Nostradame

Michael de Nostradame was a French apothecary who published prophecies that have become famous worldwide. The very first edition of his book materialized about 11 years before he died, while logic may suggest Nostradamu's claims could apply to almost any event, some of them rerily close to reality. I can't say I believe in things like this, but I foud some of them scary.

The Great Fire of London

Prediction:

The blood of the just will be lacking in London,

Burnt up in the fire of 66:

The ancient Lady will topple from her high place,

Many of the same sect will be killed.

The great fire of London was a major conflagration that swept through London

French Revolution

Prediction:

From the enslaved people, songs, chants and demands,

The princes and lords are held captive in prisons

In the future by such headless idiots

These will be taken as divine utterances.

Before the war comes,

The great wall will fall,

The King will be executed, his death coming too soon will be lamented.

The Guards will swim in blood,

Near the River Seine the soil will be bloodied.

The French Revolution was a period of radical social and political upheaval in French and European history. The absolute monarchy that had ruled France for centuries collapsed in three years. Old ideas about hierarchy and tradition succumbed to new Enlightenment principles of citizenship and inalienable rights.

Rise of Napoleon

Prediction:

Will be more of the fire than of the blood,

To swim in praise,

the great one to flee to the confluence.

He will refuse entry to the Piuses,

The depraved ones and the Durance will keep them imprisoned.

This, again, is one of the famous prophecy of Nostradamus  in which he directly mentioned the name of person. In this quatrain Nostradamus mentions about the rise of napoleon and describe Napoleon as "more of fire than of blood''.
