Prophecies by Nostradamus

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.

Linkage with other quatrains: 1.35, 10.55, 4.47, 1.52.

Decoding of the number 6.63. If 6-1=5 then 600-53=547 – the year when Medici became queen.

Quatrain 10.55 Elisabeth of Valois

Les mal'heureuses nopces celebreront

En grande ioye mais la fin mal'heureuse

Mary & mere nore desdaigneront,

Le Phybe mort, & nore plus piteuse.

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.

Linkage with other quatrains: 1.35, 6.63, 4.47, 1.52, 10.95.

Decoding of the number 10.55. 10-1=9. If 9 to put in end, then we get 559 – the year of wedding.

Quatrain 10.59[2] (http://isi-nostradamus.blogspot.ru/2013/02/1940-1945.html) The rebellion of protestant in Lyon

Dedans Lyon vingt-cinq d'vne haltine,

Cinq Citoyens Germains, Brefians, Latins:

Par deffous nobles conduiront longue treine,

Et defcouuerts par abois de maftins.

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.

Decoding of the number 10.59. If 9 to flip in 6, 0 to put in end, then we get 1560 – the year of rebellion.

Quatrain 5.89 Events 1560

Dedans Hongrie par Boheme, Nauarre,

Et par banniere feintes seditions:

Par fleurs de lys pays portant la barre,

Contre Orleans fera esmotions. F ij

Into Hungary through Bohemia, Navarre,

and under that banner holy insurrections:

All who have lilies in their emblem,

They will rebelling against Orleans.

In 1560, the Huguenot's conspiracy in Amboise against King Francis II was discovered in France. He was led by Prince Conde. The conspirators were executed all but the prince. In 1560 Charles IX began to rule.

3-4 lines. In the same year, in Orleans, the king convened the General States, for the first time after a 76-year break. The States did not gave the king money.

Decoding of number 5.89. 589+1=590. If 9 to flip in 6, then we get 560 year.

Quatrain 3.25[3] (http://tonos.ru/articles/nostrrussia) King of Navarre

Qui au royaume Nauarrois paruiendra,

Quand le Sicile & Naples seront ioints:

Bigorre & landes par fois larron tiendra,

D'vn qui d'Espagne sera par trop conioints.

He who will attain to the kingdom of Navarre,
