Nepueu & sang du sainct nouueau venu,

Par le surnom soustient arcs & couuert

Seront chassez mis à mort chassez nu,

En rouge & noir conuertiront leur vert.

Nephew and blood of the new saint come,

Through the surname he will sustain arches and roof:

They will be driven out put to death chased nude,

Red and black will they convert in their green.

Napoleon III Bonaparte (20.04.1808-09.01.1873) was a nephew of Napoleon I. He came to power through elections, having become the first president of France in 1848. From 1852 he became the last emperor of France. For some reason, Nostradamus calls Napoleon I a saint, although a definition given to in quatrain 1.60 fits him more: "rather a butcher than a prince". He is not a saint at all, given the ravage of the church and the number of people killed by his wars.

The 2 line. The name and glory of Napoleon I supported and maintained the authority of the nephew. He understood this. In everything even in clothes Napoleon III tried to imitate his uncle. His reign was the embodiment of Bonapartism ideas.

In the third line Nostradamus predicts the capture of the emperor, besides the insurgent people deprived him of all rights and privileges and he died in exile.

In the last line about changing colors there is an association with his two portraits by Winterhalter.

On one of them which was painted in 1855 he is depicted in black and red colors. A later portrait painted in 1857 he is depicted in green tones. Then the last line should be: "Red and black will change to green." Although in my opinion other interpretations of this line are also possible.

Linkage with other quatrains: 6.22, 4.22.

Decoding of the number 10.30. 1000-30=970, 9-1=8, we will get 870 – the year of captivity.
