The predictions about Spain
Quatrain 10.95 Philip II
Dans les Espagnes viedra Roy tres-puissant,
Par mer & terre subjugant or midy:
Ce mal sera, rabaissant le croissant,
Baisser les aesles a ceux du vendredy.
To the Spains will come a very powerful King,
By land and sea subjugating the South:
This evil will cause, lowering again the crescent,
Clipping the wings of those of Friday.
Most probably, this prophecy about Philip II (1527-1598) .He ruled 42 years from 1556, as King of Spain, Portugal, Sicily, Naples, the Netherlands and all Spanish colonies in Ameriсa. He had high efficiency, controlled all the many subordinate territories. himself took all the important decisions and appointments. He cruelly and mercilessly dealt with infidels and all who did not suit him.
The 2 line. Perhaps in this line the struggle of the monarch with the Moors who inhabited the south of Spain is predicted. Under the pressure of Philip, the Moriscos accepted Christianity outwardly, remaining faithful to Mohammed. The king understood this and in every way oppressed them and evicted them. This caused an uprising, which in 2 years was brutally suppressed. In 1560 Spain sent a navy to the shores of North Africa, but the Turkish fleet defeated the Spanish.
The 4 line. Friday is a festive day for Muslims. Philip II, as heir to the Great Roman Empire, considered it his sacred duty to protect and spread Catholicism. The Inquisition was one of the forms of combating heresy, which was particularly rampant. Throughout his reign, Philip periodically waged war against the Turks. Spain had a huge fleet of «Invincible Armada», which was destroyed by storm and British.

Quatrain 7.29 A monument erected
Le grand Duc d’Albe se viendra rebeller,
A ses grands peres fera le tradiment:
Le grand de Guise le viendra debeller,
Captif mene & dresse monument.
The great Duke of Alba will come to rebel,
he will betray his great forebears.
The great de Guise will come to vanquish him,
Captive led and a monument erected.
Presumably, this quatrain is about the siege of Metz by the Spaniards (1552-1553) during the 10th Italian War. The grand duke of Alba (29.10.1507-11.12.1582) commanded the Spanish troops. The duke de Guise led the defense of the fortress. Many noble nobles of France also participated in it. The French launched a sortie and won a decisive victory with minimal losses. The Spaniards suffered huge losses and fled, leaving behind the sick and wounded. De Guise organized assistance to the wounded prisoners.
Alba won a victory in Belgium in 1568 and erected a monument to himself in Antwerp.
Probable decoding of number 7.29. If 2 to flip in 5, 9+1=10 (7510), then the permutation gives 1507 – the year, 29 – the birthday of the duke Alba.
Quatrain 3.43 Duke of Alba
Gens d’alentour de Tarn, Loth & Garonne
Gardez les monts Appennines passer,
Vostre tombeau pres de Rome & d’Anconne
Le noir poil crespe fera trophee dresser.
People from around the Tarn, Lot and Garonne
Beware of passing the Apennine mountains:
Your tomb near Rome and Ancona,
The black frizzled hair will have a trophy set up.
In March 1557 the French army, led by François de Guise, crossed the Apennine mountains with the aim of capturing Naples. The Spaniards were their enemy, led by the Duke of Alba. He had black frizzled hair. The French arrived in Rome 03 March1557,
Alba defeated the French near Rome, and then in April – May near Civitella (at Nostradamus – Anconna). Pope Paul IV was forced to sign an alliance with Spain.
The Duke de Guise had the title of Lorraine (French: Lorraine, German: Lothringen). In the first line from the words Loth & Garonne you can make Lothringen. No only the letter i.
Connection with other quatrains: 3.38.
Decoding of number 3.43. If 3 to consider as 300, then 300-43=257. Turn 2 over in 5, 1 put in front and get 1557 – the year of Alba’s victories in Italy.
Quatrain 9.78 French princess
La dame Grecque de beaute laydique,
Heureuse faicte de proces innumerable,
Hors translatee au regne Hispanique,
Captiue prinse mourir mort miserable.
A lady with the Greek beauty of Laida,
Pleases countless fans:
(She) moved to the Spanish kingdom,
Captured die a miserable death.
Elizabeth Valois, French princess, was married to the king of Spain Philip II in 1559. She was so beautiful that the courtiers were afraid to look at her so as not to cause the jealousy of the king. She was unhappy in marriage and died very early at 23 in 1568.
Decoding of number 9.78. If 9 to consider as 900, then 900-78 = 822. Flip 22 in 55, 8 + 1 = 9, in the opposite order will be 559 – the year of the wedding.
Quatrain 3.20 Uprising of Moriscos
Par les contrees du grand fleuve Bethique
Loing d’Ibere au royaume de Grenade,
Croix repoussees par gens Mahometiques,
Vn de Cordube trahyra la contrade.
Through the regions of the great river Guadalquivir,
Deep in Iberia to the Kingdom of Grenada,
The crosses beaten back by the Mahometan peoples
One of Cordova will betray his country.
The 2 line. The Granada Emirate was inhabited primarily by Moriscos (of Arab origin) which professed Islam. In 1492 the emirate fell under the onslaught of Spanish troops. Granada has become the region of Spain. The river Betis, mentioned in the first line, flows here. Muslims were forcibly converted to Christianity. Moriscos (diminutive of the Moors) took Christianity outwardly, secretly remaining Muslims. Under Ferdinand II they were not particularly oppressed. They were allowed to lead a familiar way of life, mosques were preserved.
The 3 line. The situation of Muslims in Spain greatly deteriorated with the coming to power of Philip II, which led to the uprising of 1568-1571. They went to the mountains, forming detachments and exerting strong resistance. The uprising was brutally suppressed. After which many fled to America or Africa, 80,000 Moriscos were settled in different villages of Spain so that the connections between them were lost.
Linkage with other quatrains: 10.95.
Decoding of the number 3.20. If 300-02=298, flip 2 in 5 and 9 in 6, 1 is put at the ahead then we will get 1568 – the year of uprising.
Quatrain 8.25 Furtive love
The heart of the lover, awakened by furtive love,
Will ravish the lady in the stream.
Half the trouble will be against she lustful,
The father of each will deprive the body of its soul.
This prophecy reveals else secret of history that has not been made public until this time.
1 line. Don Carlos was secretly in love with his ex-bride Elisabeth of Valois, who became the wife of his father and Queen of Spain.
2 line. Young lovers will be together.
3 line. Terrible punishment befall Elisabeth for treason to her husband.
4 line. Philip II of Spain, father of Don Carlos, orders both lovers to be killed.
Connection with other quatrains: 10.35 – the murder of Don Carlos, 8.63 – the murder of the queen with a baby.
Decoding of the number 8.25. Rearrange the numbers – 528, flip 2 to 5, 5+1=6, we get 568 – the year of death of Carlos 24.07 and Elisabeth 03.10.
Quatrain 2.98 The murder of Don Carlos
Celuy du sang resperse le visage,
De la victime proche sacrifice,
Tonant /tonnant/ en leo augure presage,
Mais estre à mort lors pour la fiancee.
The one whose face is splattered with the blood
From the victim – soon sacrificed:
Jupiter in Leon, omen through presage:
To be put to death then for the bride.
1 line. Don Carlos was killed on 24 July 1568 in his chambers. The exhumation showed that the head was cut off, so the face is splattered with blood.
2 line. A few months later, Elisabeth became a new victim, poisoned during childbirth.
3 line. As Avgur Nostradamus predicted, the death occurred on July 24 – the zodiac sign Leo.
4 line. Philip II married the bride of his son, with whom he was in love. The result was a love triangle with a tragic denouement.
Decoding of the number 2.98. If 29 to flip in 56, 1 to put in the front, then 1568 is the year of murder Don Carlos.
Quatrain 8.63 Brutal jealous
Quand l’adultere blessé sans coup aura
Meurdry la femme & le fils par despit /depit/,

Huict captifs prins, s’estouffer sans respit.
When the adulterer wounded without a blow
Will have murdered his wife and son out of spite;
His wife knocked down, he will strangle the child;
Eight captives taken, choked beyond help.
Philip II, suspecting his wife and son of a love affair, established surveillance over them. Apparently, having learned of the betrayal, he arrested Don Carlos in his rooms on 17 January 1568. Queen Elisabeth, the wife of Philip, gave birth after 9.5 months on October 3. Officially, she died in an unsuccessful birth, but according to Nostradamus, a jealous husband cracked down on his wife and child. Don Carlos was killed 4 months earlier.
Perhaps the last line speaks of the elimination of all witnesses to these crimes.
Decoding of the number 8.63. If to rearrange the numbers – 368, 3-1 = 2, to flip 2 to 5 and we get 568 – the year of the death of Carlos and Elisabeth.
Quatrain 4.97[2] Philip II – monarch of Portugal
L’an que Mercure, Mars, Venus retrograde,
Du grand Monarque la ligne ne faillir,
Esleu du peuple l’vsitant pres de Gagdole,

The year that Mercury, Mars, Venus in retrogression,
The line of the great Monarch will not fail:
Elected by the Portuguese people near Cadiz,
One who will come to grow very old in peace and reign.
In the 1st line the year of events is indicated through the date of connection of 3 planets – it was 22 October 1579.
The line of the great Monarch will not fail: 14 April 1578 Philip III was born – the heir of Philip II, the great monarch of Spain.
3 line. Due to the lack of heirs, Philip II introduced his troops and proclaimed himself the monarch of Portugal. It was after the death in 1580 of the ruler of Portugal, Cardinal Enrique.
4 line. Very old — it is predicted a long life (71 years) and a long reign (33 years) of Philip II.
Linkage with other quatrains: 10.95, 9.89.
Decoding of number 4.97. 4+1=5. If the numbers to rearrange, then 579 – the year of the connection of Mercury, Mars and Venus.
Quatrain 9.89 Reign of Philip II
Sept ans sera Philip, fortune pre(o)spere(r),
Rabaissera des Barbares l’effort.
Puis son my(i)di perplex(e), rebours affaire,
Ieune ogmion abysmera son fort.
For seven years fortune will favor Philip,
He will beat down again the exertions of the Berbers:
Then at his noon perplexing contrary affair,
Young Ogmios will destroy his stronghold.
The 1 line. Philip II, king of Spain since 1556, was very successful at the beginning of his reign. He controlled vast territories in America, Italy, the Netherlands, and France. His fleet was the most powerful at that time.
The 2 line. Spain successfully fought against the Berbers in the 1560s on land and at sea.
In line 3 the expression at his noon can be understood as the middle of life. The revolution in the Netherlands in 1565 weakened the power of Philip. His affairs began to decline. His debts grew. In 1588 England defeated the «Invincible Armada.» Spain has ceased to be the «mistress of the seas.»
In the 4th line the young Ogmios is Henry IV. He declared war on Spain in 1595 and won. In May 1598 the Verwen Peace was signed. Philip II withdrew troops from all occupied French territories. He soon died in 09/13/1598.
Decoding of the number 9.89. 98 is the year, and 9 is the month of the death of Philip II. If 9 to turn over to 6, 6-1=5 (589), then the permutation of the numbers gives 598 year.
Quatrain 4.2 The Franco-Spanish War 1635-1659
Par mort la France prendra voyage à faire,
Classe par mer, marcher monts Pyrenees,
Espagne en trouble, marcher gent militaire,
Des plus grand; dames en France emmenees.
Because of death France will take to making a journey,
Fleet by sea, marching over the Pyrenees mountains,
Spain in trouble, military people marching:
Some of the greatest Ladies carried off to France.
The wars between France and Spain were conducted fairly regularly for several centuries. It is difficult to determine which of these refers to this quatrain. By deciphering the number a war was chosen, which France began in 1635 with the purpose of expanding its possessions.
The first line says about someone’s death. We can assume (without any certainty) that this is Gonzalo de Cordoba, a prominent Spanish commander, who participated in many battles against France. He died in February 1635.
The 2 line. Military operations were conducted, mainly, in the border areas in the Pyrenees, Flanders and on the sea.
The 4 line. As a result of the war, the peace treaty was concluded. Under the terms of the treaty, the French King Louis XIV should was to marry the daughter of the Spanish King Maria Theresa.
Decoding of the number 4.2. If 2 to flip in 5, 400-5=395, 1 to put in front, 9 to flip in 6 and to put before 3, then we get 1635 – the year of beginning war.
Quatrain 7.10 Philip V
Par le grand Prince limitrophe du Mans,
Preux & vaillant chef de grand exercite :
Par mer & terre de Gallois & Normans,
Caspre passer Barcelonne pille Isle.
By the great Prince bordering Mans,
brave and valiant leader of the great army;
by land and sea with Bretons and Normans,
Caspre pass Barcelona to pillage the island.
The 1 line. King of Spain Charles II declared his of heir the grandson of Louis XIV Philip, Duke of Anjou. The Anjou region in the west of France borders the city of Le Mans. Hence, this prophecy about the war for the Spanish inheritance (1701-1713). As a result of this war, Philip V became King of Spain.
The 2 line. Philip was only 17 years old when this war began. It went with varying success. There were periods of such severe defeats that even the great Louis XIV advised him to abandon Spain. But he survived and won. Philip V got an impoverished country with a very weak army. The French army and navy fought for the Spanish inheritance.
The 4 line. Perhaps this line about another contender for Spain – Archduke Charles of the Habsburg dynasty. In 1701 Barcelona rebelled, took the side of the Habsburgs and surrendered to the latter. Not only Barcelona, but also nearby regions and islands was captured by Charles.
Linkage with other quatrains: 9.64.
Decoding of the number 7.10. Year is indicated almost explicitly. If 1 is put at the ahead, swap 10 in 01 then we will get 1701 – the year of beginning war.
Quatrain 9.64 War of the Spanish Succession
L’Aemathion passer monts Pyrenées,
En Mars Narbon ne fera resistance,
Par mer & terre fera si grand menée,
Cap. n’ayant terre seure pour demeurance.
The Aemathion (will) pass the Pyrenees mountains,
In March Narbonne will not do resistance:
By land and sea he will carry on very great intrigue,
Cap. having no land safe for residence.
Perhaps this is a prophecy about the war for the Spanish succession (1701-1714). In that period Spain was having to some territories in Italy, the Netherlands and the colony in America. In 1701 King Charles II died. He pointed to Philip of Anjou as heir. Archduke Charles was another contender for the Spanish throne. His allies were England, Prussia, and others.
The 1 line. In the quatrain 10.7 Nostradamus calls of Louis XIV as Aemathion. In March 1704 the Allied fleet delivered the Archduke Charles with the army to the Pyrenean Peninsula. France did not have time to prepare its fleet, and not rendered resistance. However, the French army was already in Spain – crossed the Pyrenees mountains, which dividing these countries. The French army under the command of Berwick acted successfully, occupying the cities one by one. The most important object was Gibraltar. Here military operations were conducted both on land and at sea. The England got the strait.
This war was fought so long and in different countries of Europe that it is difficult to understand which episode is predicted here. As a result, Philip V became king of Spain. France made big concessions, and it lost its dominant importance in Europe.

Quatrain 5.23 Vienna Union 1725
Les deux contents seront vnis ensemble
Quant la pluspart a Mars sera conioinct:
Le grand d’Affrique en effrayeur & tremble,
Duumuirat par la classe desioint.
The two contented ones will be united together,
When for the most part they will be conjoined with Mars:
The great one of Africa trembles in terror,
Duumvirate dissolved by the fleet.
The 1 line. 04/04/1725 was concluded the Vienna Union of Spain and the Great Roman Empire (Charles VI) against France and England.
The 2 line. Mercury, Venus, Jupiter approached Mars on 03/17/1725.
The 4 line. The main goal of Spain at the conclusion of the union was the return of Gibraltar. However, the military campaign of 1727 did not bring success. In 1731 the union disintegrated.
Decoding of the number 5.23. If 3 to consider as 300, 300-25=275, 1 to put in front, to swap 27 in 72, then we get 1725 – the year of union.
Quatrain 8.26 The battle of Montserrat
De Caton es trouuez en Barselonne,
Mys descouuers lieu terrouers & ruyne,
Le grand qui tient ne tient voudra Pamplonne.
Par l’abbage de Montferrat bruyne.
The bones found in Caton of Barcelona,
Secret place discovered, terror and ruined.
The great one who holds not holds wants Pamplona,
drizzle at the abbey of Montserrat.
Barcelona is mentioned in the 1st line, near which is the abbey of Montserrat (4th line) – the main monastery of Spain. It belonged to the canton of Barcelona during the French occupation. In 1811 the base of Spanish partisans was not far from the monastery in the mountains. The French army found and captured this place and all the guns of the partisans. They destroyed and burned the monastery.
The third line is probably about Napoleon, who took possession of Spain, including the city of Pamplona was taken in 1808. The emperor could not hold this region, and in 1812 the Spaniards began to drove the French from their land.
Now the monastery was been restored and is functioning. It is often visited by tourists and pilgrims. (see photo)
Decoding of the number 8.26. The numbers rearrange – 286, flip 6 to 9 – 289. If 2 to consider as 2000, then 2000-89=1911. 9-1=8. We get 1811 – the year of the battle of Montserrat.
Quatrain 9.16 General Franco
De castel Franco sortira l’assemblee,
L’ambassadeur non plaisant fera scisme:
Ceux de Ribiere seront en la meslee,
Et au grand goulphre desnier ont l’entree.
Out of castle Franco will come the assembly,
The ambassador not agreeable will cause a schism:
Those of Riviera will be in the squabble,
And they will refuse entry to the great gulf.
The 1 line. In September 1936 the nationalists of Spain chose as their leader general Francisco Franco (1892-1975). His name Nostradamus indicates in the first line exactly, without changing a single letter – Franco. He became dictator and Generalissimo of Spain in 1939-1975.
The 3 line. The fascist party «Spanish phalanx», created by X.A. de Rivera, was involved in a civil war.
The 4 line. Almost all naval forces of the country supported the general: the battleship, 3 cruisers, 16 destroyers, all submarines. With its coming to power the fascist regime was established in the country, but Spain did not take part in the hostilities of World War II.
Decoding of the number 9.16. If 9+1=10 and consider as 1000, then 1000-61=939 – the year the establishment of the Franco dictatorship.
