00:00In 1572, France experienced one of its most horrific tragedies, the St. Bartholomew's Day Massacre.
00:07an episode that left an indelible mark on the country's history.
00:10The violence between Catholics and Protestants, the so-called Huguenots, had reached its most critical point.
00:17When thousands of Huguenots were massacred in Paris on August 23,
00:21an act that would quickly spread to other cities in France, such as Marseille, Narbonne, Toulouse and Bordeaux.
00:29Nostradamus, in his vision, had anticipated this event 17 years in advance.
00:35revealing a grim fate for the French nation.
00:38In quatrain 172, Nostradamas describes with astonishing accuracy the magnitude of the disaster.
00:45From all of Marseille's inhabitants, change, race and pursuit until near León.
00:50Narbonne, Toulouse by Bordeaux outrage, prisoners killed nearly a million.
00:55These lines tell us how the most important cities in the region would be plunged into bloody chaos,
01:02with thousands of people perishing in a climate of terror.
01:06The prophet alludes to the prisoners and the magnitude of the murder,
01:10reminding us that this massacre was not just a direct confrontation,
01:14but also an organized persecution, similar to that of a religious civil war.
01:18The quatrain 1259 also resonates with the visions of Nostradamus,
01:23indicating a terrible breach of the peace.
01:26The agreement and peace will be completely broken.
01:29Friendships corrupted by discord.
01:32Envious hatred corrupts all faith.
01:35And hope, Marseille without concord.
01:38Here, the poet seems to allude to the lack of agreement between the religious factions of the time,
01:43where hatred replaces faith.
01:46And cities, like Marseille, are caught in a whirlwind of violence and hopelessness.
01:52Peace, like a distant dream, is shattered, and the future is overshadowed by persecution and destruction.
01:59Catherine de Medici, mother of Kings Charles IX and Henry III,
02:04She was directly involved in the St. Bartholomew's Day Massacre.
02:08His fear of losing power to the growth of the Huguenots,
02:11supported by Gaspar de Coligny, led her to make drastic decisions.
02:16Nostradamus, in his quatrain 629,
02:19I had already foreseen the terrible events.
02:22The holy widow will hear the news.
02:25Of his descendants placed in perplexity and confusion,
02:28whoever will be currency will quell the disputes.
02:31Through her persecution of the racially infested, she will be filled.
02:34This verse refers to Catherine de Medici,
02:37who, after the death of her husband and several of her children,
02:40He sought to maintain control of the monarchy.
02:43The word "devastated" refers to the Calvinists.
02:46The coin refers to Pope Gregory XIII,
02:49who minted a coin to commemorate the massacre.
02:51The year 1572 was also marked by the wedding of Margaret of Valoa,
02:56with Henry of Navarre.
02:58This union, designed to consolidate peace,
03:01It ended up being a trigger for tragedy,
03:04unleashing the massacre during the celebrations.
03:06Quatrain 235 describes the violence that night.
03:09In two homes at night, the fire will start.
03:12Several inside drowned and roasted.
03:15Near two rivers, Sister will come Sun, the Arch and Caper.
03:18They will all be extinct.
03:20The Hermana rivers point to the Seine, on the island of the Cité.
03:24Through his quatrains, Nostradamus not only predicted death,
03:28but also the power shifts that would occur in the following years.
03:32In 1589, the Valoy dynasty became extinct and the Bourbon dynasty began with Henry IV.
03:40Henry IV, being a Protestant, was forced to renounce his faith in order to rule as monarch of France.
03:47Thus, Nostradamus foresaw the religious massacres and the political consequences that would follow.
03:53shaping the future of the French monarchy.
03:55History and prophecy intertwine,
03:58And the echoes of these events continue to resonate in the pages of time.
04:02The massacre, politics, and the prophecies of Nostradamus
04:06They merge to offer us a profound look at a turbulent period.
04:10These texts are part of the first century of the book Prophetic Chronology of Nostradamus.
