Prophecies by Nostradamus

The 2nd line. The king was famous for his depravity, had a whole harem of mistresses and minions, whom he often changed. He died of smallpox, having caught the infection from one of them.

He did not deal with the affairs of the country. In fact, Cardinal Fleury, and after him the favourites, Marquise de Pompadour and Du Barry ruled the country. In pursuit of luxury, they ravaged the country. France was in distress. Its former power was gone. She lost her main colonies: Canada and India. They became English colonies. Louis did not care much about the people's discontent. He believed, "The monarchy will last as long as we are alive, after us even the flood." The last part of the expression became "winged".

The 4th line. Salic truth is a document compiled at the end of the 5th century, which regulated the judicial system, contained a list of crimes and corresponding penalties. Louis carried out unpopular and unsuccessful judicial reforms, which neither the parliament nor lawyers wanted to obey.

Probable decoding of number 5.38. If 1 to put before 8 and to consider as 1800, then 1800-53=1747, 47 swap 74 we get 1774 – the year of death.

Quatrain 1.5 French Revolution

Chassez seront sans faire long combat,

Par le pays seront plus fort greuez:

Bourg & Citй auront plus grand debat

Carcas, Narbonne, auront cњurs esprouvez,

They will be driven away for a long drawn out fight.

The countryside will be most grievously troubled.

Town and country will have greater struggle.

Carcassonne and Narbonne will have their hearts tried.

This fifth quatrain is the third prediction of the prophet and it is probably about the Great French Revolution. Despite the fact that he was a Frenchman, his first two predictions were about the Russian Revolution, and only the third – about the French Revolution of 1789. It can be assumed that he attached greater importance to the Russian Revolution than to the French Revolution. The phrases about the expulsion and oppression of wealthy people imply that this quatrain is about revolution. Indication of the French cities Carcassonne and Narbonne implies that this is about the revolution in France.

Quatrain 1.14 The enslaved populace, songs

De gens esclaue, chansons, chants & requestes

Captifs par Princes & Seigneur aux prisons.

A l'aduenir par idiots sans testes,

Seront receus par diuins oraisons.

From the enslaved populace, songs, chants and demands,

while princes and Lords are held captive in prisons.

These will in the future by headless idiots

be received as divine prayers.

The seizure of the prison of Bastille on July 14 (number of quatrain), 1789 is considered to be the beginning of the French Revolution. The prisoners were released from prisons. The revolution led to the transition of the country from the monarchical system to the republican one, and the proclamation of the equality of all citizens under the motto "Freedom, equality, brotherhood". Not only the enemies of the French Revolution, but also many revolutionary leaders were decapitated on guillotine. "Marseillaise" written by Rouget de Lille, became the anthem of the Revolution all over the world.

Quatrain 9.20* Louis XVI

De nuict viendra par la forest de Reines,

Deux pars voltorte Herne la pierre blanche,

Le moine noir en gris dedans Varennes

Esleu cap. cause tempeste, feu, sang tranche. I iiij

By night will come through the forest of 'Reines,

Two couples roundabout route Queen the white stone,

The monk king in gray in Varennes:

Elected Capet causes tempest, fire, blood, slice.

Louis XVI (1754-1793) was a king of France from 1774, grandson of Louis XV.

In the quatrain, an attempt to escape has been predicted. On the night of June 21, 1791, Louis and his family secretly left in a carriage with three bodyguards. This escape was organized by the Swedish Count Hans Axel. B Sainte-Mene postmaster Drouet recognized the king in the passing carriage. He rode after them. In Varenne, he struck the bell when he realized that the page boy was a disguised Louis. The crowd gathered. The fugitives returned to Paris under escort. The people met them in complete silence, people’s faith in the king was undermined.

Under the pressure of the revolutionary masses, Louis was forced to accept the constitution of 1791 and become a constitutional monarch. Then he began to oppose the revolution, seeking support abroad. Further events led to the fact that on September 21, 1792 the king was convicted by the Convention and guillotined: "blood, slice".

There is a saying: "history repeats itself." The similarity of the characters and destinies of two emperors: Louis XVI and Nicholas II can serve as an example of such repeatability. Both are characterized as positive people, not spoiled by power and wealth. As weaknesses their susceptibility to the influence of stronger personalities was noted. The beginning of their rule was marked by tragic events. On the day of the coronation, both arranged a free treat to the people. Because of the crush many people died in the crowd. Both of these emperors were overthrown by the revolutions and executed, and members of their families also suffered.

Quatrain 6.23 The arrest of king

D'eƒprit de regne muniƒmes deƒcriez.

Et ƒeront peuples eƒmeus contre leur Roy,

Paix, fain¢t nouueau ƒain¢tes loix empirées,

Rapis onc fut en ƒi tres-dur arroy.

Coins depreciated by the spirit of the realm,

And people will be stirred up against their King:

New peace made, holy laws become worse,

Paris was never in so severe an array.

In the summer of 1792 the people rebelled against the king. One of the reasons was inflation – a large amount of paper money came into circulation. The rebels stormed Tuileries palace. The 10 August uprising was the 2nd revolution. Universal suffrage was proclaimed. The monarchy was deposed, the king was under house arrest. Many aristocrats, priests were arrested. The structure of power and laws has changed.

In line 4 the word Rapis is an anagram from the word Paris. Prussian troops invaded France and successfully attacked Paris.

Decoding of number 6.23. 600-32=568. 568-1=567. If 56 to flip in 29 (297), then earrangement of numbers give 792 – year of the king’s arrest.

Quatrain 4.4 The events of 1793

L'impotent prince fasche, plaines & querelles

De raps & pilles par coqs & par lybiques

Grand est par terre, par mer infinies voilles,

Seure Italie sera chassant Celtiques.

The impotent Prince angry, complaints and quarrels,

Rape and pillage, by cocks and Africans:

Great it is by land, by sea infinite sails,

Italy alone will be chasing Celtic.

The first two lines are probably about revolutionary unrest in France and the raids of Libyan pirates.

The third line about execution of Louis XVI in 1793. After this England expelled the French ambassador and blocked the French coast using its fleet.

In Italy there was a war between France and Austria in that year for control of the peninsula.

Probable decoding of number 4.4. 400-4=396. 6+1=7. By swapping these numbers we will get 793 – the year of execution.

Quatrain 5.37 The trial of Louis XVI

Trois cens seront d'vn vouloir & accord,

Que pour venir au bout de leur attainte:

Vingt mois apres tous & records,

Leur Roy trahir simulant haine fainte.

Three hundred will be of one will & accord,

That to come to the end of their attack:

Twenty months after all & records,

Their king betray simulating feigned hatred.

1-2 lines. In the final vote over King Louis XVI of France, which ended at 2 a.m., 310 people voted for the immediate death penalty. He was beheaded on January 21, 1793.

Twenty months (after the escape) – this is June 1791, when the royal family tried to flee from the revolutionary France, but was arrested on the way. This undermined the authority of the king among the people and, in the future, led to his execution.

Linkage with other quatrains: 6.23, 9.20.

Decoding of number 5.37. If 5 to flip in 2, 1 to put in front and to consider as 1000, then 1000-237=763, turning 6 we get 793 – the year of the king's execution.

Quatrain 10.43 Royal goodness

Le trop bon temps, trop de bonte royale,

Faicts & deffaicts prompt, subit, negligence.

Leger croira faux d'espouse loyale.

Luy mis a mort par sa beneuolence.

Too much good times, too much of royal goodness,

Ones made and unmade, quick, sudden, neglectful:

Lightly will he believe falsely of his loyal wife,

He put to death through his benevolence.

Probably the first two lines are about character of Louis XVI. He was an honest, kind and decent, man but not resolute and subject to someone else's influence.

For a long time he was impotent. This put his young wife in an awkward position, there were various gossips. Then the king made an operation, and his personal life get better.

The last line is about the execution of Louis XVI.

Linkage with other quatrains: 9.20, 4.4.

Decoding of the number 10.43. 1000-43=957. If 5 to flip in 2, 2+1=3, then replace these numbers we get 793 – the year of death.

Quatrain 9.77 Maria Antoinette

Le regne prins le Roy conutera,

La dame prinse à mort iurez à sort,

La vie à Royne fils on desniera,

Et la pellix au fort de la consort.

The realm taken the King will conspire,

The lady taken to death ones sworn by lot:

They will refuse life to the Queen and son,

And the mistress at the fort of the wife.

This is a prophecy about the fate of the kingdom during the French Revolution.Apparently the second line is about the execution of Queen Maria Antoinette (1755 – 1793). She was the youngest daughter of Emperor Franz I and Maria Theresa. In 1770 she married Louis XVI. During the French Revolution, she was considered the main organizer of conspiracies against the revolution. She was given to the court of the Convention and sentenced to guillotine.

The third line refers to the early death of her son, the heir to the throne. After the execution of the king in 1793 he was recognized as the king of France by almost all monarchical countries, under the name of Louis XVII (1785-1795). He never reigned. After the execution of his parents, the boy remained in the hands of revolutionaries. Apparently, they tried to get rid of him. He died early, at the age of ten. Tuberculosis is considered to be the cause of his death. He was extremely exhausted from malnutrition, his body was covered with tumors and he was secretly buried in a common grave.

Linkage with other quatrains: 1.5, 1.14, 9.20, 9.35.

Decoding of the number 9.77. If 1 to add to 9 (1077), 0 to put at the end, we will get 1770 – the year of marriage.

Quatrain 4.20 Massacre to royalists

Paix vbertré long temps Dieu loüera

Par tout son regne desert la fleur de lis,

Corps morts d'eau, terre là l'on apporter,

Sperant vain heur d'estre là enseuelis.

Peace and plenty for a long time the place will praise,

Throughout his realm the lily flower deserted:

Bodies dead by water, land one will bring there,

Vainly awaiting the good fortune to be buried there.

Perhaps the first two lines are about Louis XVIII. He skillfully confronted the reactionaries and supported a certain level of liberalism. During his reign there was a constitutional monarchy in the country. He reformed the army, lowered the level of censorship. In 1818 the armies of the 4-sided coalition left the territory of France. The period of his reign was relatively prosperous for France.

Presumably, the last 2 lines refer to the period of the French Revolution. The monarchists wanted to organize a counter-revolution in the province of Vendee in 1793. Jean-Baptiste Carrier, a member of the Convention and Western army commissar was sent to Nantes to suppress it. He was a supporter of savage reprisals for the royalists. Instead of mass executions Carrier organized drowning of people in the Loire delta. People were put on ships with damaged bottoms and sent to the last voyage. In the future, Carrier was executed.

Linkage with other quatrains: 10.22.

Probable decoding of number 4.20. 400-20=380, 380-1=379. If 3 is put at the end then we will get 793 – the year of executions.

Quatrain 3.46 Plancus' city

Le Ciel (de Plancus la cite) nous presage

Par clairs insignes & par estoilles fixes,

Que de son change subit s'approche l'aage

Ne pour son bien ne pour les malefices.

The sky (of Plancus' city) forebodes to us

Through clear signs and fixed stars,

That the age of its sudden change is approaching,

Neither for its good, nor for its evils.

The ancient Roman consul Lucius Plancus founded the city of Lyon.

Perhaps dramatic changes in Lyon in 1793 are predicted here. It was the time of the 1st French Revolution.

The age of its sudden change – a new calendar was introduced in France. A new century came in 7 years (was approaching).

In May the city rebelled against the Jacobins. Paris sent a revolutionary army that besieged Leon. After two months of defense, the city surrendered. Many residents were executed, all defensive fortifications destroyed.

The city began to recover only of the next age, when Napoleon came to power,.

Possible decoding of number 3.46. If the numbers to rearrange – 436, turn over 6 – 439, 4 to consider as 4000, then 4000-39=3961. 6+1=7. In the reverse order we get 1793.

Quatrain 1.12 Napoleon in Italy

Dans peu dira fauce brute fragile,

De bas en haut, efleue promptement,

Puis en intant desloayale & labile,

Qui de Veronne aura gouu(v)ernement.

There will soon be talk of a treacherous man,

quickly raised from low to high estate.

He will suddenly turn disloyal and volatile.

This man will govern Verona.

Napoleon I led the Italian campaign in 1796 – the first time at the head of the army. He was only 27 years old. He was thin, and in the paintings of that time he looked fragile.

The 2 line. Bonaparte made a very quick career: in 10 years he rose from junior lieutenant to army commander.

The 3-4 lines. The French army captured Verona in 1796, then in 1797 the city transferred to Austria, and in 1801 it was divided between France and Austria, in 1805 the whole city was transferred to France.

The uprising began in Verona in April 1797. Napoleon used this as an excuse for the capture of Venice and the proclamation of the Cisalpine Republic. Bonaparte used victories in Italy for wide propaganda through newspapers of his personal merits.

Connection with other quatrains: 5.5.

Decoding of the number 1.12. If 1 to consider as 1000, then 1000-21=979. Turn 9 over in 6 and rearrange the numbers, we get 796. Putting 1 in front of number, it will be 1796 – the year of a capture Verona.

Quatrain 5.33 Uprising in Vendée

Des principaux de cite rebelee

Qui tiendront fort pour liberte rauoir:

Detrencher masses infelice meslee,

Cris vrlemens a Nante; piteux voir.

Of the principal ones of the city in rebellion

Who will strive mightily to recover their liberty:

The males cut up, unhappy fray,

Cries, groans at Nantes pitiful to see.

In 1793 a Royalist revolt broke out in Vendée, in the west of France among the opponents of the Revolution. Forced recruitment into the army caused the uprising.

The Republican forces were stationed in Nantes. In the prisons of the city ~ 12,000 arrested rebels were kept. The epidemics began among them, food was scarce.

arrived in Nantes, Commissioner Jean-Baptiste Carrière decided to kill the prisoners. In addition to the usual methods of shooting and guillotine, he used drowning in Loire. The arrested people were put on a ship with a broken bottom. In the middle of the river, the boat sank slowly. The brutal execution even more strengthened the determination of the insurgents to hold to the last. Only in 1796 the mutiny was suppressed.

Probable decoding of number 5.33. If 5 flip in 2 then 2000-33=1967. 7 is put before 9 we will get 1796 -the year of end uprising.

Quatrain 1.60[2] Napoleon

Vn Empereur naistra pres d'Italie,

Qui a l'Empire sera vendu bien cher,

Diront auec quels gens il se ralie

Qu'on trouuera moins Prince que boucher.

An Emperor will be born near Italy,

who will cost the Empire very dearly.

They will say, when they see his allies,

that he is less a prince than a butcher.

Presumably, this quatrain is about Napoleon I (15.08.1769 – 05.05.1821).

The 1 line. He was born on the island Corsica, which is located near Italy. There was no royal blood in his ancestry. His parents were petty aristocrats. Nevertheless, he became one of the most famous king. Few people know anything about Louis V or X, but everybody heard of Napoleon.

The 4 line. Endless Napoleonic wars led to the destruction of a large part of the population, not only in Europe and Africa but also in France itself. By the end of his reign there was almost no male population left in the country fit for the military service. Napoleon had to recruit teenagers.

Linkage with other quatrains: 4.54, 8.57, 1.76, 8.59, 8.53, 6.12, 9.86.

Probable decoding of number 1.60. 1000-60=940, 9-1=8, If 40 swap in 04 we will get 804 – the year of reign.

Quatrain 5.5 Napoleon poet

Sous ombre saincte d'oster de seruitude,

Peuple & cité l'vsurpera luy-mesmes,

Pire fera par faux de ieune pute,

Liuré au champ lisant le faux proesme. E iij

Under the shadowy pretext of removing servitude,

He will himself usurp the people and city:

He will do worse because of the deceit of the young prostitute,

Leader in the field reading the false poem.

The first two lines are about the career of Napoleon I. At first he pretended to support the ideas of the Revolution. When he became the head of the army, he usurped the power, established the monarchy, not having hereditary right.

The third line is perhaps about Josephine Beauharnais, Napoleon’s wife. She led a free way of life. The lover Napoleon, being in Egypt, was very upset when he learned of her infidelity.

The last line is about literary creativity. In his younger years, Napoleon I wrote poetry and prose.

Linkage with other quatrains: with all about Napoleon.

Decoding of the number 5.5. If 55 to flip in 22, then 2000-2=1998. 8-1=7. 7 is put behind 1 we will get 1799 – the year when he usurped power.

Quatrain 4.54[3] Name Napoleon

Du nom qui oncques ne fut au Roy Gaulois,

Iamais ne fust vn fouldre si craintif,

Tremblant l'Italie l'Espagne & les Anglois,

De femme estrangers grandement attentif.

Of the name which no French King ever had

Never was there so fearful a thunderbolt,

Italy, Spain and the English trembling,

Very attentive to a woman foreigner.

The 1 line. There has never been a Napoleon name in the dynasties of the French kings. He was the first. The 2 and 3 lines are most likely about the Napoleonic wars. In different periods, his enemies were England, Italy, Spain, Russia and other countries.

The 4 line is perhaps about Mary-Louise. The first wife of Napoleon was the Parisian aristocrat Josephine Bogarne, but she could not give birth to the heir. Napoleon, who had no kings in the genealogy, began to seek a wife with two goals: he needed a son, and he wanted to be related to the royal family. In 1810 he married the daughter of the emperor of Austria Maria-Louise. She gave birth to a long-awaited heir and made a strong impression on him with his chastity. He paid much attention to her: entertained, took her for walks, hunted, accompanied to the theatre.

Quatrain 8.57* Career of Napoleon

De souldat simple paruiendra en empire,

De robe courte paruiendra à la lonque

Vaillant aux armes en eglise ou plus pyre,

Vexer les prestres comme l'eau faict l'esponge.

From simple soldier he will attain to Empire,

from the short robe he will grow into the long.

Brave in arms, much worse toward the Church,

he vexes the priests as water fills a sponge.

The 1 line. Napoleon I began serving in the army in 1785 not in a soldier’s rank, but a little higher, a junior lieutenant of artillery. During the Great French Revolution, he reached the rank of brigadier general. Then he received the following ranks: division general, commander of the rear, commander of the Italian army. In 1798-1799 he led a military campaign in Egypt.

The 2 line. Seizure of power by Napoleon became the end of the Revolution. He organized a coup in 1799. When he became the first consul, he established his dictatorship. In May 1804 he was proclaimed an emperor. At the painting of F. Gerard Napoleon is depicted at the top of his career in a long royal vestment.

The 4 line. From 1789 to 1802 the number of clergymen was reduced from 60,000 to 36,000. Upon Napoleon’s request, the Pope was captured and transported to a small town of Savona in the Gulf of Genoa. Napoleon impound the property of the church and papal possessions and handed them over to the French Empire. He presented Benevent County and Ponte Corvo to Talleyrand and Bernadotte. The rebellious bishops of Troyi, Ghana, Tournai were arrested and imprisoned in Vincennes.

Linkage with other quatrains: 1.60, 4.54, 1.76.

Quatrain 5.40 Italian campaign

Le sang royal sera si tresmesle,

Contrainct seront Gaulois de l'Hesperie:

On attendra que terme soit coule,

Et que memoire de la voix soit perie.

The royal blood will be so very mixed,

Will be constrained Gauls from Hesperia:

One will wait until his term has expired,

And until the memory of his voice has perished.

Hesperia is an ancient name of Italy. It was conquered by Napoleon (Gauls). In 1796 was his first Italian campaign, and in 1805 he became a king of Italy.

The first line does not fit as Napoleon. He did not have royal blood at all – he's an impostor.

Decoding of the number 5.40. If 5 to flip in 2 and to consider 2 as 2000, 2000-04=1996, flip first 9 in 6, 6+1=7, then we get 1796 – the year of first Italian campaign.

Quatrain 8.38 Marshal Brune

Le Roy de Bloys dans Auignon regner

Vn autre fois le peuple emonopolle,

Dedans le Rosne par murs fera baigner

Iusques a cinq le dernier pres de Nolle.

The King of Blois will reign in Avignon,

once again the people covered in blood.

In the Rhône he will make swim

near the walls, up to five the last one near Nolle.

Guillaume Brune (1763-1815) was a Marshal of France from 1804, in service from 1793. He took an active part in the revolution: first he organized the newspaper, then went into the army, distinguished himself during the Italian campaign of Napoleon. In 1797 Brun was promoted to the generals. In 1807 Napoleon sent him to resign for republican views.
