by Nostradamus

LXXXVI.

French.

L’An que Saturne en eau sera conjoint,

Avecques Sol le Roy fort & puissant,

A Rheims & Aix sera receu & oingt,

Apres Conquestes meurtrira innocens.

English.

In the year that Saturn in Aquarius shall be in conjunction

With Sol, the King being strong and powerful,

Shall be received and Anointed at Rheines and Aix,

After Conquest he shall murder innocent persons.

ANNOT.

This Prophecy is remarkable for the things that it foretelleth, viz. that in the year that Saturn shall be in conjunction with Sol in the Sign of Aquarius, a King of France shall be annointed both at Rhemes and Aix, for Rhemes is a City in France, where the Kings use to be Annointed and Crowned, and Aix is another in Germany, where the Emperours use to be so. But the last Verse is ominous, where he saith, that after his Conquests he shall murder innocent persons.
