Well having looked through N's work came across this little number
note it also demonstrates how the Q's work no decryption no code but
simple word play!
C8Q43. Through the fall of two ***** creatures the nephew of the
blood will occupy the throne. Within Lectoure 3 there will be blows of
lances, the nephew through fear will fold up his standard.
3 within Lectoure = Sedan
XLIII. Par le decide 4 de deux choses bastars Nepveu du sang occupera
le regne Dedans lectoyre 5 seront les coups de dars Nepveu par peur
plaire l'enseigne.
4 decide = Latin decidere to fall
5 Lectoure = sedan
CVIIIQ 43. Here we have what is surely the most remarkable of all Le
Pelletier's interpretations. It must be remembered that his book was
published in 1867, under the Second Empire of Napoleon III. Following
the overthrowal of the two illegitimate governments of Louis Philippe
of Orleans and of the National Assembly of 1848, Napoleon III, the
great nephew of the founder of the Napoleonic dynasty, will mount the
throne of France. At a later date* there will be, within Lectoyre a
battle in which the imperial Nephew because of fear will have the
standard folded.
(Le Pelletier's footnotes:] *This epoch is indeterminate and nothing
now (1866) makes it foreseeable.
Enigma. The name of Lectoure, town in the department of Gers, comes
naturally to mind. Nevertheless, the word Lectoyre might, in one of the
many tongues familiar to Nostradamus (Hebrew, Greek, Latin, Celtic,
Provencal, Spanish and Italian) have a connotation not yet perceived,
and which will be revealed after the event itself, as happens in a
number of predictions. '+ What standard? This presents an enigma which
will not be cleared up until-if ever-an ulterior event, humanly
impossible to foresee. The inversion of subjects and of realm, familiar
to oracles, permit transposing to the passive of that which appears to
be active (as happened to Croesus, King of Lydia, to whom the Delphic
Oracle had replied that in passing the Halys, he would overthrow a
great empire: from which Croesus had believed himself able to conclude
that he would overthrow the Persian Empire while, on the contrary, he
overthrew his own), and vice versa, they permit transposing to the
active that which appears to be passive. There are thus grounds for
believing that this refers to the imperial nephew, who will cause the
banner of his enemies to be folded by the terror of his arms. It could
nevertheless mean the contrary, and the calculated ambiguity of the
text have as its object to veil, until its realization, a check to the
fortunes of the imperial arms [sic!].
With all these nervous "not-that-I-mean-the-Emperor-will-be-defeated"
apologies, Le Pelletier, in the name of Nostradamus, scored a
bull's-eye. That left one big question: how to get Sedan out of
lectoyre?
Le Pelletier's English alter ego, Ward (1891), offered an answer.
After much difficulty and searching I have at last come upon two old
maps.... In one of these the embattled town of Sedan is given as seated
on the right bank of the Meuse, while on the left bank is shown an
extensive territory named Grand Torcy and Petit Torcy.... In a more
modern map it appears as Le Grand Torcy. Now Lectoyre is the precise
anagram, letter for letter, of Le Torcey, though the commoner [sic!]
spelling is without the second e, Le Torcy. If we are to reckon this as
being a chance coincidence, my only further comment will be, that such
chance as this is quite as miraculous as any miracle in the world could
be.
In brief, as Ward could have found without all these old maps, Le Torcy
is a suburb of Sedan. Did any fighting take place at Le Torcy? The
interesting answer is given by one Colonel Maude in his article on
Sedan in the Encyclopaedia Britannica:
The only part which its [Sedan's] defenses played, or might have
played, in the ensuing battle lay in the strategic possibilities of the
fine and roomy bridge-head of Torcy, covering an elbow bend of the
Meuse whence the whole French army might have been hurled between the
German Ill. and Meuse armies, had there been a Napoleon to conceive and
execute this plan.
The white flag was hoisted first on Sedan's church, then on its
citadel. The formal surrender of the Emperor took place at the Castle
of Bellevue in Donchery, about two miles west of Torcy.
