by Nostradamus

That Monarch was Henry the II. King of France, who did not Reign long, but was unfortunately slain, running at Tilt against the Earl of Montgomery (as we shall see hereafter) and almost during all his Reign had Wars with Charles the V. Emperour, and his Son Philip the II. King of Spain; the said Emperour in that time did sack Rome, took the Pope Clement the VII. prisoner, which is signified here; as also in several other places by the loss of the Fishing Boat; the Roman Church being often compared to a Ship or Boat.

Bourg & Cité auront plus grand debat,

Carcas, Narbonne auront cœurs esprouvez.

They shall be driven away without great fighting,

Those of the Countrey shall be more grieved,
