Quatrain 9.57 Charles de Bourbon (cardinal)
Au lieu de Drvx vn Roy reposera,
Et cherchera loy changeant d'Anatheme,
Pendant le ciel si tresfort tonnera,
Portee neufue Roy tuera soy-mesme.
In the place of 'Drux' a King will rest,
And will look for a law changing Anathema:
While the sky will thunder so very loudly,
New entry the King will kill himself.
Dreux fr. – the city is 74 km from Paris. 1 line. A King, apparently, is Henry of Navarre, who fought for the throne of France.
The 2 line. The Pope excommunicated him from the church for not accepting Catholicism. Apparently, he was thinking about how to take off that anathema. In 1593 he was forced to accept Catholicism for the sake of the throne. The Pope gave him absolution.
The 4 line. After the death of Henry III the Catholic League captured Paris for 5 years. It chose the elderly Cardinal Charles de Bourbon as its king, who died 9 May 1590. Before his death, the cardinal recognized Henry as the rightful king. After his death Henry of Navarre remained the only contender for the throne of France.
Decoding of number 9.57. If 7 to consider as 700, then 700-95=605, 6 to flip in 9, the numbers to rearrange (590), 1 to put in front, we get 1590 – year, 5 – month, 9 – day of the cardinal's death (full date).
Quatrain 9.50[2] (http://isi-nostradamus.blogspot.ru/2013/02/1940-1945.html) Mendosus
Mendosvs tost viendra ? son haut regne,
Mettant arriere vn peu le Norlaris.
Le Rouge blesme, le masle ? l'interregne.
Le ieune crainte & frayeur Barbaris.
Mendosus will soon come to his high realm,
Putting behind a little the Lorrainers:
The pale red one, the male in the interregnum,
The fearful youth and Barbaric terror.
As in the previous quatrain 9.45, Nostradamus calls Henry IV a Mendozus here. In 1589 he defeated Karl of Lorraine in the battle of Arques-la-Bataille. Many influential people of France joined him, as well as a significant part of the nobility from Picardy, Ile-de-France, Champagne. He did not allow his soldiers to cause any damage to the population of the conquered territories. The cities whose citizens knew about it did not resist him. "Interregnum" period – during 5 years after the death of Henry III and coronation of Henry IV France had no official king.
In March 1590, Henry IV won a new victory at Ivry-la-Bataille. With his heroic example, he stopped the fleeing soldiers.
After this battle he besieged Paris. When the capital and other cities went over to his side, he did not get rid of the Catholic League leaders, but bribed them.
Linkage with other quatrains: 9.45, 1.52.
Decoding of the number 9.50. If 1 to put in front, then by swapping 95 we get 1590 – the year of victory over League.
Quatrain 9.45[2] (http://isi-nostradamus.blogspot.ru/2013/02/1940-1945.html) Henry IV
Ne sera soul iamais de demander,
Grand Mendosvs obtiendra son empire:
Loing de la court fera contremander,
Piedmont, Picart, Paris Tyrhen le pire.
Never soul will not stop to demand,
Great 'Mendosus' will obtain his empire:
Far from the court he will cause to be countermanded
Piedmont, Picardy, Paris, Tuscany the worst.
Henry IV of Navarre, Bourbon (1553-1610) was a king of France from 1589, crowned in 1594.
Lines 1-2. Despite the fact that Henry III before his death declared Henry Navarre as his heir only after 5 years of hard struggle he was able to become a king. Several times Henry IV adopted Catholicism then Protestantism. Because of this, he lost the trust and support of both. This weakened his army. Nevertheless, part of the nobility supported him. He was brave and successful in the war and eventually became the king of France.
He managed to defeat the League. The cities listed in the 4th line went to his side.
Nostradamus calls him vicious, ugly, perhaps because of his apostasy. He was even more unstable in relations with women.
Unlike other kings, Henry IV was crowned not in Reims, but in Chartres Cathedral on February 27, 1594. In March of 1594 he finally took Paris. He received indulgence from the Pope Clement VIII. This helped him to reconcile with the Catholic population of the country.
This king was killed in Paris, in his carriage, on May 14, 1610 by the Catholic fanatic Francois Ravallac. Jumping on the carriage-step he gave him a fatal blow. The day before, Henry crowned his wife Maria Medici. There is an opinion that it she plotted his murder in order to rule.
It’s interesting that three Henrys: II, III and IV in succession were killed. Henry II – in the tournament, Henry III and IV – by the religious fanatics. Henry of Guise, who claimed the crown, was also killed. Since that time there has been no Henrys on the French throne.
Linkage with other quatrains: 1.52, 9.50.
Decoding of the number 9.45. If 1 and 5 are put at the ahead, then we get 1594 – the year of beginning of reign.

A logmyon sera laisse le regne,
Du grand Selin qui plus fera de faict,
Par les Itales estendra son enseigne,
Regy sera par prudent contrefait.
