by Nostradamus

XI.

French.

Le prochain, fils de l’Aisnier parviendra,

Tant eslevé jusqu’au au Regne des fors,

Son aspre gloire un chascun la craindra,

Mais les enfans du Regne jettez hors.

English.

The eldest Son of l’Aisnier shall prosper,

Being raised to the degree of the great ones,

Every one shall fear his high glory,

But his children shall be cast out.

ANNOT.

This is an Horoscope, for the Interpretation of which we are beholding to, Mr. Mannessier of Amiens, who saith that the Father of the Lords l’Aisniers writ to Nostradamus his friend, to know his childrens fortune, who sent him those four Verses for an answer, by which it is evident that the eldest should be an eminent Man, as it fell out, being one of the chiefest men in the Province of Anjou, and one of the chiefest instruments to make Peace between Louis the XIII. and his Mother Mary of Medicis, after the Battle of Pont de Cé.

The fourth Verse saith, that some of his other Children should be expelled the Kingdom, as it happened by reason of a false report raised against one of them, which compelled him to retire into Portugal till the truth was known, as it was afterwards to his great repute and honour.
