Nostradamus C8 Q76: The cannibal king that bleeds the English during a gentler revolution.
Copyright: Allan Webber, December 2015

One anagram above all others sets the tone of this verse since the first line says More of a butcher than a king and an anagram in the third line delivers Laestrygonians.

This name  is that of an ancient race of giant cannibals in Homer's Odyssey.

There is also an anagram for Sassenach which is a term used by the Gaelic inhabitants of the British Isles to refer to the English inhabitants.

So we have ,as a starting point, a story about a tall king who is there to harvest the flesh of the English.
