Hors de sa charge se verra desarme,
Arles ne monstres double soit aperceu,
Et Liqueduct & le Prince embaume.
The old Cardinal is deceived by the young one,
he will find himself disarmed, out of his position:
Do not show, Arles, that the double is perceived,
both Liqueduct and the Prince embalmed.
Arman de Richelieu (1585-1642) was a Cardinal from 1622 and Prime Minister of France from 1624. In 1642 his protege Saint-Mar organized a conspiracy against the Cardinal. However, Louis XIII did not support the conspirators and took the side of Richelieu.
The last two lines were interpreted as the king’s death in 1643 and cardinal’s death in 1642.
"Embalmed" is also translated as fragrant, and "Liqueduct" is a liquid (rotting). These two lines can be interpreted as the birth of twins from Anne of Austria. One of them became king (embalmed), the other rotted in a mask in prison.
Probable decoding of number 8.68. If 6 to consider as 6000, 6000-88=5912, flip 2 in 5, 9-1=8, we get 1585 – the year of birth.
Quatrain 1.95 Foundling
Deuant monstier trouue enfant besson
D'heroicq sang de moyne vestutisque,
Son bruit par secte, langue & puissance son,
Qu'on dira soit efleue le Vopisque, Celuy.
In front of a monastery will be found a twin infant
from the illustrious and ancient line of a monk.
His fame, renown and power through sects and speech
is such that they will say the living twin is deservedly chosen.
In this prophecy Nostradamus revealed the secret of the birth of Louis XIV. The child found at the monastery was probably the twin of Louis XIV, born on 05.09.1638. Louis XIII is officially considered his father, but he could not have children. Probably the monk, the father of the foundling, is cardinal Mazarin. He was a favorite of queen Anne of Austria.
One of the twins became the great king of France. During his reign, the country reached the peak of its power. The other twin is known as the man in mask. He lived in various prisons for many years and died in the Bastille in 1703. He was buried with an Italian surname "Marchioly".
Decoding of the number 1.95. If 1 to consider as 1000, to overturn 95 in 62, then 1000-62=938. 9 to overturn in 6 and 1 to put in front, it will be 1638 – year, 9 – month, 5 – day of born twins.
Quatrain 10.58[2] (http://isi-nostradamus.blogspot.ru/2013/02/1940-1945.html) Battle of Rocroi
A temps du dueil que le felin monarque,
Guerroyera le ieune Aemathien:
Gaule bransler, perecliter la barque,
Tenter Phossens au Ponant entretien.
In the time of mourning the feline monarch
Will make war upon the young Macedonian:
Gaul to shake, the bark to be in jeopardy,
Marseilles to be tried in the West a talk.
On May 14, 1643, King Louis XIII died. Little Louis XIV could not rule the country. Taking advantage of the situation, the vice-king of the Spanish Army attacked the French city of Rocroi on May 15. In this battle the Spanish Army suffered a crushing defeat.
The 3 line about uprising of common people and wars of the Fronde. Bark is a Catholic church, whose foundations were shaken by a new religious trend – Jansenism.
The last line, perhaps, is about trying to make peace with Spain.
Probable decoding of number 10.58. If 1000-58=942 and to flip 9 in 6, 2+1=3, then we get 643 – the year of battle.
Quatrain 4.93 Louis XIV
Vn serpent veu proche du lit Royal,
Sera par dame, nuict chiens n'abbayeront:
Lors naistre en France vn Prince tant Royal
Du Ciel venu tous les princes verront.
A serpent seen near the royal bed,
It will be by the lady at night the dogs will not bark:
Then to be born in France a Prince so royal,
Come from heaven all the princes will see him.
Louis XIV of Bourbon (1638-1715) was a king of France from 1643, known as Great. He reigned longer than any European monarch – 72 years. He was a supporter of the divine right of kings and said, "France is me." During his reign, France reached its highest peak, power, political, military and cultural influence throughout Europe. His reign went down in history as the Great Age.
Lines 1, 2. Perhaps they are about the infidelity of Anne of Austria to King Louis XIII. Their marriage was infertile for 22 years. After the death of the king, doctors stated that he could not have children. The appearance of the heir was perceived as a miracle.
"Dogs will not bark" can be assumed as the secret of paternity will not be disclosed. Although the people sang songs about Richelieu and Mazarini, it is still not clear who was the father of Louis XIV. Apparently, everyone understood the situation, but the country needed a heir, so no scandal followed. Louis XIV was recognized as a legitimate heir, and it was suitable for everyone.
"Come from heaven," perhaps, means the name given at birth – the God-given.
