Nostradamus becames so popular that Queen Ctherine medici summoned him to Paris. He was appointed as personal physician to Henri II, despite one of his quatrains predicting the death of the king.

The young lion shall overcome the older

On the field of combat by single combat.

In a golden cage he shell put out his eye,

Two wounds from one, then he shell die a cruel death.

(Century. 1 - Quatrains 35)

The King was killed when a lance splintered pierced his eye during a tournment. He died as a result of his injuires.

Nostradamus made many predictions for his own time, and hundreds for events many years into the future. The following quatrains is interpreted as the start of the French revolution, the uprising of the people, followed by the King listening to Marie Antoinette, and finally betraying his promise not to leave the Tuileries.

Under the pretext of freeing the people,

The people themselves will usurp power.

He shall do worse beacause of the trickery of a young whore.

He shall betray in the field, delivering a false promise.

(Century. 5 - Quatrain 5)

The royal couple escaped from the Tuileries, and was heading for a hiding place in Varennes, when their coachman lost his way in the forest of Reines. The captured Queen was dressed in white, the king in grey.

By night there will come by the forest of Reines

A married couple, by a devoius route.

A queen - white stone, a monk- king in gray at Varennes.

Elected Capet, causes tempest, fire and bloody slicing.

(Century. 9 - Quatrain 20)

Is this Nepoleon ?

An Emperor will be born near Italy,

Who will cost his empire dearly.

They will say when they see his allies,

That he is less a prince than a butcher.

(Century. 1 - Quatrains 60)

Could this be Hitler?

Wild and hungry beasts will cross rivers.

The greatest battles shall be against Hister.

He will cause great men to be dragged in a cage of iron,

When this son of Germany respects no law.

(Century. 2 - Quatrain 24)

For our own time, perhaps the most intriguing is the following quatrain.

Sooner or later you will see great changes made.

Extreme horrors and vengeance.

As Islam is thus led by its angel,

The heavens draw near to the balance.

(Century. 1 - Quatrain 56)

The final word should go to Nostradamus himself, who had a superstitious fear of people walking on his grave, and gave instructions that he be buried upright. On his death, in 1566, his wishes were carried out and he was interred in the wall of the church of cordeliers. After his death his frame increased and rumors began to spread that important papers had been secreted in his coffin.

In 1700 the authorities at Salon bowed to pressure and gave premission for hisa coffin to be examined. No papers were found, but a medallion was discovered hanging from the skeleton. It was inscribed :1700.

Recently the Histroy Chanel started to air a program that analyzes of all of the 2012 theories. It calls new stories the "Nostradamus Effect." Nostradamus is so well known for all of his future predictions that you might refer to him as the "Father of Future Predictions."
