On the evening of July 1, he is alleged to have told his secretary Jean de Chavigny, "You will not find me alive at sunrise." The next morning he was reportedly found dead, lying on the floor next to his bed and a bench (Presage 141 for November 1567, as posthumously edited by Chavigny to fit). This was followed by a much shorter codicil.

In late June he summoned his lawyer to draw up an extensive will bequeathing his property plus 3,444 crowns (around $300,000 US today) - minus a few debts - to his wife pending her remarriage, in trust for her sons pending their twenty-fifth birthdays and her daughters pending their marriages. Thankfully, at the time of writing, China is a peaceful nation that is very keen to sustain, establish and build friendly relationships with other states – so hopefully this is one prediction the great Frenchman has gotten wrong.By 1566, Nostradamus' gout, which had plagued him painfully for many years and made movement very difficult, turned into oedema, or dropsy. This sinister figure will trigger the Third World War, or Apocalypse, which will result in the complete destruction of civilisation as we know it! To date, this has yet to happen and scholars widely agree that Nostradamus appears to suggest that the final Antichrist will come from China. Nostradamus is not dissimilar to many prophets when he speaks of the coming of the apocalypse at the end of the twentieth century: ‘In the year 1999 and seven months from the sky will come the great King of Terror, before and afterwards war reigns happily…’ He speaks of the ‘man of blood’ from the East who is apparently the third Antichrist. In the twentieth century Nostradamus ominously foresaw: ‘Beast wild with hunger will cross the rivers, the greater part of the battlefield will be against Hister.’ This statement is astonishing, not only because of the accuracy of the name (very close to Hitler), but because when the Nazi leader attacked the USSR, his forces did indeed cross many of the major rivers in Eastern Europe and Russia – turning the tide of war against the Third Reich. Hitler’s atrocities were foreseen by the French clairvoyant. Thus, Nostradamus’s prediction was proven correct! This calamity had resulted in the black one being used as a substitute for the meal. Later that evening the host was stunned to discover that a wolf had strayed into the kitchen and had consumed the carcass of the white pig. Seeking to disprove Nostradamus, the nobleman instructed his chef to prepare the white pig for the meal. The Frenchman proclaimed that a wolf would eat the white one, whilst the guests would feast upon the black beast that evening. Whilst staying with a member of the French aristocracy, Nostradamus was asked to predict which pig from two they would eat for dinner – the back or the white. This wild prophecy did indeed come to pass when in 1585 he became Pope Sixtus V. Whilst travelling in Italy, he predicted that an obscure monk he met by chance on a dusty country path named Felice Peretti would one day become Pope. Nonetheless, during Nostradamus’s lifetime incredible evidence of his talents emerged. It is for this reason that many of his predictions remain obscure and have only been conclusively deciphered with the benefit of hindsight. The Frenchman chose to compose his visions in the form of poetic quatrains in order to avoid being accused of witchcraft by the Inquisition.

From 1555 onwards, he published the ‘Centuries’ – a series of ten volumes of predictions. His mode of divination involved focusing upon a bowl of water which was carefully positioned upon a brass tripod. However, Nostradamus was best known as an exceptional clairvoyant. But he was remarkably successful at treating victims. The Black Death ravaged Europe during Nostradamus’s life.
