Well Nostradmus is not a saint, I was a bit off kilter there - but that is definatley the same story - well I have to say that I've seen first hand how easy a prediction like that can come about!!Anne (aussieannie)https://www.blogger.com/profile/17394551569895427892noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1555268452279184838.post-20996845068822286362007-07-14T21:50:00.000+10:002007-07-14T21:50:00.000+10:00Anne, I think you are thinking of Nostradamus who ...Anne, I think you are thinking of Nostradamus who predicted the death of Henry II:<BR/><BR/>"The young lion will overcome the older one,<BR/>On the field of combat in a single battle;<BR/>He will pierce his eyes through a golden cage,<BR/>Two wounds made one, then he dies a cruel death."<BR/><BR/>I have no idea how to do a link, so I'm copying and pasting here!<BR/><BR/>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. <BR/><BR/>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. <BR/><BR/>Hope this answers your question!the mother of this lothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04173598381711792094noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1555268452279184838.post-57099841451672000322007-07-14T21:08:00.000+10:002007-07-14T21:08:00.000+10:00Oh, thank you so much for sharing, Anne.
