Decoding of the number 8.23. If 8 to consider as 800 and to flip 2 in 5, then 800-35=765. By adding 1 to the end and reading it in reverse order we get 1567 – year of the casket was found.
Quatrain 5.93 Under lunar globe
Sous le terroir du rond globe lunaire,
Lors que sera dominateur Mercure:
L'isle d'Escosse sera vn luminaire,
Qui les Anglois mettra à deconfiture.
Under the land of the round lunar globe,
When Mercury will be dominating:
The isle of Scotland will produce a luminary,
One who will put the English into confusion.
If this prophecy is not applied to the future, then the possible option is the battle of 1575, the last major battle on the island. All other wars between England and Scotland were before Nostradamus. Raid of the Redeswire on a border of these countries has resulted in the victory of Scotland. Later, one king ruled both countries.
Probable decoding of number 5.93. If we flip 9 in 6 and consider it as 600, then 600-53=547, by adding 1 to 4 and putting it in the end it will be 575 – the year of the battle.
Quatrain 7.16 The battle of Zutphen
Entrée profonde par la grand Royne faicte;
Rendra le lieu puissant inaccessible:
L'armée des trois Lyons sera deffaicte,
Faisant dedans cas hideux & terrible.
The deep entry made by the great Queen
will make the place powerful and inaccessible;
the army of the three lions will be defeated,
causing within a thing hideous and terrible.
The Battle of Zutphen took place on 22.09.1586 between the Spaniards and the Anglo-Dutch during the Eight Years' War. Queen Elizabeth I of England sent an army to Netherlands led by the Earl of Leicester. The flag of England features three leopards. The Spaniards, led by Farnese, won.
A thing hideous and terrible. On the eve of 14 participants in the Babington conspiracy, who attempted on the life of Elizabeth, were brutally executed. They were gutted, hung and quartered. A few months later Mary Stuart was executed. The conspiracy was uncovered thanks to the work of Elizabeth's secret agents.
Decoding the number 7.16. 700-16=684. 684+1=685. In reverse order we get 586 year.
Quatrain 3.81 Cromwell elected head of the army
Le grand criard sans honte audacieux,
Sera esle gouuerneur de l'armee,
La hardiesse de son contentieux
Le pont rompu, Cite de peur pasmee.
