Classe par mer, marcher monts Pyrenees,
Espagne en trouble, marcher gent militaire,
Des plus grand; dames en France emmenees.
Because of death France will take to making a journey,
Fleet by sea, marching over the Pyrenees mountains,
Spain in trouble, military people marching:
Some of the greatest Ladies carried off to France.
The wars between France and Spain were conducted fairly regularly for several centuries. It is difficult to determine which of these refers to this quatrain. By deciphering the number a war was chosen, which France began in 1635 with the purpose of expanding its possessions.
The first line says about someone's death. We can assume (without any certainty) that this is Gonzalo de Cordoba, a prominent Spanish commander, who participated in many battles against France. He died in February 1635.
The 2 line. Military operations were conducted, mainly, in the border areas in the Pyrenees, Flanders and on the sea.
The 4 line. As a result of the war, the peace treaty was concluded. Under the terms of the treaty, the French King Louis XIV should was to marry the daughter of the Spanish King Maria Theresa.
Decoding of the number 4.2. If 2 to flip in 5, 400-5=395, 1 to put in front, 9 to flip in 6 and to put before 3, then we get 1635 – the year of beginning war.
Quatrain 7.10 Philip V
Par le grand Prince limitrophe du Mans,
Preux & vaillant chef de grand exercite :
Par mer & terre de Gallois & Normans,
Caspre passer Barcelonne pille Isle.
By the great Prince bordering Mans,
brave and valiant leader of the great army;
by land and sea with Bretons and Normans,
Caspre pass Barcelona to pillage the island.
The 1 line. King of Spain Charles II declared his of heir the grandson of Louis XIV Philip, Duke of Anjou. The Anjou region in the west of France borders the city of Le Mans. Hence, this prophecy about the war for the Spanish inheritance (1701-1713). As a result of this war, Philip V became King of Spain.
The 2 line. Philip was only 17 years old when this war began. It went with varying success. There were periods of such severe defeats that even the great Louis XIV advised him to abandon Spain. But he survived and won. Philip V got an impoverished country with a very weak army. The French army and navy fought for the Spanish inheritance.
The 4 line. Perhaps this line about another contender for Spain – Archduke Charles of the Habsburg dynasty. In 1701 Barcelona rebelled, took the side of the Habsburgs and surrendered to the latter. Not only Barcelona, but also nearby regions and islands was captured by Charles.
Linkage with other quatrains: 9.64.
Decoding of the number 7.10. Year is indicated almost explicitly. If 1 is put at the ahead, swap 10 in 01 then we will get 1701 – the year of beginning war.
Quatrain 9.64 War of the Spanish Succession
L'Aemathion passer monts Pyrenеes,
En Mars Narbon ne fera resistance,
Par mer & terre fera si grand menеe,
Cap. n'ayant terre seure pour demeurance.
The Aemathion (will) pass the Pyrenees mountains,
In March Narbonne will not do resistance:
By land and sea he will carry on very great intrigue,
Cap. having no land safe for residence.
Perhaps this is a prophecy about the war for the Spanish succession (1701-1714). In that period Spain was having to some territories in Italy, the Netherlands and the colony in America. In 1701 King Charles II died. He pointed to Philip of Anjou as heir. Archduke Charles was another contender for the Spanish throne. His allies were England, Prussia, and others.
The 1 line. In the quatrain 10.7 Nostradamus calls of Louis XIV as Aemathion. In March 1704 the Allied fleet delivered the Archduke Charles with the army to the Pyrenean Peninsula. France did not have time to prepare its fleet, and not rendered resistance. However, the French army was already in Spain – crossed the Pyrenees mountains, which dividing these countries. The French army under the command of Berwick acted successfully, occupying the cities one by one. The most important object was Gibraltar. Here military operations were conducted both on land and at sea. The England got the strait.
This war was fought so long and in different countries of Europe that it is difficult to understand which episode is predicted here. As a result, Philip V became king of Spain. France made big concessions, and it lost its dominant importance in Europe.
Linkage with other quatrains: 7.10.

The two contented ones will be united together,
When for the most part they will be conjoined with Mars:

The 1 line. 04/04/1725 was concluded the Vienna Union of Spain and the Great Roman Empire (Charles VI) against France and England.
The 2 line. Mercury, Venus, Jupiter approached Mars on 03/17/1725.
