Nostradamus
Astrology -- Early works to 1800; Prophecies -- Early works to 1800
In _Arbissella_, _Vezema_ and _Crevari_,
Being conducted by night to take _Savona_,
The quick _Gascon_, _Giury_ and the _Charry_,
Behind old Walls and new Pallace to graple.
ANNOT.
_Arbissella_ is a Town situated by the Sea-side above _Savona_, going
towards _Genoa_. _Vezema_ and _Crevari_ are in the Inland Countrey, and a
little further remoted from the Sea then _Arbissella_. _The quick Gascon_
was _Blasius_ of _Monluc_, one of the Valliantest men of his time, who
came from a single Souldier to be Marshal of _France_. _Guiry_ and _la
Charry_ were two of his Companions. This Stanza doth Prophetically
foretell two things, one is, the design that the Marshal of _Brissac_,
then Governour of _Piemont_ had upon _Savona_: the other, the taking of
_Pianca_ by _Blasius_ of _Monluc_, as to the first, the Lord of _Villars_
writeth in his Memorials, that the Lord _Damzay_ sent advice to the King,
that the taking of _Savona_ was more probable then any other design,
which signifieth that the Marshal of _Brissac_ had of a long time eyed
that Town, and therefore he sent by night some Troops into those three
little Towns, to see if they could surprise _Savona_, but the design did
not succeed. The Histories only mention that the Marshal of _Brissac_ went
from Court in the year 1557. with a design to take _Savona_; but this
stanza speaketh of the same design 1556.
At the same time in the year 1556. the 29. of _June Blasius_ of _Monluc_,
as he relateth in his Commentaries, did surprise the Town and Fort of
_Piance_, called in Latine _Corsinianum_, he had with him the Captain _la
Charry_, the Captain _Bartholomew_ of _Pezero_, and the son of Captain
_Luzzan_. At first the _French_ were beaten back, but the valliant
_Monluc_ did encourage them again by his example, going the first in, and
saying only, _follow your Captain_.
