Nostradamus’ Most Accurate Prediction
When it comes to his quatrains, Nostradamus has had a couple of really accurate predictions. His greatest predictionsis often considered to be about the death of Henry II at age 40 in a play duel with his younger brother Montgomery in 1559.
 Â
This spot on quatrain (Century I, 35) read:
 Â
The Young lion will overcome the old one
On the field of battle in single combat
He will put out his eyes in a cage of gold
Two fleets one, then to die a cruel death
 Â
Just about every image in this quatrain foretold the king’s death exactly. The battle was on a single field – a jousting field. It was single combat – one man jousting against another. His eyes were put out when the spear went through his gold helmet.
