Nostradamus C5 Q68: A descendant of Henry IV will lead a foreign army into France.
Copyright: Allan Webber, December 2015

This verse tells the story of a treaty that shapes the destiny of distant places.

 At one level it is the tale of King Henry IV of France, who needed to switch his religious allegiance in 1593 in order to end the four-year challenge on his right to hold the throne. T

he focal point for this version of the story is the anagram of Henri IV ( Rhin vie) in the first line.

Henri had ongoing ties to the Ottoman Empire and traces of his connections can be found throughout many of the verses.

His attempts to launch an invasion on Spain from Bearn in 1575 are relevant to this verse.

Henry's story also serves as an allusion suggesting that the invasion of France in the 21st century is partially engineered by one of Henry's descendants.
