Prophecies by Nostradamus

Quatrain 4.41 Margaret of Valois

Cymnique sexe captiue par hostage,

Viendra de nuict custodes deceuoir:

Le chef du camp deceu par son lignage,

Lairra le genre, fera piteux auoir.

Female sex captive as a hostage

Will come by night to deceive the guards:

The chief of the army deceived by her language

Yield to the beauty, it will be pitiful to see.

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.
