Famous Fulfilled Prophecies
Death of Henry II
The young lion will overcome the older one,
On the field of combat in a single battle;
He will pierce his eyes through a golden cage,
Two wounds made one, then he dies a cruel death.
(Century 1, Quatrain 35)
This quatrain foretelling the death of King Henry II of France in a jousting accident is one of the most famous, predocumented, and successfully
fulfilled prophecies in history.
"In June 1559, Henry II ignored all warnings that Nostradamus gave him and participated in a jousting tournament against the Comte de Montgomery.
Both men used shields embossed with lions. Montgomery was six years younger than Henry. A tournament is a field of ritual single combat.
During the final bout, Montgomery failed to lower his lance in time. It shattered, sending a large splinter through the king's gilded visor (golden
cage). Along with minor punctures in the face and throat, there were two mortal wounds. One splinter destroyed the king's eye; the other impaled his
temple just behind the eye. Both penetrated his brain. Henry lingered for ten agonizing days before dying a cruel death. "

I wouldn't say that he was wrong 100% of the time.
I googled Prophecy for Dummies and came up with no book of that title. Do you have an author or info where you can get the book? It is not on
amazon.com either.
