The Centuries were first published in a seven-chapter edition. Unfortunately the last few pages of the seventh chapter were badly damaged, and we are now left with only 48 (Quatrains 1-44, 73, 80, 82, and 83) of the original 100 quatrains from this interesting chapter. Although Chapter 7 is short, it nevertheless contains some very revealing quatrains about French history. The following are just a sample of the many interesting quatrains contained within Chapter 7 of the Centuries:
NOSTRADAMUS QUATRAIN #7-5
The wine on the table will be poured out,
Vin sur la table en sera respandu,
By Dominicans who'll pretend to be house servants;
Le tiers n'aura celle qu'il pretendoit;
The two sent together by the Black One of Parma,
Deux fois du noir de Parma descendu,
From Perugia into Pisa to carry out his plan.
Perouse a Pize fera se ce qu'il cuidoit.

Nostradamus tells us that the "Black One" of Parma, Allesandro Farnese, carries out a plot to kill the offspring of King Henry II by poisoning them with snake venom (see Q.#7-42). He sends two Dominican friars to Pisa, and then into France, to carry out his evil plan, but Henry III discovers this Vatican plot to poison him, and orders the murder of the Catholic rival for his throne, the Duc de Guise.
NOSTRADAMUS QUATRAIN #7-11
The royal child will argue with his mother,
L'enfant royal contemnera la mere,
With harsh glances, kicks, curses, rudeness, he will disobey;
Oeil, pieds, blesses, rude, inobeissant;
Newly estranged from his mother, & extremely spiteful,
Nouvelle a dame estrange & bien amere,
He will kill on his own more than five hundred.
Seront tues des siens plus de cing cens.

Louis XIII was barely 9 years old when he took over the throne of France. He was an angry young child who was constantly at odds with his mother, the queen Marie Di Medici, a protector of the Protestants. In a spiteful act of disobedience (and with the aid of agents of the Catholic Church), Louis once ordered the killing of more than five hundred French Protestant Huguenots while his mother was away.
NOSTRADAMUS QUATRAIN #7-13
In the marine city (Venice) & its tributaries,
De la cite marine & tributaire,
By terrible ruin he will overcome the satrapy;
La teste raze prendra la satrape;
Chasing away the detractors, who then will be against him,
Chasser sordide qui puis sera contraire,
For fourteen years he shall hold the tyranny.
Par quatorze ans tiendra la tyrannie.

This quatrain describes Napoleon's last step in his climb to power. By 1797, the young general had captured much of Europe and claimed it for France. But he had not yet ended the 1000-year reign of the City of Venice. The Venetians had held absolute power in Italy for over a millenium, and were in close league with the Austrians, who provided them military protection. If Napoleon could just capture Venice, he could finally win over his detractors in Paris and become Emperor of France. So Napoleon proceeded to attack the Austrian army and drive it back into Vienna. He was then able to dethrone the now defenseless Venetian satrapy, and claim Italy for the new French Republic. The capture of Venice finally gave Napoleon the status he needed to gain the support of the French Assembly in Paris. In 1799, Napoleon was appointed First Consul of France, and held absolute rule for fourteen years until he was ultimately defeated in 1813 by Tsar Alexander of Russia at the disastrous Battle of Moscow.
NOSTRADAMUS QUATRAIN #7-23
The Royal scepter will be forced to accept
Le Royal sceptre sera contrainct de prendre
That which his predecessors avoided pledging;
Ce que ses predecesseurs avoient engaige;
Then accepting a commitment he did not intend to make,
Puis que la l'aneau on fera mal entendre,
When they shall come to sack the palace.
Lors qu'on viendra la palais saccager.

After the unfortunate deaths of Henry II and Henry III, it was Henry IV (Henry of Navarre) who finally inherited the throne of France. But Henry IV also inherited the ongoing conflict between the Protestants and Catholics of France. Henry IV was a Protestant sympathizer, but was twice forced to conditionally declare himself to be a member of the Catholic faith, once in order to save his own life during the infamous Saint Bartholomew's Day Massacre, and again in 1594 to appease the ire of his many Catholic subjects and further unite the nation of France.
NOSTRADAMUS QUATRAIN #7-29
The grand Duke of Alba will come to the rebellion,
Le grand Duc d'Albe se viendra rebeller,
And the great brothers (de Guise) will create treachery;
A ses grans peres fera le tradiment;
The great one of Guise will come to conquer,
Le grand de Guise le viendra debeller,
Captives taken, & monuments erected.
Captif mene, & dresse monument.

In Quatrain #7-29 we find Nostradamus' description of the infamous "Day of the Barricades" that occurred on May 12, 1588 when French Catholics, supported by the two Catholic Leaguer brothers Henry and Louis de Guise, began rioting in the streets of Paris to overthrow King Henry III. Henry, who was sympathetic to the Protestant cause, was forced to flee Paris, and tens of thousands of Protestants and Jews lost their lives. Spain's Catholic Duke of Alba also supported the rebellion by using the Spanish Armada to keep the English from interfering with the effort. The English fleet however, eventually defeated Spain's Armada, and Henry III was able to recaptured his throne and order the death of the two de Guise brothers.
NOSTRADAMUS QUATRAIN #7-44
The two, recently arrived, seize the poison,
Deux de poison saisis nouveau venuz,
Placing it in the food of the great Prince;
Dans la cuisine du grand Prinse verser;
By the washboy, both are made known,
Par le soilard, tous deaux au faict cogneuz,
Captured are they who thought to vex the elder with death.
Prins qui cuidoit de mort l'aisne vexer.

This is an amazing Nostradamus revelation. Caught in the act of poisoning the food of King Henry III of France, two Dominican friars reveal to Henry that his two brothers who previously held the French throne, were also poisoned in the same manner. The murders were a plot by the Catholics to place their candidate, the Count de Guise, on the French throne. Henry then decided to murder the Count de Guise in order to avenge the poisonings of his brothers. He invited the Count de Guise to Blois and arranged to have him stabbed to death. The Church then sent another Dominican friar to kill Henry as well. All these murders ultimately resulted in the throne being claimed by the Protestant sympathizer, Henry IV of Navarre.
