Clipping the wings of those of Friday.

Most probably, this prophecy about Philip II (1527-1598) .He ruled 42 years from 1556, as King of Spain, Portugal, Sicily, Naples, the Netherlands and all Spanish colonies in Ameriсa. He had high efficiency, controlled all the many subordinate territories. himself took all the important decisions and appointments. He cruelly and mercilessly dealt with infidels and all who did not suit him.

The 2 line. Perhaps in this line the struggle of the monarch with the Moors who inhabited the south of Spain is predicted. Under the pressure of Philip, the Moriscos accepted Christianity outwardly, remaining faithful to Mohammed. The king understood this and in every way oppressed them and evicted them. This caused an uprising, which in 2 years was brutally suppressed. In 1560 Spain sent a navy to the shores of North Africa, but the Turkish fleet defeated the Spanish.

The 4 line. Friday is a festive day for Muslims. Philip II, as heir to the Great Roman Empire, considered it his sacred duty to protect and spread Catholicism. The Inquisition was one of the forms of combating heresy, which was particularly rampant. Throughout his reign, Philip periodically waged war against the Turks. Spain had a huge fleet of "Invincible Armada", which was destroyed by storm and British.

Quatrain 7.29 A monument erected

Le grand Duc d'Albe se viendra rebeller,

A ses grands peres fera le tradiment:

Le grand de Guise le viendra debeller,

Captif mene & dresse monument.

The great Duke of Alba will come to rebel,

he will betray his great forebears.

The great de Guise will come to vanquish him,

Captive led and a monument erected.

Presumably, this quatrain is about the siege of Metz by the Spaniards (1552-1553) during the 10th Italian War. The grand duke of Alba (29.10.1507-11.12.1582) commanded the Spanish troops. The duke de Guise led the defense of the fortress. Many noble nobles of France also participated in it. The French launched a sortie and won a decisive victory with minimal losses. The Spaniards suffered huge losses and fled, leaving behind the sick and wounded. De Guise organized assistance to the wounded prisoners.
