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. The 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 with his attempts to launch an invasion on Spain from Bearn in 1575 being 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.

Anagrams that help in giving meaning to this verse include:

2. Serpentaire chamade alerting Graal unseen danger
3. Meter rumbled resound for plenteous croft exclude rioter
4. Peters deals pleased desperate places liquer locks ruin era

Original Verse in English and French (Benoit Ed.)

In Danube and Rhine rivers coming to drink
The great Camel not repenting this act
Those of Rhone tremble & of Loire much more
and near the Alps the Cock ruins him.

Dans le Danube et du Rhin viendra boire
Le grand Chameau ne s'en repentira
Trembler du Rosne et plus fort ceux de Loire
Et pres des Alpes coq le ruinera.
