by Nostradamus

LXVI.

French.

Le grand Baillif d’Orleans mis a mort.

Sera par un de sang vindicatif,

De mort merite ne mourra, ne par sort,

Des pieds & mains mal, le faisoit captif.

English.

The great Bailif of Orleans shall be put to death,

By one of a revengeful blood,

He shall not die of a deserved death, nor by chance,

But the disease of being tied hand and foot, hath made him prisoner.

ANNOT.

The Bailif of Orleans is a great Officer, for he is there Lord Chief Justice, and of all the precincts. It seemeth that this man shall be put to death, by one of a revengeful blood, not that he had deserved it, or come to it by chance, but because he shall be tied hand and foot, and die in prison.
