Nostradamus C5 Q04: Northern Europeans turn upon each other in a religious war.
Copyright: Allan Webber, December 2015

The presentation of religion found in the nearby verses is interwoven in the current verse with a very different tale about relationships of people involved in regular animal hunts.

 In the anagrams for Meleagros chases incited seed is an important catalyst for this conclusion since it holds the name of a Greek hero whose fame included his hosting of a legendary hunt.

The Bear named in the text is an alternate name given to Russia which places it in the same zone as the previous verse. In keeping with this the mastiff refers to the people around the Caucas mountains and the wolf the nations around Hungary while the Stag  references the peoples of Scandinavia.

The nature of the story given by the anagrams is one of religious difference and the evolution of a culture that hunts down the people of different faiths and cultures. 

Anagrams that help in giving meaning to this verse include:

1. Meleagros deceits instead catechised chaldees distance
2. Safer chase grants eldest sheltered Galilean angelical allegiance
3. Savior relic chafers repasses causes phasm recoil
4. Norn defiant nacelle pollute our duress

# Meleagros: the Greek name for the host of the Calydonian Boar hunt mentoned in Homer's writings. It is also the name given to a genus of beetles

C5 Q04
Original Verse in English and French (Benoit Ed.)

The large mastiff expelled from the city
Will be vexed by the strange alliance,
After having chased the stag to the fields
The wolf and the Bear will defy each other.

 

Le gros maſtin de cite deſchaſſe
Sera faſche de l'eſtrange alliance
Apres aux champs auoir le cerf chaſſe
Le loup et L'ours ſe donront defiance.
