Michel de Nostredame (1503 – 1566), more commonly known as Nostradamus, was a French apothecary-turned-seer.
Biography
Born in 1503 in Saint-Rémy-de-Provence in southern France, Michel de Nostredame became an apothecary and drafted his first almanac in 1550, in which he predicted future events in relatively obscure, rhyming couplets. Around this time, he took the name Nostradamus, an incorrect Latin translation of his surname. He later published Les Prophéties, which ensured his fame and reputation.[1]
Nostradamus also left writings around Paris, containing vague prophecies as to the locations of three rings that unlocked a vault under the Café Théâtre containing the armor of the Master Assassin Thomas de Carneillon. In 1555, he was summoned to the royal court by Queen Catherine de' Medici.[2]
Nostradamus supposedly predicted the death of King Henry II, correctly foretelling that the King's skull would be pierced in a duel with his master-at-arms Gabriel, comte de Montgomery. In 1564, Catherine de' Medici appointed him Physician-in-Ordinary to her son, the young King Charles IX. Nostradamus died in Salon-de-Provence in 1566.[1]
Legacy
During the French Revolution, the French Assassin Arno Dorian collected Nostradamus' writings around Paris, eventually recovering the three rings and unlocking the Café Théâtre vault.[2]
Trivia
- Some of Nostradamus' predictions are believed to reference historical events, including the Great Fire of London, the French Revolution, the rise of Napoleon Bonaparte, World War II, the atomic bomb attacks on Japan, and the assassination of John F. Kennedy.
