Did Nostradamus predict the London Fire?
“The blood of the just will commit a fault at London,Burnt through lighting of twenty threes the six:The ancient lady will fall from her high place,Several of the same sect will be killed.”
Maybe you never heard of the Great London Fire of 1666, but that doesn’t mean it wasn’t a big deal back then. The fire itself pretty much wrecked most of medieval London within the old Roman walls. Only six deaths were recorded ( “the six” in the second line), though poor people and commoners’ deaths may not have been recorded..The fire, which supposedly started in a baker’s shop, scorched the city for three days straight. Obviously if people had known that’s what the translation was, they could have added Nostradamus to their fire safety manaual and avoided the blaze.
