Nostradamus C7 Q04: The cipher 'L' for places of long sad sieges.
Copyright: Allan Webber, December 2015

This verse has an important place in Nostradamus' Book of names and it presents its cipher by gathering together a collection of places where sieges have been important. The anagrams of the second line have a most unusual tone with the adjacent anagrams of 'only occasion' sugesting the special relevance of this verse while two other anagrams for 'diagnose tune' indicate what Nostradamus meant us to do with this insight.

The anagrams that flesh out this verse include:

1. Old 'ell' saddened deduce Eddan 'San-Grael' reassigns 'gee'
2. Map gained so let tune diagnose only occasion
3. Raimond D'Orlean mixed golden gene  incoct our junior pause
4. Passions personalises electrons controlments Alencons tolerances  repass

Extra Info:

An important figure in the sieges of the Cathar Crusades was Raymond VI of Toulouse and an anagram of his name is found in the third line. He was one of a succession of Counts of Toulouse who carried the name Raymond. The following is an extract that ties him and his grandfather Raimond (Raymond) IV of Toulouse to the other concepts in this verse.  

Raymond IV of Toulouse was known for being the first nobleman to take the cross and lead an army in the First Crusade. Raymond was an important leader of the Crusades armies, and participated in the capture of Antioch and Jerusalem.

The verse below contains eleven capital letters 'LLDALGAMPA' and both 'L' and 'A' with three each are most prominent.
