The predictions about Italy
Quatrain 5.61 Hannibal
L’enfant du grand n’estant à sa naissance,
Subiuguera les hauts monts Appennins,
Fera trembler tous ceux de la Balance,
Et des monts feux iusques à mont Cenis.
The child of the Great who was not present at his birth,
He will subjugate the high Apennine mountains:
All those in Libra will tremble,
And from the Pyrenees to Mont Cenis.
1 line. Hannibal was born in 247 BC in the family of the famous Carthaginian leader Hamilcar. Where the father was at the time of birth of his son is unknown. From the age of 9, Hamilcar took his son on military campaigns and instilled in him a hatred of the Roman republic.
2 line. Hannibal became the head of the Carthaginian troops in Spain and in 218 BC started the 2nd Punic War. His army crossed Pyrenees and Alps in the second half of October (under the sign of Libra). On the Mont-Cenis pass, he ferried not only the army, horses, but also elephants. The arrival of Hannibal’s army was unexpected for the Romans. He managed to win a number of victories on the Apennine Peninsula.
Decoding of the number 5.61. If 56 to flip into 29 and rearrange the numbers – 219, then 219-1=218 BC – the beginning of the 2nd Punic War.
Quatrain 10.89* Mellifluous times
De brique en marbre serôt les murs reduicts,
Sept & cinquante années pacifique,
Ioye aux humains, renoüé l’aqueduict,
Santé, grands fruits, joye & temps melifique.
The walls will be converted from brick to marble,
Seven and fifty pacific years:
Joy to people /Joy to mortals/, the aqueduct renewed,
Health, abundance of fruits, joy and mellifluous times.
This interpretation was changed by me after reading the version of A. Penzensky, which is more believable.
This quatrain is about the reign of the first Roman emperor Octavian Augustus (23.09.63 BC-19.08.14 AD). Starting from 43 BC he held the post of consul 13 times, then was the pontiff, tribune.
From 43 BC until 14 A.D. it turns out ~ 57 years. However, not all these years have been peaceful. Octavian waged a long civil war egainst Mark Anthony and others. After the war, he concentrated all power in his hands. He managed to restore order in the country, in the army, patronized writers.
1 line. Before his death, he said that The walls of Rome converted from brick to marble. During his reign, many monumental buildings were built and the aqueduct was reconstructed.
Decoding of the number 10.89. If the numbers to rearrange – 19.08, then it will be the day and month of Augustus’s death.
Quatrain 2.32* The monster of Ravenna
Laict, sang, grenouilles (d)esco(e)ndre en Dalmatie!
Conflit donne, peste preste, de baleine
Cry sera grand par toute Esclauonie,
Lors naistra monstre pres & dedans Rauenne.
Milk, frogs, blood will spilled in Dalmatia!
Conflict given, plague near Treglia:
A great cry will sound through all Slavonia,
Then a monster will be born near and within Ravenna.
There is a legend that in 1511 or 1512 a monster was born near the Italian city of Ravenna. He had a horn on his head, wings like a bat and legs (leg) of a bird. In 1512, near Ravenna, there was a great bloody battle between the French and Spanish-papal forces.
In history, quite a lot of cases of animal rains have been recorded, as well as milky and «bloody» rains. Tornadoes can lift to a great height and carry very heavy objects, which then fall to the ground.
Is it difficult to say whether this quatrain relates to the events of 1512 or does it tell the future?
Quatrain 8.7 The Italian Wars
Verceil, Milan donra intelligence,
Dedans Tycin sera faite la paye.
Courir par Seine eau, sang feu par Florence,
Vnique choir d’hault en bas faisant maye.
Vercelli, Milan will give the news,
the wound will be given at Pavia.
To run in the Seine, water, blood and fire through Florence,
the unique one falling from high to low calling for help.
The Italian Wars (1494-1559) – a struggle for the possession of the peninsula between France and Spain and other states. In 1553 Henry II attacked Florence, but was defeated. Military operations were carried out both in Italy and in France. In 1559 these wars ended in accordance with the Cato-Cambresian peace treaty. France lost almost all of its positions in Italy. Spain, by contrast, gained almost complete control of the peninsula, including Milan.
Line 4 about the wound of Henry II in the eye at a knightly tournament and about falling from a horse. The tournament was held in honor of the wedding of the French princess and the king of Spain. This wedding was part of a peace treaty.
Decoding of the number 8.7. If 1 to put in front and to consider as 1000, then 1000-78=922. Turning 22 over in 55, the reverse order we get 559 – the year of the peace treaty.
Quatrain 3.38 Agreement in Cateau-Cambrésis
La gent Gauloise & nation estrange,
Outre les monts morts, prins & profligez:
Au moys contraire & proche de vendange
Par les Seigneurs en accord redigez.
The Gallic people and a foreign nation
Across the mountains, dead, captured and killed:
In the contrary month and near vintage time,
Seniors will sign an agreement.
1.2 lines. In 1551 France declared war on Spain and invaded Lorraine. These countries share the Pyrenees mountains. At the beginning, French troops, under the command of Francois de Guise, acted successfully. But in 1557 Spain defeated the French at the Battle of Saint-Quentin. Many French nobles were captured by the Spanish.
In France, grapes are harvested in September – October. The third line may indicate 2 months: month and near vintage time is August, when there was a battle at Saint-Quentin; contrary month is April when the peace treaty was concluded. Italian wars were ended. They lasted intermittently for more than 60 years. France was defeated, and Spain gained almost complete control of the Apennine peninsula.
Communication with other quatrains: 3.43, 2.80.
Decoding of number 3.38. If 3 to consider as 300, then 300-38=262. Turn over all numbers – 595, rearrange – 559, 1 put in front and get 1559, 3 – day, April is in the 3rd line – the full date of agreement in Cateau-Cambrésis.
Quatrain 5.3 Cosimo I of the Medici
Le successeur de la Duché viendra,
Beaucoup plus outre que la mer de Toscane,
Gauloise branche la Florence tiendra,
Dans son giron d’accord nautique Rane.
The successor to the Duchy will come,
Mach more oversees than the Tuscan Sea:
A Gaulish branch will hold Florence,
In its scope of agreement nautical Rane.
The 1 line. Cosimo I of the Medici (1519-1574) was the ancestor of the most rich and noble Italian family Medici. Charles V made Cosimo the hereditary Duke of Florence in 1537. In 1569 Pope Pius V in Rome crowned him the Grand Duke of Tuscany. During his reign, the duchy flourished: its territory doubled, the fleet was built and the Uffizi gallery.
The 3 line. The Medici family gave the French two queens: Catherine, the wife of Henry II and Maria the wife of Henry IV. From the second pair began a new branch of the kings of France – the Bourbon.
Linkage with other quatrains: 5.6.
Probable decoding of number 5.3. 500-3=497, if 4 to put at the end, to flip 9 in 6, 6-1=5 then we will get 574 – the year of death.
Quatrain 5.76* Pope Sixtus V
En lieu libere tendra son pauillon,
Et ne voudra en citez prendre place:
Aix, Carpen, l’Isle volce mont Cauaillon
Par tout les lieux abolira la trasse.
In a free place will he pitch his tent,
And he will not want to lodge in the cities:
Aix, Carpentras, L’Isle, Vaucluse ‘Mont,’ Cavaillon,
Throughout all these places will he abolish his trace.
Perhaps this is the prediction about Pope Sixtus V (1521-1590). Somehow, meeting with the unknown young monk Felice Peretti, Nostradamus appealed to him as a Pope, which caused bewilderment. However, it was not accidental. The prophet knew the future. In 1585 after Gregory VIII, Peretti was elected Pope. He pursued a very militant policy. The places listed in the third line were either papal possessions or adjoined to them.
The 4 line. The people did not like him. After death they said: «Fra Felice has taken the devil.» All his lifetime monuments were destroyed.
Decoding of the number 5.76. If 6 to consider as 600 and to flip 5 in 2, then 600-72=528, flip 2 in 5 and 5 is put at the end, 1 is put at the ahead we will get 1585 – the year of election.
Quatrain 10.18[2] The events of 1590
Le ranc Lorrain fera place a Vandosme,
Le hault mis bas, & le bas mis en hault,
Le fils d’Hamon sera esleu dans Rome,
Et les deux grands seront mis en defaut.
The house of Lorraine will make way for Vendôme,
The high put low, and the low put high:
The son of Hammon will be elected in Rome,
And the two great ones will be put at a loss.
The 1 line. The French King Henry III had no heirs. The pretenders to the throne were Henry Navarre de Vendôme and Henry, duke of Guise of Lorraine. D’Guise had the greatest popularity among the people. By order of the king, he was killed. Henry de Vendôme became the only pretender to the throne, after the killing of the king.
The 2 line. Before his death the king announced his successor de Vendôme, but neither the people nor the nobility not wanted such a king. Paris was closed to him. Five years he fought for the throne. In 1590 in the battle of Ivry la Bataille he won a decisive victory over the superior forces of the enemy. This victory helped him to gain supporters and in the future to become king Henry IV.
The 3:line. In 1590 Pope Gregory XIV was elected.
The 4 line. Presumably, the two leaders are the two main enemies of Henry of Navarre: Carl of Lorraine and his ally Spain. They were defeated.
Linkage with other quatrains: 9.50, 9.45.
Decoding of the number 10.18. 1000-18=982. If to flip 2 in 5, then by swapping these numbers we will get 589+1=590 – the year of events.
Quatrain 4.73 Ferrara
Le nepueu grand par forces prouuera,
Le pache fait du c?ur pusillanime:
Ferrare & Ast le Duc esprouuera,
Par lors qu’au soir fera la pantomine,
Noble nephew will prove by force
A sin committed by a petty heart
He will test Ferrara and the Duke of Este,
When the pantomime will take place in the evening.
Ferrara was the capital of several generations of the Dukes of d’Este. Her last duke Alfonso II died 10/27/1597 leaving no heirs. He chose Caesar, the son of Alphonse I d’Este and his favorite Laura Dianti, as his successor. However, Pope Clement VIII did not recognize this inheritance as legal, since Caesar was born not in marriage, but in sin. He annexed Ferrara to the papal region. Against Caesar, he sent an army under the command of his nephew Aldobrandini. The capital of the Dukes d’Este was forced to move to Modena. Under the rule of Pope Ferrara began to decline rapidly, its population declined by a third.
Decoding of number 4.73. The numbers rearrange – 743. If 7 to consider as 700, then 700-43=657. Turn 6 over in 9, the numbers to rearrange again – 597, 1 put first and get 1597.
Quatrain 1.6 Ravenna
L’?il de Rauenne sera destitue,
Quand а ses pieds les aisles failliront,
Les deux de Bresse auront constitue,
Turin, Verseil, que Gaulois foulleront.
The eye of Ravenna will be forsaken,
when his wings will fail at his feet.
The two of Bresse will have made a constition
for Turin and Vercelli, which the French will trample underfoot.
Ravenna is a city in the north-east of Italy. From the time of the Great Roman Empire it was a thriving city, a religious and cultural center. In 1512 Ravenna suffered greatly from the French during the Cambrai War. After this the fall into decay began.
The 1 line. The city is located in the lowlands, just 10 km from the sea, the city and the surrounding fields began flooded in the 17th century. In 1636 the sea flooded Ravenna. The water flooded the central streets. Thanks to the efforts of the papacy, the city managed to drain by the network of canals. The 2 line can be understood as a symbolic expression, meaning decay.
In the 4th line Turin is mentioned – a large city in the north of Italy, in the 16th – 18th centuries was the capital of the Duchy of Savoy. In 1601 France transmited the duchy of Saluzzo Margrave to the Savoyar, located near Turin. In exchange, she received the territory between Dauphine and Burgundy, including Bress. As predicted, Henry IV at Versailles, and Carl Emanuel I in Turin made a very reasonable exchange. Each side received those lands that are closer to it.
Decoding of the number 1.6. If 16 consider as 1600 and add 1 then we will get 1601 – the year of exchange.
Quatrain 2.15 The pope Paul V
Vn peu deuant monarque trucidé,
Castor Pollux en nef, astre crinite,
L’erain public par terre & mer vuidé,
Pise, ast, Ferrare, Turin, terre interdicte.
Shortly before the monarch is assassinated,
Castor Pollux in the ship, bearded star,
The public treasury emptied by land and sea,
Pisa, Asti, Ferrara, Turin, land under interdict.
The events predicted here cover a period of 5 years from 1605 to 1610.
1 line. In 1610 king Henry IV of France was assassinated by a religious fanatic.
2 line. Paul V (17.08.1552-28.01.1621) became the Pope on 16.05.1605 – 5 years before the death of the French king. His Latin name Paulus is consonant with Pollux in quatrain. In the ship – the boat of St. Peter the Apostle was considered a symbol of the papacy. Castor translates as beaver and beaver fur. Perhaps he was used in the clothes of the pontiff? Bearded star – in 1607 Halley’s comet passed near the Earth.
This Pope persecuted progressive astronomical discoveries, he forced Galileo to renounce his teachings.
4 line. lnterdicte – in 1608 Paul V imposed an interdict on the Venetian Republic, but soon canceled it. This was the last interdict of the papacy.
Castor & Pollux are also in quatrain 2.90. In ancient Greek mythology, these are twin brothers – an allegory two Christian religions: Catholicism and Protestantism.
Decoding of number 2.15. If 5+1=6 and 6 to put in front, then 621 – year, 1 – month of the death of Paul V.
Quatrain 10.32 Pope Gregory XV
Le grand empire chacun an deuoit estre,
Vn sur les autres le viendra obtenir,
Mais peu de temps sera son regne & estre,
Deux ans aux naues se pourra soustenir.
The great empire every year must to be,
One will come to obtain it over the others:
But his realm and state will be of short duration,
Two years will he be able to maintain himself on the ships.
The 4th line mentions a ship (the rook of St. Peter) symbolizing the papacy. The pope is elected by a conclave of cardinals for the rest of his life. Gregory XV (09.01.1554-08.07.1623) was pope for 2 years from 09.02.1621.This pope appointed his nepos Richelieu cardinal of France, who actually ruled the country. Gregory XV assisted in the struggle against the Ottomans and Protestants, commuted the punishment far sorcerers and witches.
Decoding of number 10.32. 10-1=9 (932). Turning 9 on 6 and rearranging 3 and 2, we get 623-year of death.
Quatrain 9.42 Plague on Sicily
De Barcelonne, de Gennes & Venise,
De la Secille peste Monet vnis,
Contre Barbare classe prendront la vise,
Barbar poulsé bien loing iusqu’à Thunis.
From Barcelona, from Genoa and Venice,
From Sicily pestilence Monaco joined:
Contact will be received from the Barbarian fleet,
Barbarian driven ‘way back as far as Tunis.
A ship from Tunisia brought plague to Sicily in 1624. It brought to Palermo Christian captives and gifts for the king. Out of greed, the king let the ship in, which was not allowed in other places. A third of the city’s population died. The plague spread further. The relics of St. Rosalia, found in a cave on the mountain, saved the city. They were carried around the city on July 15. The plague ceased miraculously. This day is celebrated in Palermo as a holiday.
Decoding of the number 9.42. lf 9 to flip in 6, the numbers to rearrange – 624, 1 to put in front, then it will be 1624 – year of pestilence on Sicily.
Quatrain 5.56 Pope Alexander VII
Par le trespas du tres vieillard pontife,
Sera esleu Romain de bon aage:
Qu’il sera dit que le Siege debiffe
Et long tiendra & de picquant ouurage.
Through the death of the very old Pontiff
A Roman of good age will be elected,
Of him it will be said that he weakens his see,
But long will he sit and in biting activity.
The 1 line. Innocent X (1574-1655) – the Pope from 1644, died at the age of 81 years.
The 2 line. The next pope was elected Alexander VII (1599-1667) at the age of 56 years. For the Pope he was relatively young – 25 years younger than his predecessor. In this line there is a mismatch: Alexander was born in Tuscany, but not in Rome.
The 3 line. Alexander did not have a relationship with France. Cardinal Mazarin had a great influence at the young Louis XIV. He did not approve of the choice of the new pope, and dissuaded Louis to send a traditional embassy to Rome with congratulations. In conflict with France the Pope temporarily lost Avignon and Venicen.
The 4 line. Alexander VII for 12 years occupied the papal throne. Apparently, «in biting activity» should be understood the conflict between the pope and France, which at that time reached its greatest power. Alexander did not like to do work, he was more interested of science and art. A lot of attention he paid to architecture. For his money some churches were decorated, and a beautiful colonnade was built in Rome.
Decoding of the number 5.56. If 1 to put at the ahead and 55 to put at the end, then we will get 1655 – the year of change pope.
Quatrain 5.39 Francis I Stefan
Du vray rameau des fleurs de lys yssu,
Mis & loge heritier d’Herutrie:
Son sang antique de longue main yssu,
Fera Florence florir en l’ermoirie.
Issued from the true branch of the fleur-de-lis,
Placed and lodged as heir of Etruria:
His ancient blood woven by long hand,
He will cause the escutcheon of Florence to bloom.
Etruria is the more ancient name of Tuscany, an area in the north-west of Italy. Florence is the capital of Tuscany. For several centuries Medici clan, richest in Italy, ruled Toscana. He was succeeded by dynasty of the Habsburgs. The first of these became Francis I Stefan (1708-1765) – Duke of Lorraine from 1729. He descended from the ancient lineage of the Carolingians – the first kings in the territory of present-day France. The flower of a lily is a symbol of France, there is on its emblem. In 1737 instead of Lorraine he received the duchy Tuscany. With his young wife he came to Florence, but soon they were forced to return to Vienna.
The 4 line. In 1745, remaining the Grand Duke of Tuscany, he received the highest of titles – the emperor of the Holy Roman Empire.
Probable decoding of number 5.39. If flip 5 in 2 and 9 in 6 then 2000-63=1937. 9 flip in 6, 6+1=7 we will get 1737 – the year of getting the duchy Tuscany.
Quatrain 9.35 Maria Carolina of Austria
Et Ferdinand blonde sera descorte,
Quitter la fleur, suyure le Macedon,
Au grand besoing defaillira sa routte,
Et marchera contre le Myrmiden.
And fair Ferdinand will be detached,
To abandon the flower, to follow the Macedonian:
In the great pinch her course will fail,
And she will march against the Myrmidons.
Presumably, this prophecy about Maria Carolina of Austria (1752-1814) – queen of both Sicilies from 1768. She was the wife of King Ferdinand IV. There were never any particularly good relations between them. She was a leader in the family and in politics. After the execution of her sister in France, the kingdom joined all anti-French coalitions. The Queen relied on an alliance with England. The wife of the British ambassador Lady Hamilton became her closest friend.
The 2 line. Maybe Noldradamus calls Nelson a Macedonian? Like Alexander, he was a winner. In 1798, when Naples was captured by the French, the royal family fled with the Hamilton on Nelson’s ship. They returned when Admiral Ushakov liberated Naples. Both ladies, Queen and Emma Hamilton, were the initiators of terror against the Republicans.
«Abandon the flower»: People did not like Maria Carolina. The king, with the years, lost interest in her. In 1811, on the advice of the English ambassador, Ferdinand sent his wife home to Vienna.
Another possible version of the interpretation of this quatrain is Emma Hamilton. For 14 years, friendship has united the destinies of these 2 ladies.
Linkage with other quatrains: 7.09.
Probable decoding of number 9.35. If 9-1=8, flip 5 in 2 (832) then 800-32=768 – the year when she became of queen.
Quatrain 3.32 Italian campaign of 1796
Le grand sepulchre du peuple Aquitanique
S’approchera aupres de la Toscane:
Quand Mars sera pres du coing Germanique,
Et au terroir de la gent Mantuane.
The great tomb of the people of Aquitaine
Will approach near to Tuscany,
When Mars will be in the corner of Germany
And in the land of the Mantuan people.
The 1 line. Aquitaine is a province in the south-west of France. Perhaps in the quatrain predicted the Italian campaign of 1796 of Napoleon I. Perhaps in his army there were many Aquitans. Burial are to those, who killed during the occupation of northern Italy.
The 3 line. In the north of Italy the enemy of France was Austria. Mantua – a well fortified fortress of the Austrians was taken by Napoleon I with great difficulty.
Linkage with other quatrains: 3.37, 2.99.
Decoding of the number 3.32. If 2 to consider as 2000 then 2000-33=1967, 7 is put before 9 we will get 1796 – the year of 1 Italian campaign.
Quatrain 3.37* Capture of Milan
Auant l’assaut oraison prononcee,
Milan prins d’Aigle par embusches deceus:
Muraille antique par canons enfoncee,
Par feu & sang a mercy peu receus.
The speech delivered before the attack,
Milan taken by the Eagle through deceptive ambushes:
Ancient wall driven in by cannons,
Through fire and blood few given quarter.
Perhaps this is a prophecy about the capture of Milan by Napoleon I in 1796. Before the assault, a speech was delivered in which he promised the soldiers enrichment. Indeed, due to the robbery of the occupied territories, he clothed and fed the army. Eagle, presumably, an image on the flag or the coat of arms of one of the belligerents.
Linkage with other quatrains: 2.99.
The 3 line. Milan had ancient defensive fortifications. Napoleon I, of course, used artillery during the assault.
Decoding of the number 3.37. If 7 to consider as 700, then 700-33=667. 6 flip in 9, 1 and 7 are put at the ahead we will get 1796 – the year of capture.
Quatrain 2.99 Italy troubled by Gauls
Terroir Romain qu’interpretoit augure,
Par gent Gauloise par trop sera vexee
Mais nation Celtique craindra l’heure,
Boreas, classe trop loing l’auoir poussee.
Roman land as the omen interpreted
Will be vexed too much by the Gallic people:
But the Celtic nation will fear the hour,
The fleet has been pushed too far by the north wind.
The 1-2 lines. In 1796-1797 there was the Italian campaign of Napoleon I. Perhaps Nostradamus predicted it. Napoleon acted very successfully in the north of Italy.
The 4 line. Boreas is the north wind, thanks to which the French fleet ferried a huge army to Egypt in 1798. There the French won victories until the British under Nelson’s command destroyed nearly all of their ships. The French army was very far from the homeland in a desperate situation.
Linkage with other quatrains: 8.92, 3.37.
Decoding of the number 2.99. If 9 to consider as 9000, then 9000-29=8971; by swapping these numbers we will get 1798-1=1797 – the year of ended Italyan campaign.
Quatrain 1.24 1799 year
A Cite neufue pensif pour condamner,
L’oysel de proye au ciel, se vient offrir
Apres victoire a captifs pardonner,
Cremone & Mantoue grand maux aura a (souffrir.
In a New City the thinker (will) condemned,
the bird of prey offers himself to the gods.
After victory he pardons his captives.
At Cremona and Mantua great hardships will be suffered.
Of all the executed scientists, Domenico Cirillo is suitable for this quatrain. He was a professor of botany and medicine at the University of Naples. As an entomologist, he studied the biology of insects in the vicinity of Naples. He did not get much fame, so the question arises: did Nostradamus predict his in this prophecy?
In 1799, Cirillo was convicted and executed in Naples for political reasons. The name of this city is translated from Ancient Greek as a new city, which corresponds to the first line of the quatrain.
The 3 and 4 lines, possibly, refer to the war of the 2nd coalition, during which extensive military operations were carried out on the territory of Italy. In many ways thanks to the talent of Ushakov and Suvorov almost all of Italy was liberated from the French. Suvorov was loyal to the prisoners. After the capture of Milan he organized a celebration, to which were invited and captured French officers. Then he forgave them and let them go. On 28.06.1799 Mantua was taken. Perhaps Cremona was in the war zone. After the departure of the Russian troops, Napoleon again seized Italy.
Linkage with other quatrains: 5.20.
Decoding of the number 1.24. 1000-24=976. If 6 flip in 9, 1 and 7 are put at the ahead then we will get 1799 – the year, when Cirillo was convicted and Mantua was captured.
Quatrain 8.9 War of 2nd coalition?
Pendant que l’Aigle & le Coq a Sauone
Seront vnis, Mer, Leuant & Ongrie.
L’armee a Naples, Palerme, Marque d’Ancone
Rome, Venise par Barbe horrible crie.
While the Eagle and the Cock will be at Savonna,
The Sea, Levant and Hungary will united.
The army at Naples, Palermo, March of Ancona,
Rome, Venice through Barbe a terrible screams.
All listed cities are located in Italy. The Eagle and the Cock it is Austria and France, which at the 17 century fought for the possession of northern Italy. Rome and Ancona belonged to the Papal states, which Bonaparte seized and exiled Pope in Savonna.
2 line. The French called Syria, Turkey, some countries of North Africa as Levant, i.e. Ottoman Empire. Perhaps this refers to the unification of the Ottoman and Russian fleets during the war of 2nd coalition. True, Hungary does not fit into this context.
In 1799 the Napoleonic army captured Naples, and his king fled to Palermo in the ship of Nelson. Ushakov freed Naples from the French, but not for long – a year later Napoleon again captured Italy.
Barbe is the patroness of artillery, miners, etc. The Napoleonic army was especially strong with its artillery. The last line probably predicted military operations between the French army and the Russian-Austrian army under the command of Suvorov in 1799.
Possible decoding of the number 8.9. If 8 to concider as 8000, then 8000-9=7991. Moving 1 forward, we get the year 1799.
Quatrain 8.99 Pope Pius VI
Par la puissance des trois Roys temporels,
En autre lieu sera mis le saint siege:
Ou la substance de l’esprit corporel,
Sera remis & receu pour vray siege.
Through the power of three temporal kings,
The sacred seat will be put in another place,
Where the substance of the body and the spirit
Will be restored and received as the true seat.
Pius VI (27.12.1717-29.08.1799) was the Pope from 15.02.1775.
Through the power of three temporal kings. In 1796, Napoleon I invaded Italy and captured the Papal region. The Pope hoped for the help of the Bourbons and Austria, but no one helped him.
Will be restored and received as the true seat. Pius VI was captured and held first in Siena, then in the fortress of Valence, where he died.
The last two lines about the death of the Pope, i.e. the movement of the spirit to a true receptacle in another world.
Linkage with other quatrains: 2.97.
Decoding of number 8.99. 8-1 = 7. 799 – the year, 8 – month of death of the Pope.
Quatrain 2.97[2] Pius VI disease
Romain Pontife garde de t’aprocher,
De la cite qui deux fleuues arrouse:
Ton sang viendras aupres de la cracher
Toy & les tiens quand fleurira la rose.
Roman Pontiff beware of approaching
The city that two rivers flow through,
Near there you will spit blood,
You and yours when the rose will flourish.
The city that two rivers flow through it is Valence, located at the confluence of Isere and the Rhone.
Roman Pontiff it is Pius VI. He did not want to give up secular power when Berthier proclaimed the Roman Republic, and was captured by order of Napoleon I. The old and sick Pope was transported several times from one city to another. In Valence vomiting blood began of him, and be died on 29 August 1799.
The last line indicates daylight saving time. The pope died in August – apparently he was sick in the summer.
Connection with other quatrains: 8.99.
Decoding of number 2.97. Let’s rearrange the numbers – 729. If 7 to consider as 7000, then 7000-29=6971. Turn over 6 in 9, in the reverse order will be 1799 – the year, 29 – the day of death.
Quatrain 3.33 Rome in 1799
En la cite ou le loup entrera,
Bien pres de la les ennemis seront:
Copie estrange grand pays gastera,
Aux monts & Alpes les amis passeront.
In the city where the wolf will enter,
Very near there will the enemies be:
Foreign army will spoil a great country.
The friends will pass at the wall and Alps.
The first line probably refers to the Capitoline she-wolf – an ancient bronze sculpture stored in museums in Rome.
In 1796 Italy was captured by the French, who badly robbed its.
4th line. In 1799 the Russian army under the command of Suvorov and the fleet led by Ushakov, as part of the forces of the anti-French coalition, liberated Italy. When Russian troops entered Rome, the local population greeted them enthusiastically. They shouted: «Vivat Muscovite! These are those whom the French are afraid of.» The Italians considered the Russians friends, liberators, defenders.
Decoding of number 3.33. If 3 to consider as 3000, then 3000-33=2967. 2-1=1, Turn 6 over in 9 (1997), rearranging 7 to the second position, we get 1799 – the year of the campaign of Suvorov and Ushakov.
Quatrain 5.44 The struggle for Rome
Par mer le rouge sera prins des pyrates,
La paix sera par son moyen troublee:
L’ire & l’auare commettra par sainct acte,
Au grand Pontife sera l’armee doublee.
On sea the red one will be taken by pirates,
Because of him peace will be troubled:
Anger and greed will commit a false act,
The army doubled by the great Pontiff.
Presumably, the first line about the landing in Sicily thousands of volunteers under the command of Giuseppe Garibaldi. They sailed on two ships in 1860. They were dressed in red shirts. Their purposes were to drive out the Bourbons and the Sicily to join to Piedmont. The Garibaldi fought successfully, liberating one city after another. Their number rapidly increased due to the population.
The 2 line. After the liberation of Sicily and Sardinia, Garibaldi decided to march on Rome in 1862. The prime minister of Piedmont Cavour who recognized the merits of Garibaldi became a barrier to his path. He was afraid of strengthening the revolutionary movement. The prime minister entered into a secret collusion with Napoleon III in order to prevent the invasion of the volunteer army in the central regions.
The 4 line. Pope Pius IX did not want Rome to become the capital of Italy. In 1860 the military formation of the papal zouaves was formed to protect the papal region. It consisted of volunteers of Catholics of different nationalities. The Pope also asked France not to withdraw its troops from Rome. Nevertheless, as you know, Rome became the capital.

Quatrain 4.77 Unification of Italy
Selin maonarque, l’Italie pacifique,
Regnes vnis Roy chrestien du monde:
Mourant voudra coucher en terre belsique
Apres pyrates auoir chassé de l’onde.
Selin’ monarch, Italy peaceful,
The reigns united by the Christian King of the World:
Dying he will want to lie in Blois soil,
After having chased the pirates from the sea.
The 1 line. For several centuries, Italy was divided into parts, which were owned at different times by Spain, France, Austria, Prussia, etc. Only in 1861 Italy united. Its first monarch, according to the will of the people, was Victor Emmanuel II (1820-1878). Prior to unification, he was king of the Sardinian Kingdom (Piedmont) from 1849. He made great efforts to unite the country.
The 2 line. At the beginning of the XIX century, the Apennine peninsula was divided into 8 states. Thanks to successful military operations against Austria in 1860 Victor Emmanuel annexed the duchies of Modena, Tuscany, Parma to Sardinia. A significant contribution to the unification of Italy was made by the Prime minister of Sardinia, Camillo Cavour, as well as the famous freedom fighter Giuseppe Garibaldi. In 1859 he could to raise the people under his banners and free Sicily and Naples from the French. These lands also came under the authority of Victor Emmanuel. As a result of the peace treaty in 1862 France transmit Venice to Italy. Rome for 9 more years remained in the state of the pope. Only in 1871 he became the capital of a united Italy. In the history of Italy, this king entered as a great fighter for the unification of the country.

Probable decoding of number 4.77. If 7 consider as 700 then 700-74=626, flip 6 in 9, 9-1=8; by swapping 26 in 62 we will get 862 – the year liberation of Italy from the last invaders.
Quatrain 8.31 Accession of Venice
Premier grand fruict le Prince de Pesquiere:
Mais puis viendra bien & cruel malin,
Dedans Venise perdra sa gloire fiere,
Et mis à mal par plus ioyue Celin.
The first great fruit of the prince of Perchiera,
then will come a cruel and wicked man.
In Venice he will lose his proud glory,
and is led into evil by then younger Selin.
During the reunification of Italy, described in the interpretation of quatrain 4.77, Venice was joined in 1866. In the previous quatrain Nostradamus calls Victor Immanuel II as Selin the monarch of a united Italy. In this quatrain the prophet also calls him Selin. Venice became part of his kingdom. Prior to joining, Venice was under the rule of Austria, but was fighting it. In 1848 the Venetian Republic was created, which lasted a year.

Quatrain 6.38 The conquest of Italy
Aux profligez de paix les ennemis,
Apres auoir l’Italie supperee:
Noir sanguinaire, rouge sera commis,
Feu, sang verser, eau de sang coloree.
The enemies of peace to the profligates,
After having conquered Italy:
The bloodthirsty black one, red, will be exposed,
Fire, blood shed, water colored by blood.
Perhaps this is a prophecy about the unification of Italy. The revolutionary movement in the south of the country was headed by Giuseppe Garibaldi – the red one. He and his militiamen wore red shirts. Black is Camillo Cavour – the first prime minister of Italy. In all portraits he is dressed in a black suit. This is not the first quatrain, where Nostradamus correctly indicated the color of the clothes. Cavour was the head of the government of Sardinia and played an important political role in the unification of the peninsula. The struggle for a united Italy was accompanied by rebellions, fires, bloody battles. It ended in 1971, when Rome became the capital.
Linkage with other quatrains: 4.77, 5.44, 8.31.
Decoding of the number 6.38. If 6 to flip in 9, 900-83=817, swap 17 in 71, 1 to put in front, then we get 1871 – the year, when Rome became capital of Italy.
Quatrain 5.22 Pope Gregory XVI
Auant qu’a Rome grand ait rendu l’ame,
Effrayeur grande à l’armee estrangere:
Par escadrons l’embusche pres de Parme,
Puis les deux rouges ensemble feront chere.
Before the great one has given up the ghost at Rome,
Great terror for the foreign army:
The ambush by squadrons near Parma,
Then the two red ones will celebrate together.
The 1 line, perhaps, about Pope Gregory XVI (1765-1846). He became a pope in 1831. The period of his papacy coincided with the revolutionary movement in Italy, which sought to overthrow the old order. The revolution also reached the papal region. It was clear that without external help the pope can not protect his possessions.
The third line is probably about the revolutionary unrest in the Parma region in 1846, 1848, which were suppressed by the Austrian troops. In 1847 Maria-Louise the ruler of Parma died. She was replaced by Charles II.
After the death of Gregory XVI in 1846 was elected Pope Pius IX. His liberal reforms were received with great optimism by the Italian patriots. Mazzini, also from exile, applauded the reforms of Pius IX.
The 4 line can be interpreted as celebrated together. Two reds – one can assume Garibaldi, who wore a red shirt. Perhaps, it mean the pope or the cardinals, who also wore red clothes.
Decoding of the number 5.22. 500-22 = 478, 8 is put at the ahead, 847-1=846 – the year of change pope.

Grand hecatombe, trumphe, faire festes.
Naples, Palermo, Sicily, Syracuse,
New tyrants, celestial lightning fires:
Force from London, Ghent, Brussels and Susa,
Great slaughter, triumph leads to festivities.
The new tyrants are probably Mussolini and Hitler, who established a fascist dictatorship in Italy. The 1 and 2 lines about the bombing of Italian cities by the allied forces of England and the United State. Naples is a strategic port from where of the Axis troops went to Africa. Its began to bomb in 1940, in 1942 the bombing intensified. A significant part of Palermo was destroyed by bombing. The city of Syracuse was also bombed. Its inhabitants hid during raids in the ancient catacombs. Sicily was subjected to the most powerful bombing.
The third line, most likely, about the liberation of Italy by the Allied forces in 1945. The number of dead Italians during the dictatorship of Mussolini is estimated at about half a million.
The victory in World War II is the greatest holiday, not only for the victors, but for the defeated party as the mass extermination of people from both warring sides has ceased, and Peace for all has come.

The 2 line. To support the ally, Germany occupied northern Italy in September and liberated Mussolini.
In the third line the invasion to the Apennine peninsula in 1943 by the Allied troops of the USA and Great Britain was predicted. The lion is depicted on the coat of arms of Great Britain, and the eagle is on the coat of arms of the USA.
The 4 line. Field marshal Ruport commanded British troops. In 1943 he was 52 years old. Rome the Germans surrendered in the summer of 1944. Linkage with other quatrains: 2.16.

Quatrain 10.12 Pope John XXIII
Esleu en Pape, d’esleu sera mocqué,
Subit soudain esmeu prompt & timide,
Par trop bon doux à mourir prouoqué,
Crainte estainte la nuit de sa mort guide.
Elected as Pope, when elected he will be mocked,
Suddenly unexpectedly moved prompt and timid,
Through too much goodness and kindness provoked to die,
Fear extinguished the night of his death guided.
Pope John XXIII (1881-1963) was famous for his extraordinary kindness, he even received the nickname «good father Roncalli». Probably this is a prophecy about him. He was elected in 1958, at the age of 77, but felt healthy and active. Not everyone approved of his choice of name, since this name was already at Antipope, and 550 years no one took it. He pursued a policy of socialist Christianity. He fought for peace throughout the world, tried to help the poorest Christians.
He fell ill with stomach cancer, refused surgery, died in the evening. The according to the prophecy, there were hidden death circumstances, which are still unknown.

Por esleuer la croix du Pape enuie.
For four years the see will be held with some little good,
One libidinous in life will succeed to it:
Ravenna, Pisa and Verona will give support,
Longing to elevate the Papal cross.
The 1 line. Of all the Roman Popes, since the time of Nostradamus, to this phrase Pope John XXIII (1881-1963) is suitable, the Pope from 1958 (less than 5 years). All the rest were on the papal throne, or less than 4 years, or more than 5. He tried to make the Catholic Church a modern, appropriate developed civilization. He preached the peaceful coexistence of various social systems.
The 2 line. Pope Paul VI (1897-1978) replaced John XXIII in 1963. He often traveled and was nicknamed «Pope-pilgrim». The activities of this pope were often criticized, especially for the revision of the Trident Mass. A lot of gossip and rumors were around him.

Quatrain 5.13 Migration to Italy
Par grand fureur le Roy Romain Belgique,
Vexer voudra par phalange barbare:
Fureur grinçant chassera gent Lybique,
Depuis Pannons iusques Hercules la hare.
With great fury the King Roman Belgian
Will want to vex the barbarian with his phalanx:
Fury gnashing, he will chase the African people
From the Pannonias to the pillars of Hercules.
The political conflict in Libya (2011-2014), and then the intervention from the countries of the European Union and the USA led to a mass flight of the population to Europe. The nearest distance from Africa through the Mediterranean is the Italian island of Sicily. The first stream of refugees directed into it. The Libyan mafia made a lot of money on the refugee pass. In 2010 the number of emigrants exceeded 4 million (4%) of the Italian population.
The massive influx of refugees from North Africa has become a humanitarian catastrophe for Italy, and has caused great discontent among the population. Issues of mass migration of the Muslim population to Europe are decided by the European Union, whose summits are held in Brussels (Belgium). The Italian government is constantly asking for help, but the issue has not been resolved for several years.
New conflicts in the Middle East seemed to have disrupted the hornet’s nest. A new stream of Muslims poured into the Christian world, now through the Balkans. They settle throughout Europe, creating great problems for the host countries.
