The true prophecies or prognostications of Michael Nostradamus, physician to Henry II. Francis II. and Charles IX.

Nostradamus
Astrology -- Early works to 1800; Prophecies -- Early works to 1800
The two Nephews brought up in divers places,
A Sea fight, fathers fallen to the Earth,
They shall came highly educated, and expert in Arms,
To avenge the injury, their enemies shall fall down under them.
ANNOT.
This is concerning two _Nephews_, who shall be educated in divers places,
and grow expert in Arms, their Fathers shall be killed, but those
_Nephews_ shall come, and having fought at Sea, shall revenge the injury
done to them, overcoming their enemies.

French.
Celuy qu’en luitte & fer au fait Bellique,
Aura porte plus grand que luy le prix,
De nuit au lit six luy feront la pique,
Nud sans harnois subit sera surprins.
English.
He who in Wrestling and Martial affairs,
Had carried the prize before his better,
By night Six shall abuse him in his bed,
Being naked, and without harness, he shall suddenly be surprised.
ANNOT.
Many attribute this to the Earl of _Montgomery_ in _France_, who having
run a tilt against _Henry_ II. unfortunately killed him, for which, and
for being of the Protestant party, he was afterwards beheaded, though
quarter had been given him.
XXXI.
French.
Aux Champs de _Mede_, d’_Arabe_, & d’_Armenie_,
Deux grands Copies trois fois sassembleront,
Pres du Rivage d’_Araxes_ la mesgnie,
Du grand _Soliman_ en Terre tomberont.
English.
In the fields of _Media_, _Arabia_, and _Armenia_,
Two great Armies shall meet thrice,
Near the Shore of _Araxes_, the people
Of great _Solyman_ shall fall down.
ANNOT.
This signifieth no more, but the loss of three famous Battles on the
_Turks_ side, against the _Persians_.
The first that I find after the coming out of these Prophesies, is the
Battle of _Sancazan_, seven miles from _Tauris_, and hard by the River
_Araxes_, where 20000 _Turks_ were slain, without any considerable loss
of the _Persians_; this was in the time of _Amurath_ the III. Emperour
of the _Turks_, and son to _Selyman_ the second. The other two Battles
I could not make good, because I want the supplement of the _Turkish_
History, as also because they have not yet happened.
XXXII.
French.
Le grand sepulchre du peuple _Aquitanique_,
S’aprochera aupres de la _Toscane_,
Quand _Mars_ sera pres du coin _Germanique_,
Et au terroir de la gent _Mantuane_.
English.
The great grave of the _Aquitanick_ people,
Shall come near _Tuscany_,
When _Mars_ shall be in the _German_ corner,
And in the Territory of the _Mantuan_ people.
ANNOT.
The Lord of _Thou_ saith in his History, that the Cardinal _Caraffa_ got
by the King of _France_’s permission, out of _Corsica_, several Troops
of _Gascons_, and brought some with them, to the number of about 2000
which were quartered about _Rome_. Many of them were among the Troops of
the Duke of _Guise_, being allured thither by the reputation of their
Countreyman Captain _Monluc_.
