by Nostradamus

LI.

French.

Paris conjure un grand meurtre commettre,

Blois le fera sortir en plein effet,

Ceux d’Orleans voudront leur Chef remettre,

Angers, Troyes, Langres, leur seront un mes fait.

English.

Paris conspireth to commit a great murder,

Blois will cause it to come to pass,

Those of Orleans will set up their head again,

Angers, Troyes, Langres will do them a mischief.

ANNOT.

The Prophecy contained in the two first Verses came to pass in the time of Henry the III. King of France, when the Parisians did rebel against him, and made Barricadoes in the streets, thinking to have taken him, who was compelled to run away for his life, and fly to Chartres. This rebellion was raised and fomented by Henry of Lorraine Duke of Guise, whom the King afterwards caused to be murdered, with his brother the Cardinal of Lorraine, at the Convention of the three Estates kept at Blois.

Orleans, Angers, Troyes, Langres, are remarkable Cities in France.
