Prophecies by Nostradamus

The great Empire will soon be desolated

And transferred to near the Ardennes:

Two bastards from the eldest will be removed.,

And Bronze beard the hawk-nose will reign.

Nostradamus often made mistakes in words. Perhaps the word Aeneodarb means Bronze beard. This fits to Ivan the Terrible: he had a hawk-nose and a bronze beard. In 1545 he was 15 years old. At that time it was considered an adult, and he became a full-fledged ruler.

The Ardennes forest has nothing to do with Russia. Perhaps it is used in the sense of allegory: empty as in the Ardennes forest.

Two bastards. The tzar had a younger brother, who retired to his estate. Presumably, the first wife of Ivan's father had a son also. He was born in a monastery where to first wife was exiled.

Perhaps the 1st line speaks of many executions, robberies and wars that devastated the country.

Decoding of the number 5.45. The year is explicit. If 1 to put in front, then 1545 – is the year that the reign began.

Quatrain 10.57 Ivan IV

Le subleue ne cognoistra son sceptre,

Les enfans ieunes des plus grands honnira:

Oncques ne fut vn plus ord cruel estre,

Pour leurs espouses a mort noir bannira.

The uplifted one will not know his scepter,

He will disgrace the young children of the greatest ones:

Never was there a more filthy and cruel being,

For their wives the king will banish them to death.

Ivan IV Vasilyevich (Terrible) 25.08.1530 – 18.03.1584, Tsar of Russia from 1547.

The 1 line. Several times during his reign, the tsar tried to abdicate, but returned every time. On January 3, 1565, being in Aleksandrovskaya Sloboda, he sent a letter about abdication to the clergy, boyar Duma and people. Probably, it was just a political maneuver. If he wanted to abjure, he would have done it.

The 3 line. Ivan IV not for nothing was called Terrible. His numerous executions were particularly cruel. His oprichniks captured and executed both ordinary people and boyars, sometimes killed whole families. The murders were accompanied by robberies and bribes. Such executions led to the disappearance of people and defeats in the war.

The 2 line. The Englishman, Jerome Gorsi, who knew the tsar, wrote that the tsar himself boasted that he had corrupted a thousand virgins and that thousands of his children were deprived of their lives. Everyone knows that he personally killed his son.

The 4 line. From 1571 to 1575 the he changed 5 wives. Four died a violent death, one was exile.

The 2nd option: Oliver Cromwell refused to be king in 1657, despite the fact that most parliamentarians voted for it.

The 2 line on expelling the children of Charles II from England.

The 3.4 lines about the brutal suppression uprising by Cromwell, including the murder of women and children.

Probable decoding of number 10.57. 10-1=9. If 9 flip in 6 then we will get 657 – year, when Cromwell became a lord protector.

Quatrain 4.14 Peter I

La mort subiette du premier personnage,

Aura change & mis vn autre au regne:

Tost, tard venu a si haut & bas aage,

Que terre & mer faudra qu'on le craingne.

The sudden death of the first personage

Will have caused a change and put another in the reign:

Soon, late come so high and of low age,

Such by land and sea that it will be necessary to fear him.

Peter I the Great (1672-1725) was tsar of Russia.

The 1 line. Tsar Alexei Mikhailovich died in 1676 suddenly, from a heart attack. Peter was then in his fourth year.

The 2 line. Peter I was coronated in April 1682, when he was only 10 years old. In fact, princess Sophia ruled the country. Peter seize to take power in his hands in 1689 – "late" in 7 years. Then he was only 17 years old – "low age."

The 4 line. He built a fleet, fought a lot and won on land and sea. He expanded the country's borders to the north, to the south and to the east.

Linkage with other quatrains: 1.49.

Decoding of the number 4.14. If 1 put at ahead and consider as 1000 then 1000-414=586, 5 flip in 2; by swapping these numbers we will get 682 – the year of coronation.

Quatrain 1.49 Russian-Turkish war

Beaucoup, beaucoup auant telles menees,

Ceux d'Orient, par la vertu Lunaire,

L'an mil sept cens seront grands emmenees,

Subiugant presque le coing Aquilonaire.

Long before these happenings

the people of the East, influenced by the Moon

in the year 1700 will cause many to be carried away,
