Yellow Text indicates a link to a supporting book, century or verse from Nostradamus
The Royal Sceptre will be obligated to take,
That which his predecessors had pledged
Since that the ring they will not understand,
When then one will come to sack the palace.
Mars and the Sceptre will found allied,
Under Cancer calamitous war:
Shortly after a new king will be anointed,
One who for a long time will pacify the earth.
The young Prince falsely accused,
Will put in trouble the army in quarrels,
The chief murdered for his support,
The Sceptre will bring calm: then will cure the king's evil.
The great Empire will soon be transferred,
To a small place which will soon come to increase:
Very tiny and cramped place for a County (county- shire?),
In the middle of which he will come to place his Sceptre.
Comt/e= county, shire, Earldom.
The Augur putting his hand upon the king's head,
Will come to pray for peace in Italy:
To his left hand he will transfer the Sceptre,
From a king, he will become an Emperor of peace.
What a great loss, alas! There will be to letters,
Before the cycle of Latona (Moon) is completed:
Fire, great flood and more through ignorant Sceptres,
That will not be seen restored for a long time.
Letters- learning, education etc. sceptre= a (royal) sceptre; also, a monarchy, kingdom, absolute ruler, Sovereign in chief.
The uplifted one will not understand his sceptre,
He will dishonour the young children of greatest ones:
Never, not ever was there a more odious and cruel being,
For their wives, the black one will banish to death.
After the great affliction of the Sceptre,
2 enemies will be defeated by them:
A fleet from Africa will appear before those of Hungary,
By sea and land terrible deeds will take place.
Africa, those whom Nostradamus refers to as Barbarians.
Saturn and Mars in Leon Spain captive,
By the African chief (Libyan) trapped in the conflict,
Near Malta, Herrode captured alive,
And the Cock will strike down the Roman Sceptre.
