The most famous of all non-biblical prophets, Michel de Nostredame, or Nostradamus, was born at St. Remy in the south of France in 1503. He first became famous for his medical work with victims of the plague that broke out at Aix-en-Provence and Lyons in 1546-47 and only after this began making prophecies. His first collection was published as an almanac of weather predictions in 1550, and in 1555 he published the first of 10 collections of prophecies (almost 1000 in all) under the title of Centuries. He died at Salon, in southern France, in 1566.

    Nostradamus wrote his prophecies in verse, for the most part in a highly symbolic style. This, and the fact that he chose not to arrange them in any particular order, makes their interpretation, in many cases, a matter of conjecture. Nonetheless, a number of the prophecies do seem to point rather clearly to events that had not yet occurred when Centuries appeared.

    The first prophecy to bring Nostradamus fame as a seer was the following:


    "The young lion will overcome the older one, in a field of combat in a single fight: He will pierce his eyes in their golden cage; two wounds in one, then he dies a cruel death."

    Four years later, in July 1559, King Henry II of France, who sometimes used the lion as his emblem, engaged in a jousting contest. The lance of his young opponent pierced the king's gilt helmet and wounded him; Henry died after prolonged agony.
