by Nostradamus

Du Ciel viendra un grand Roy d’effrayeur,

Resusciter le grand Roy d’Angoumois,

Avant apres, Mars Regner par bonheur.

English.

In the year a thousand nine hundred ninety nine, and seven months,

From Heaven a great terrible King,

To raise again the great King of Angoulesme,

Before and after, Mars shall Reign luckily.

ANNOT.

He that is called here King of Angoulesme was Francis the I. as gallant a Prince as ever France had, who before he was King went by the title of Duke of Angoulesme; the rest is easie.
