Could Michel de Nostre Dame (Michael of Our Lady) really see into the future? Here are a few more Nostradamus quatrains that contain specific references to real documented events. These poems (they actually do rhyme in Old French) from Chapter 3 of the Centuries have caused many people to have second thoughts about the accuracy of Nostradamus prophecies:
NOSTRADAMUS QUATRAIN #3-1
After a combat & naval battle,
Apres combat & bataille navale,
The great King of the Sea is suddenly frightened;
Le grand Neptune a son plus haut befroy;
The Red adversary will come to know fear,
Rouge adversaire de peu viendra passe,
They shall put to Sea in terror.
Mettant le grand Ocean en effroy.

Nostradamus here describes the famous naval battle of Lepanto in 1571 (see Q.#5-23), where the great Ottoman leader, Ali Pasha, the "King of the Sea," was finally put to flight by the armada of the Catholic League. The Red (Turkish) fleet had previously enjoyed absolute control over the Meditterranean Sea for many years.
NOSTRADAMUS QUATRAIN #3-16
An English prince, with his heart set on flying,
Un prince Anglais, Mars a son coeur de ciel,
Will wish to pursue his good fortune;
Voudra poursuivre la fortune prospere;
Of his two rivals, one will pierce him with hatred,
De deux duelles, l'un percera le fiel,
Disliked by them, but much loved by the mother.
Hay de luy, bien aime de sa mer.

Prince William, his younger brother Harry, and their father Prince Charles experience a rather strained relationship that Nostradamus may be attempting to describe for us here. The Queen Mother however, has her own particular opinions on the individual abilities of her progeny to lead the British people. Her deeply held feelings about Prince William, who has his heart set on a career as a military pilot, became plainly apparent when she bestowed upon him a greatly expanded authority to control certain aspects of the British government.
NOSTRADAMUS QUATRAIN #3-35
In the most remote part of Western Europe,
Du plus profond de L'Occident d'Europe,
To poor people, a new child will be born,
De pauvres gens un jeune enfant naistra,
Who by his speech will seduce a great many,
Qui par sa langue seduira grande troupe,
His fame even to the kingdoms of the Orient will increase.
Son bruit au regne d'Orient plus croistra.

In Quatrain #3-35 Nostradamus foretells the fated birth of a young child along the banks of the Danube River in the deepest part of Germany. This young child, whose name was Adolf Hitler, would be given the power to captivate and inflame the German people with speeches that were destined to spread his fame across Germany and light the fires of hell in Italy and Japan, embroiling the world once again in a great global war.
NOSTRADAMUS QUATRAIN #3-44
When brute power by man is tamed,
Quand l'animal a l'homme domestique,
After great pains & efforts it shall carry speech;
Apres grands peines & sauts viendra parler;
But lightning in its virgin form will be so dangerous,
Le fouldre vierge sera si malefique,
That from the ground it must be isolated & suspended in air.
De terre prinse & suspendue en l'air.

In Quatrain #3-44 Nostradamus tells us that mankind will ultimately tame the raw power of electricity, and use it to carry speech. But electricity will prove to be so dangerous that the wires carrying it must be suspended in the air on telephone poles to insure the public safety.
NOSTRADAMUS QUATRAIN #3-55
In the year when he with one eye shall rule in France,
En l'an qu'un oeil en France regnera,
The Court will be in very grievous trouble;
La Cour sera a un bien fasheaux trouble;
The Great One of Blois will murder his friend,
Le Grand de Bloys son amy tuera,
The kingdom is placed in difficulty, & double the confusion.
Le regne mis en mal & doute double.

After the French king, Henry II lost his eye, and ultimately his life, in a fateful jousting match in 1559 (see Q.#1-35), his three young sons in rapid succession ascended to the throne of France during a time of great internal religious strife. Then in 1588, his third son, Henry III, summoned his former boyhood friend, Henry I - Duke of Guise, to Blois, and had him murdered. This act resulted in all out conflict between French Royalists and Legitimists, splitting the nation in two.
NOSTRADAMUS QUATRAIN #3-57
Seven times the British lineage changes,
Sept fois changer verrez gent Britannique,
Bound by blood for 290 years;
Taintz en sang en deux cents nonante an;
Unable to free itself of its German ties,
Franche non point per appuy Germanique,
But the Ram fears his bastardly roots.
Aries doubte son pole Bastardien.

Nostradamus tells us in this quatrain that the thrones of England and Germany were linked by blood for over 290 years. Most people in this modern world are not aware of the blood ties that have always existed between the royal families all over the world. If you've ever seen a painting of the great Ottoman emperor Sulieman the Magnificent, you'll notice that he looks like he just stepped out of an Irish pub. And the illustrious queen Catherine the Great of Russia was a German by birth, and cousin to the King of Sweden. Even Genghis Kahn was actually a Caucasian warlord at birth. Sometimes the royal thrones are compromised and taken over by commoners, as was the case with Oliver Cromwell of England. Nostradamus here refers to another such case, when the commoner Adolf Hitler took control of the government of Germany. Hitler was born on April 20, 1889, and was therefore born under the astrological sign of Aries, the Ram.
NOSTRADAMUS QUATRAIN #3-73
When within the (French) nation shall be seen a cripple,
Quand dans le regne parviendra le boiteux,
His competitors will be declared to be counterfeits;
Competiteur aura proche bastard;
He & the nation shall become so seriously ill,
Luy & le regne viendront si fort roigneux,
That before he can recover, it will be too late.
Qu'ains qu'il guerisse son faict sera bien tard.

After Henry II's unexpected death in 1559, his crippled son, Francis II, was immediately declared King, and his two chief rivals, Henry of Navarre and Henry de Guise, representing the Protestants and Catholics respectively, were declared ineligible for the throne. But young Francis was so sickly that he soon died, leaving France once again in a state of political and religious turmoil. Through all this, it was the regent Queen, Catherine de Medici, who was actually in control of the throne.
NOSTRADAMUS QUATRAIN #3-77
The third portion (of the sky) under Aries influence,
La tiers climat soubz Aries comprins,
In the year 1727 in October;
L'ans mil sept cens vingt & sept in Octobre;
The King of Persia by those of Egypt is controlled,
La Roy de Perse par ceux d'Egypte prins,
Conflict, death, loss, and to the cross great shame.
Conflit, mort, perte, a la croix grand opprobre.

At the beginning of the 1700's, the monarchy of Persia (Iran), under Shi'a influence, had fallen to the Ottomans, and was now being controlled from Egypt. Western business interests soon began exploiting the Persian economy and shamefully operating beer halls and brothels in the Christian quarter of Isfahan, Persia's capital city. But in October of 1727, a Sunni fundamentalist leader by the name of Nadir Khan, raised an army from northern Persia and successfully defeated the Ottoman army, driving out all foreign invaders.
NOSTRADAMUS QUATRAIN #3-87
The French fleet does not approach Corsica,
Classe Gauloise n'approche de Corseigne,
Lest the Sardinians should catch them unaware;
Moins de Sardaigne tu t'en repentiras;
Everyone frustrates death with the aid of growing disappointment,
Trestous mourrez frustrez de l'aide grogne,
Bloodshed will be avoided, I can't believe they weren't captured.
Sang nagera, captif ne me croiras.

On February 22, 1793, the French fleet launched a secret attack to capture the fortress of La Maddelena near the island of Corsica, during a campaign against the Sardinians. The French commander avoided sailing too close to the coast of Corsica so as not to be detected by Sardinian spies on the island. A young artillery officer named Napoleon Buonaparte was in command of the French artillery during the seige, and Napoleon's brilliant attack quickly disarmed the town of La Maddelena. But the Corsican army under command of the Corsican separatist Paoli, did not follow up by invading the town. This disappointment placed Napoleon and his men in danger of being overrun and captured by the enemy, and so Napoleon was forced to scuttle all his cannon and beat a hasty retreat in some captured Sardinian boats, just ahead of the arrival of the Sardinian Navy, which won the day by default.
NOSTRADAMUS QUATRAIN #3-94
For 500 more years they will hold him in esteem,
De cing cens ans plus compte lon tiendra,
This one who shone as the ornament of his time;
Celuy qu'estoit l'ornement de son temps;
Then a single great burst of enlightenment shall occur,
Puis a un coup grand clarte donra,
Which at that time will render (to me) great contentment.
Quiu par ce seicle les rendra tres contens.

The visitations of the prophets have always occurred on 500 year intervals. In this verse Nostradamus tells us it that will take nearly all of that 500 years before he will be recognized for his great prophetic abilities. In the Last Days of man, the world will finally come to realize that the many verses recorded by the most recent of prophets are true. Unfortunately it will be too late for Nostradamus' prophetic warnings to benefit anyone in a vain and pretentious modern world of people who've chosen to to walk the broad path leading only to death and destruction (Few are they who choose the narrow path that leads to eternal life).
NOSTRADAMUS QUATRAIN #3-97
New laws will overtake the newly occupied land,
Nouvelle loi terre neufve occuper,
Around Syria, Judea & Palestine;
Vers la Syrie, Judee & Palestine;
(The great empire by barbarians corrupted)
Le grand empire barbare curruer,
Before the Moon ends her cycle.
Avant que Phebes son siecle determine.

There are suddenly new religious laws being celebrated in the Holy Land, as Russian Jews begin their return to Zion in 1882 following the Russian Tsar's enactment of strict anti-semitic laws in Russia, driving some Jews to emigrate to America and others back into the Holy Land. As the Moon ends her great cycle in the 1880's (i.e. The Roussat Moon Cycle 1535-1888) farming communes are set up in the desert with money provided by the Rothchilds of Europe, and Jews begin to observe their religious celebrations in an Islamic land overseen by the Turkish Ottoman empire.
