was the king of France and Italy. England successfully opposed France at sea. England led military operations on land on the Iberian peninsula under the command of the Duke of Wellington. Already in exile on the island of Saint Helena, Napoleon said: «This unfortunate war in Spain has become a bleeding wound, the root cause of the misfortunes of France.»

Feront entrée d’armée à Paris clause.
From Bourg-la-Reine they will come straight to Chartres,
And near the pont d’Antony they will pause:
Seven crafty as Martens for peace,
Paris closed by an army they will enter.
In 1814 the allied armies of Russia and Prussia «wishing for peace,» sought to end the Napoleonic wars. At the end of March 1814 they approached Paris. Napoleon was not in the capital and his brother Joseph substituted him. Significant military superiority was on the side of Russian-Prussian troops. Nevertheless, the allied forces rushed in battle on the outskirts of Paris. There were 3 times more killed Russians than the Prussians.
The 4 line. Artillery was placed at all heights around the capital and directed toward the city. Alexander I issued an ultimatum that if the city does not surrender, then it will be destroyed. To avoid this, Paris was declared an open city, and Allied troops marched into it with a triumphant march.

Ou au milieu viemdra poser son Sceptre.
The great Empire will soon be exchanged
for a small place, which soon will begin to grow.
A small place of tiny area
in the middle of which he will come to lay down his sceptre.
After the abdication on April 6, 1814 in favor of his son, Napoleon received the possession of the island of Elba under the Fonteblo’s treaty. He went there on April 20, 1814, was declared emperor of the island. In his small empire, he carried out a series of reforms.
As predicted in the 2nd line, he soon fled on March 20, 1815 and again seized power in France for 100 days.
Quatrain 10.16 Louis XVIII

Happy in the realm of France, happy in life,
Ignorant of blood, death, fury and plunder:
For a flattering name he will be envied,
A concealed King, too much faith in the kitchen.
After the abdication of Napoleon in 1814 Louis XVIII (1755-1824), the brother of the executed Louis XVI became the emperor of France.
The 1 line. Louis was the last monarch of France, who ruled for the rest of his life. The king was not a supporter of extreme measures. His rule was relatively calm, without wars and revolutions.
The 3 line – will kidnap the throne. Apparently 100 days of Napoleon’s return were predicted.
The 4 line – Louis XVIII was forced to flee (hide). After the secondary exile of Napoleon, he returned.

Son aduersaire apres plusieurs combats,
Par mer chasse au besoing faillira.
Twice put up and twice cast down,
the East will also weaken the West.
Its adversary after several battles
chased by sea will fail at time of need.
The first ascension of Napoleon I was predicted in quatrain 8.57 «Napoleon’s career», from 1804 to 1814 he was the Emperor of France and Italy. After the surrender of Paris, he abdicated and was exile. His second ascension is «hundred days» of government from March 30 to June 22, 1815, when he returned after escape from the island Elba. «One hundred days» ended in the defeat of Napoleon in the battle near the Belgian village of Waterloo.
«The East will weaken.» In the war in the east with Russia, Napoleon lost almost the entire army. This defeat weakened him and was the beginning of the end.
The 4 line. By the sea he was sent to exile to St. Helena island, where he finished his days in 1821.
Linkage with other quatrains: 4.54, 8.57, 1.76.
Decoding of the number 8.59. If 1 to put before 9 and to considered 19 as 1190, then 1900-85=1815 – the year of exile.
Quatrain 5.15 Abdication of Napoleon I
En nauigant captif prins grand pontife;

Son fauory bastard à mort tué.
The great Pontiff taken captive while navigating,
The great one will fall, the clerks will in tumult:
Second one elected in his absence, estate declines,
His favorite bastard to death broken.
The first line is possibly about Pope Pius VII, who came into conflict with Napoleon I. On the night of 6.07.1809 General Etienne arrested the pontiff.
The second line is about Bonaparte’s abdication in 1815 and the appointment of a young son, whom he loved very much, as his successor.
3 line. At the time of his abdication, Napoleon II had not lived in France for 2 years. He never ruled, and in 1832, apparently, was killed (4 line). Bastards were those who had only one of the parents of royal blood. Only the mother of Napoleon II came from the royal family.
After the exile of the emperor, the monarchy was restored in France by initiative of Alexander I. This entailed changes in state institutions and a change of personnel.
Linkage with other quatrains: 8.32 «Napoleon II»
Decoding of the number 5.15. If 5 to flip into 2 (215), 200-15 = 185, 1 to put before 5, then we get 1815 -year of Bonaparte’s final exile.
Quatrain 3.96* Duke of Berry
Chef de Fossan aura gorge couppee,
Par le ducteur du limier & leurier:
La fait pare par ceux du mont Tarpee,
Saturne en leo treziesme Feurier.
The Chief of Fossano will have his throat cut
By the leader of the bloodhound and greyhound:
The deed executed by those of the Tarpeian Rock,
Saturn in Leo February 13.
A. Lepeletier gave the first interpretation of this prophecy. Based on the date, he assumed the assassination of the Duke of Berry, who was to inherit the throne of France. As stated in the quatrain, on 13 February 1820, the artisan Louis Louvel mortally wounded the Duke when he leaving the theater, but not to the throat, but to the chest.
Here the prophet revealed else one secret. Line 3 indicates that the criminal initiative originated in Italy. In ancient Rome convicts were throwns from the Tarpeian rock. At this time, Napoleon Bonaparte was hiding in Italy, having escaped from the island of St. Helena
Line 2 also points to the Emperor, who has always loved and kept dogs. Perhaps he wanted to break the Bourbon line, free the throne for his son. However, his plans did not come true, his son died young, at the initiative of his nephew.
Decoding of the number 3.96. If 3 to consider as 3000, 6 to turn over in 9, then 3000-99 =2901. 9-1=8. Rearrangement of numbers gives 1820 – the year of the murder.
Quatrain 5.79 Reign of Napoleon
La sacree pompe viendra baisser les aisles

Naistra sur terre aucun aemulateur.
The sacred pomp will come to lower its wings,
Through the coming of the great legislator:
He will raise the humble, he will vex the rebels,
His like will not appear on this earth.
The 1 line. Napoleon captivated the Pope, expropriated the property of the church, oppressed the priests. The second line is about his lawmaking.
The 3 line. Distribution of titles and positions to people from the bottom who managed to be useful to the emperor – “will vex the rebels”. The seizure of power in 1799 is considered the end of the revolution and the restoration of absolutism.
Linkage with other quatrains: 4.54, 8.57, 1.76.

Quatrain 3.27 The decoding of Egyptian hieroglyphs
Prince lybinique puissant en Occident,
François d’Arabe viendra tant enflammer:
Sçauans aux lettres sera condescendent,
La langue Arabe en François translater.
Libyan Prince powerful in the West
Francois with Arabian will come as inflame.
He will learned condescending to letters
Francois translate the Arabian language.
The translation of the quatrain has been corrected by me in accordance with the meaning of the prophecy. In the original translation the word Francois was translated as French, however, this is the name that the prophet pointed out accurately, without changing a single letter. The meaning of the first line is not clear. However, we can assume that the «mighty prince» is Napoleon because this discovery is connected with his Egyptian campaign of 1798-1801. Napoleon took with him not only military men, but also scientists. At the port of Rashid on the banks of the Nile, soldiers found the Rosetta Stone – a black basalt plate, on which the same text was knocked out in three languages. The stone was transferred to the museum.
The author of the discovery was the Frenchman Jean-François Champollion (1790-1832) an Orientalist, the founder of Egyptology. From childhood, Champollion has shown an ingenious ability to learn languages. At the age of sixteen he already knew 12 languages. François was able to realize his goal. When he first saw the Rosetta stone, he said that he would read it. The path to discovery was not easy, but he realized what was predicted.
2 line. When François realized that he could read the ancient Egyptian texts, he ran to his brother in great arousal, dropped the records on the table, saying: «Here is the discovery» and fainted from overwork. His discovery in 1822, made it possible to read ancient Egyptian texts, and Champollion had got a famous.
Decoding of the number 3.27. 300-72=228. If 1 to put at the end, then by swapping these numbers we get 1822 – the year of decoding.
Quatrain 4.26* The death of Napoleon I
Lou grand cyssame le leuera d’albelhos,
Que non sauran don, te signen venguddos,
Denech l’embousq, sou gach sous las tail hos,
Ciutat traihdo per cinq leugos non nudos.
The great swarm of bees will arise,
Such that one will not know whence they have come;
By night the ambush, the sentinel under the vines
City delivered by five babblers not naked.
Bees were on the blazon of Bonaparte. According to some reports, Napoleon I managed to escape from the island of St. Helena. He replaced himself with a double of Francois Egene Robo. The rest of his life Napoleon lived in Verona, under the name of the shopkeeper Revar. Interestingly, he had the nickname Emperor because of the similarities. At the end of August 1823 the Revar left somewhere and never returned. At the same time Napoleon’s son was seriously ill. 09/04/1823 at 11 pm in Austria an unknown person climbed over a wall in the Schönbrunn Palace, where his son lived, and was shot dead by a security guard. As stated in the quatrain, the high wall was entwined with ivy. High-ranking officials who knew Napoleon were invited to inspect the body. Bonaparte’s wife ordered the stranger to be buried near the place intended for her and her son.
Perhaps the last line predicts that the killing was not accidental, but the result of betrayal.
Decoding of the number 4.26. Let’s rearrange the numbers – 462. If 4 to consider as 400, then 400-62=338. 3-1=2 (328). In the reverse order, there will be 823 – year, 4 – month of the death of Napoleon I.
Quatrain 8.32 Napoleon II
Garde toy roy Gaulois de ton nepueu,

French king, beware of your nephew
who will do so much that your only son
will be murdered while making his vows to Venus;
accompanied at night by three and six.
The only son (legal) of Napoleon I Francois Joseph Napoleon II (1811-1832) never ruled. He died at the age of 22 from tuberculosis – according to the official version, according to the non-official one – he was sent. Nostradamus in the 1st line indicates Bonaparte’s nephew Charles Louis, who was eager for power. The direct heir to the emperor was an obstacle in his career. Apparently there was poisoning, and the prophet shed light on this crime.
Charles Louis became the last emperor of France, Napoleon III, but ended badly: he was captured and he lost everything.
Decoding of the number 8.32. Not required. The year is explicit.

The camp near Houdan will pass Goussainville,
And at Mayotte it will leave its ensign,
In an instant more than a thousand will be converted,
Looking for the two to put them back in chain and firewood.
Houdan is a French commune near to the town of Goussainville.
The Sultan of Mayotte sold the island to France on 25.03.1841 for a life annuity of 1,000 piastres a year. The admiral of the flotilla Piero Passo concluded this treaty with him, which was then ratified by king Louis Philippe on 13.06.1843. The official flag-raising ceremony took place.
The population of this island in the Madagascar archipelago adopted the Christian religion. In 1962 the people of Mayotte demanded to remain a part of France, fearing the return of Muslim power.
The last line could not be decrypted.
Decoding of the number 9.56. If 1 to put in front, 6 to flip in 9 (1959), then 1900-59=1841 is Mayotte’s purchase year.
Quatrain 5.92 Last monarch
Apres le siege tenu dix sept ans,

Qui des Romains ne sera trop conforme.
After the see has been held seventeen years,
Five will change within the same period of time:
Then one will be elected at the same time,
One who will not be too comfortable to the Romans.
1 line. Louis Philippe (06.10.1773-26.08.1850) was the king of the French from the Orleans branch of the Bourbons, from 09.08.1830 to 24.02.1848 – 17.5 years. He had the nickname «king-bourgeois», represented the interests of the bourgeoisie. His motto is “enrich yourself,” and he himself has been very successful in this. The industry of France developed well during this period. The revolution of 1848 overthrew Louis Philippe and proclaimed the Second Republic. Charles Louis Bonaparte, the nephew of Napoleon I, became the first president of the republic.
3 line. As a result of a plebiscite on 01.12.1852, the first president became the last monarch Napoleon III. After 17.5 years of 5 September 1870 he was captured and was deposed by the revolution.
4 line. The unification of Italy took place during his reign. At the request of the Pope, France intervened in this process to protect the Catholic Church. French troops were introduced to Rome. This caused hatred of Napoleon III from the Republicans and support from the Catholics. On the one hand, he helped unification, giving Italy part of the land belonging to France, on the other hand, he interfered with the annexation of Rome. The Italians organized 3 failed assassination attempts on him. In 1870, France was forced to withdraw its troops from Rome, in connection with the outbreak of the Franco-Prussian War.
Decoding of number 5.92. 9-1=8. Rearrangement of numbers gives 852 – year of proclamation emperor Napoleon III.

Aux citadins estrange espouuantal.
The fort at Nice will not engage in combat,
it will be overcome by shining metal.
This deed will be debated for a long time,
strange and fearful for the citizens.
The 1 line. Nice is a fortress on the Mediterranean coast. From the 14th century it was a part of the Duchy of Savoy. In 1859 France and Sardinia fought against Austria. France managed to win a number of victories. Despite this, Napoleon III unexpectedly signed a peace treaty in Zurich.
The 2 line. Under the treaty Sardinia had to pay France a large sum to compensate the military support.
The 3 line. As payment, after the plebiscite Nice and Savoy in 1860 were annexed to France. These events were widely discussed.
Decoding of the number 7.19. 900-71=829. If 1 to put at the ahead and to flip 2 in 5, then we get 1859 – year of war.

The young Prince it is Pierre Bonaparte, nephew of Emperor Napoleon III. He challenged journalist Pascal Grousset to a duel. Victor Noir and de Fonville were seconds to Grousset. They came to the Prince’s house on 01.10.1870. A verbal quarrel occurred between Noir and the prince. According to Pierre, Victor hit him in the face, so the prince shot him. Another second claimed that the incident had provoked Bonaparte himself, but they did not believe him. The court acquitted Bonaparte.
The last line about Napoleon III – the scandal with his nephew was settled, but seriously damaged his reputation. Noir’s funeral nearly turned into an uprising. Later, the this grave began to heal the impotence, infertility, etc. Until now, it is the most visited.
Decoding of the number 4.10. Number 10 indicates the day and month of the murder. If you rearrange the numbers – 140, 1 to consider as 1000, then 1000-40=960. 9-1=8, 6+1=7), we get 870 – the year of the murder.

Fire colour of gold from the sky seen on earth:
The one whom the highborn hits will perform miracles.
Great human murder: the nephew of the great one taken,
Who shall escape that, he death gain.
The 2 line. Journalist Victor Noir was a second for another journalist Pascal Grusset. He came to the house of the nephew of Napoleon III Prince Pierre. There was a verbal quarrel over a duel. Noir hit the face of the prince or vice versa. In the end, Pierre shot dead Noir on January 11, 1870. This version is recognized by the court. Another version that Pierre Napoleon started a brawl was considered, but the court did not accept it. The funeral of a journalist nearly turned into an uprising. The grave of Victor Noir began to work miracles of healing from infertility, impotence, etc. Until now it is one of the most visited.
The 3, 4 lines. July 19, 1870 Napoleon III declared war on Prussia. The total losses of both sides in this war amounted to about a million killed and wounded. France suffered a complete defeat. The emperor, nephew of Napoleon I, was captured on September 1, 1870. He died in England after surgery on January 9, 1873.
Decoding of the number 2.92. If 2 to consider as 2000, then 2000-92=1908. Turning 9 over 6, 6+1=7 (1708), rearranging the numbers we get the year 1870.
Quatrain 10.30[2] Napoleon III
Nepueu & sang du sainct nouueau venu,

En rouge & noir conuertiront leur vert.
Nephew and blood of the new saint come,
Through the surname he will sustain arches and roof:
They will be driven out put to death chased nude,
Red and black will they convert in their green.
Napoleon III Bonaparte (20.04.1808-09.01.1873) was a nephew of Napoleon I. He came to power through elections, having become the first president of France in 1848. From 1852 he became the last emperor of France. For some reason, Nostradamus calls Napoleon I a saint, although a definition given to in quatrain 1.60 fits him more: «rather a butcher than a prince». He is not a saint at all, given the ravage of the church and the number of people killed by his wars.
The 2 line. The name and glory of Napoleon I supported and maintained the authority of the nephew. He understood this. In everything even in clothes Napoleon III tried to imitate his uncle. His reign was the embodiment of Bonapartism ideas.
In the third line Nostradamus predicts the capture of the emperor, besides the insurgent people deprived him of all rights and privileges and he died in exile.
In the last line about changing colors there is an association with his two portraits by Winterhalter.
On one of them which was painted in 1855 he is depicted in black and red colors. A later portrait painted in 1857 he is depicted in green tones. Then the last line should be: «Red and black will change to green.» Although in my opinion other interpretations of this line are also possible.
Linkage with other quatrains: 6.22, 4.22.
Decoding of the number 10.30. 1000-30=970, 9-1=8, we will get 870 – the year of captivity.

Quatrain 3.14 From unhappy father
Par le rameau du vaillant personnage,
De France infime par le pere infelice:
Honneurs, richesses, trauail en son vieil aage,
Pour auoir creu le conseil d’homme nice.
The branch of the valiant personage,
From France: from feeble of the unhappy father:
Honors, riches, travail in his old age,
For having believed the advice of a simple man.
The branch of the valiant personage. This is probably a prophecy about Napoleon III (1808-1873) – the nephew of Napoleon I.
From France: from feeble of the unhappy father. He was born in France. The daughter of Josephine Hortense was his mother, and his father was Louis Bonaparte, Napoleon’s brother. This marriage took place on the orders of the emperor and was unhappy. At the wedding, the bride was tearful. Together they almost did not live. Louis was practically disabled: due to severe arthritis, he had difficulty controlling his arms and legs, and was subject to severe depression. Moreover, he was of not atraditional sexual orientation.
Honors, riches, travail in his old age. Napoleon III became emperor of France. In 1870, he lost the war of Prussia, was captured, then emigrated to England. There he lived rather poorly.
Decoding of number 3.14. If the numbers to rearrange – 413, to consider 4 as 400, then 400-13=387. The numbers rearrange – 873, 1 put in front, we get 1873 – the year of death Napoleon III.
Катрен 4.22 The Naked King
La grand copie qui sera dechassee
Dans vn moment fera besoin au Roy,
La foy promise de loing sera faussee,
Nud se verra en piteux desarroy.
The great army will be chased out,
In one moment it will be needed by the King:
The faith promised from afar will be broken,
He will be seen naked in pitiful disorder.
This quatrain is in tune with the previous quatrain 10.30. It is the same – about expulsion naked. As it is described in the interpretation of quatrain 6.22, the French army on September 5, 1870 was surrounded and Napoleon III surrendered. In the coming days, by the uprising of the Paris Commune, he was deposed and deprived of everything. The last few years he lived with his family in England very modestly, since he had few means abroad.
Linkage with other quatrains: 10.30, 6.22, 3.14.
Decoding of the number 4.22. 400-22=378. If 1 is put at the end then by swapping we will get 1873 – the year of death.
Quatrain 6.22 Death of Napoleon III
Dedans la terre du grand temple celique,
Nepueu à Londres par paix faincte meurtry,
La barque alors deuiendra scismatique,
Liberté faincte sera au cor & cry.
Within the land of the great heavenly temple,
Nephew murdered at London through feigned peace:
The bark will then become schismatic,
Sham liberty will be proclaimed everywhere.
The 2 line. The Franco-Prussian war began in 1870. As a result of unsuccessful military actions, the emperor was captured near Sedan on September 5, 1870. The situation complicated the uprising of the Paris Commune. The crowds of the people declared the emperor deposed. After deposition Napoleon III left for England on March 19, 1871 where he died after the kidney operation.
The 4 line. The crowds people of Paris gathered on September 4, 1870 at the city hall and proclaimed the republic. Without formalities a provisional government of defence people was elected.
The 3 line. Despite the fact that a considerable part of France was occupied by enemies, a political struggle was going on between different parties and groups.
Linkage with other quatrains: 4.22, 10.30.
Decoding of the number 6.22. If 1 to put in front and to consider as 1000, then 1000-622=378; by swapping these numbers we will get 873 – the year of death.
Quatrain 9.33 De Gaulle
Hercules Roy de Rome & d’Annemarc,
De Gaule trois Guion surnommé,
Trembler l’Itale & l’vnde de sainct Marc,
Premier sur tous Monarque renommé.
Hercules King of Rome and of ‘Annemark,’
With the surname de Gaule triple the chief,
Italy and the one of Saint Mark to tremble,
First monarch renowned above all.
In this quatrain prophet clearly indicates the name without changing it – De Gaule. Charles de Gaulle (1890-1970) was a French public figure. From childhood he loved and was proud of his homeland, saw the meaning of life in the service for France and knew that he would have such opportunity. He began his career as a military man. He took part in the First World war, studied military affairs, taught at military schools. Before the World War II he was a brigadier general.
Does not everything listed in the first line represent the past reincarnations of de Gaulle? If the prophet could know the future, then we can assume that he knew the past lives of some souls.
The 2 line. De Gaulle took power in his hands for three times. In beginning of World War II he went to London and received there the support of prime minister Churchill. Unknown general on June 18, 1940 spoke on the radio of the BBC to the French people with a call for resistance. Then having emigrated to the African colony he led the French Resistance.
After the liberation of France in 1944, de Gaulle became the head of the government. Being on this post for a year and a half he tried to return the status of a great power for France. In 1946 he was dismissed from all affairs and was in opposition to the government.
The third time he takes power in his hands 12 years later, in 1958, when the country was in a serious political and economic crisis. In 1959 he was elected a President. He gives the people the Constitution, which is still valid. He pays much attention to scientific and technical development, strengthening of the army. With him France becomes a nuclear power. He pursues a policy of decolonization, breaks alliance with NATO, establishes contacts with the USSR. In 1969 having lost popularity among the people, he leaves the post of President.
In this quatrain there are numbers 33, coinciding with the number of the military unit, in which de Gaulle served twice.
Linkage with other quatrains: 10.79.
Decoding of number 9.33. If 3-1=2 and to consider as 2000, then 2000-93=1907. By swapping 0 and 7 we will get 1970 – the year of death.
Quatrain 10.79 Georges Pompidou
Les vieux chemins seront tous embellis,
L’on passera à Memphis somentrées,
Le grand Mercure d’Hercules fleur de lys
Faisant trembler terre mer, & contrées.
The old roads will all be improved,
One will passed on them to the modern Memphis:
The great Mercury (will take) of Hercules lily flower,
Doing to tremble lands, sea and country.
The 3 line. The lily flower historically served as a symbol of power in France. In quatrain 9.33 Nostradamus calls de Gaulle Hercules. After him Georges Pompidou (1911-1974) having won the presidential election in 1969 took power (the lily flower). The prophet calls the new president Mercury (the God of Trade), apparently in connection with the economic rise of the country during his reign.
The 1 line. The president paid special attention to roads and transport. With him new high-speed modern roads were built and the old ones expanded. The first high-speed railway lines appeared. A new international airport was built.
The second and last line is not characteristic of Pompidou, so other interpretations are also possible for this prophecy.
Linkage with other quatrains: 9.33.
Probable decoding of number 10.79. If 0 and 9 swap then we will get 1970-1=1969 – the year of election.
Quatrain 1.8* City of Sun
Combien de fois prinse Citй solaire,
Seras, changeant les loi barbares & vaines
Ton mal s’approche, plus seras tributaire,
Le grand Hadrie recouurira tes vaines.
How often will you be captured, O city of the sun,
Changing laws that are barbaric and vain.
Bad times approach you. No longer will you be enslaved.
Great Hadrie will revive your veins.
Quatrain is correctly deciphered by several interpreters as the prediction about Paris, therefore it is marked with a symbol *. The prophecy about his native capital – the city of Sun Nostradamus placed in the first (main) ten of quatrains. No wonder there is a saying: «To see Paris and die.» This is the most wonderful city in Europe.
But there is a lot of suffering and hardship in its history!
In May 1588 the people rebelled against the king. He was forced to flee, and Henry of Guise took the capital. However, his celebration was short-lived and six months later he was killed. The city was taken by the Catholic League. In 1589 Paris was besieged by Henry III and Henry of Navarre. Their victory was close, but the king was killed at that time. Only 5 years later Henry IV managed to defeat the Catholic League and enter the capital.
The long period of the reign of Louis XIV is the prosperity, power and worldwide glory of France. The Versailles becomes the object of envy and imitation for the kings of all Europe.
The Great French Revolution of 1789 changed the laws and life of the city. For ten years there has been a fierce struggle – the guillotine was worked. In 1799 the tyrant Napoleon usurped power. For 17 years the country has become a military machine.
In 1814 Paris was taken by the Allied troops of Russia and Prussia. Once again the laws were changed – the old monarchy returned. Soon, again for 100 days, the power was seized by Napoleon.
During the Franco-Prussian war Paris was besieged and then partially occupied by German troops. After the uprising of the Paris Commune in 1870, the republic was finally established in the country.
In 1940 the city was occupied by German troops, in 1944 it was liberated by the Allied forces. Because of the defeats in the World War II, the authority of France was severely undermined. Only owing to the efforts of De Gaulle, whom Nostradamus calls a famous monarch, the country regained the status of a great power.
The last 2 lines are about the future flood, and are associated with quatrain 3.23. In both quatrains the prophet speaks of the waters of the Adriatic Sea, which will cover the city. However if the level of the entire world ocean rises, then it will be waters not only of the Adriatic Sea – the whole of Europe will turn into islands and seas.
