Did Nostradamus predict the French Revolution?

In this post, we will find out if Nostradamus predict the French Revolution. July 1970. A battalion of national guards from Marseilles enters Salon-de-Provence, welcome by the ‘Bailli’ (mayor), Citizen David. Hardly were they settled in the town, when a small group of them, led by August, a mercenary and notorious thief, went to the Church of the Cordeliers to ransack it. In doing this they opened the tomb of Nostradamus, which was at the entrance of the church, and smashed his coffin open.

The remains of the Salon-de-Provence physician were scattered, pillaged, and desecrated. Others joined in and shared out the relics as if they were those of a saint. A horrified citizen, less frightened than the others, ran to warn the mayor. He, accompanied by his own armed man, went at once to the church of the Cordeliers. A short bawl followed, in the course of which August and his fellow villains were arrested.

With their crime over (it caused them to be shot three days later), and with calm restored, the mayor gathered up what remained of the relics of the Provencale, star-gazing doctor: among them, he found a medal, on which was engraved a date: 1790! He declared to his town’s inhabitants: “Citizen Nostradamus had predicted Liberty! We owe gratitude and respect!”.
