What really happened to Marie Antoinette’s family?
Dauphin of France Madame
Du Barry
9-77
The realm taken, the King will conspire
The lady taken to death, ones sworn by lot
They will refuse life to the Queen’s son
And the mistress will have the strength of the consort.
Marie Antoinette leaving the tribunal after being condemned to death.
The
fate of Marie Antoinette, the lady taken to death, condemned by a jury,
ones sworn by lot. She was the only Queen in French history to have endured
such a bizarre fate! Her husband Louis was executed on Jan 21, 1793, but
the Queen was not executed until the following October. She had a newly
created Revolutionary Tribunal to judge her, which was served by a jury
chosen by lot, as Nostradamus says here.
The mistress he speaks of, was Madame Du Barry, mistress of the previous
King. She was imprisoned along with Marie Antoinette, and shared the same
fate of execution on the guillotine. She was condemned for helping emigres
leave the country. Both women met their fate with dignity and courage.
Note the third line, where Nostradamus says they will refuse life to the
Queen’s son, which is historically exactly correct. That is, they did not
kill him, they just gave orders that he was not to live, i.e. death by
neglect, abuse, starvation.
During the revolution which was to dethrone him, the Bourbon King did much
conspiring before he died - indeed, this was the sole reason why he died.
Instead of keeping their problems to themselves, at the very least, keeping
them within French soil, the King and Queen reached out to ask for help
from foreign countries, chiefly the Queen’s relatives in Austria. This
did not sit well with the revolutionaries, who branded them as enemies
and traitors to the French cause of democracy - deserving of death.
Note that in the numbering of this quatrain 9-77, we are given two digits
of the date 1793 in which she died.
The Queen’s daughter Madame
Royal, was born in the winter of 1779, thus making her 14 years old when
her mother was executed. This girl along with her brother, was kept locked
up by the revolutionaries during the French Revolution.

The convict Queen seeing her daughter pale
Because of a sorrow contained within her stomach
Lamentable cries will then come out of Angouleme
And the marriage to the first cousin will be impeded
What happened to her? The second line seems to say she was raped, perhaps even made pregnant. This would not be unthinkable, considering Robespierre’s rather bizarre sexual repressions of the time. Although he himself was unmarried, he felt a curious urge to make other men marry. He had tried, though without success, to carry a motion obliging all priests to marry. Six weeks after the Queen’s death, he wanted the Committee of Public Safety to force every girl over 15 years old either to marry or be delivered to the public - that is, prostituted. This, said an English spy of the age, was aimed at Madame Elizabeth the King’s sister, and Madame Royal, his daughter, who could traditionally only marry princes.
Marie-Therese Charlotte, Madame Royal duchesse d'Angoulême
(1778-1851)
Madame
Royal had been betrothed in 1787, to her first cousin, the Duke of Angouleme.
He was the son of Louis’ brother Artois. Of course, when the revolution
came along, her marriage was “impeded” as Nostradamus says.
Madame Royal escaped the revolution with her life. In 1795 she was handed
over to the Austrians in exchange for French prisoners of war. Then, she
finally married her betrothed in 1799. Her marriage was childless, and
it has been suggested that this was due to her suffering in the Temple,
but perhaps there were consequences from her ordeal even more far reaching
than we know, as Nostradamus seems to indicate here.
Madame Royal lived on frozen and embittered until 1851. On her tombstone,
are inscribed the words;
“Ask yourselves, all ye who pause here, if your sorrows are equal unto mine.”
Note in the numbering of this quatrain 10-17, we are given two digits of the year 1794, in which this event happened.
The
next quatrains detail the death of the youngest Prince of the Royal family,
the son of Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette. After his elder brother died,
he became heir to the French throne, and when his father Louis was executed,
the then ten year old boy became King Louis XVII.
No one really knows what happened to him. He was taken from the Temple
in July of 1793, and given to a Parisian cobbler named Simon who was supposed
to look after him. According to Harmand, who examined him on December 19,
1794, he had “two tumors on his arm, and swellings on both knees.”
In 1795, Achille Sevestre formally announced his death. He stated “Citizens,
for some time the son of Capet has been inconvienced by a swelling on the
right knee and the left wrist. On the 15th Floreal (May 4) the pains increased,
and at quarter past 2:00 p.m. we recieved news of the death of the son
of Capet.”

His hand in a sling and his leg bound
The younger Louis will leave the palace
Upon the watchword his death will be delayed
Then he will bleed in the temple at Easter.
Louis Charles de France, future Louis XVII (1785-1795)

Before the coming of the Celtic ruin
In the temple, two will speak
Dagger in the heart of one mounted on a steed, and pike
They will bury the great one without making any noise.
These
two quatrains refer to this sad event. It is more than obvious that the
Republican Committee wanted the boy dead. After all, he was the new King
of France. However, to have executed a ten year old boy in public, would
have revolted even the most hardened of the French rabble, so they could
not afford to do that. The only other thing they could do, they did. They
let him die of neglect.
Nostradamus says that he died in the Temple at Easter, and they quickly
then buried him without making any noise. It is known to history that Louis
was buried somewhere, but to this day, the site remains a mystery.
His death certificate was first was drawn up in Paris, on June 12,
1795 in the name of Louis Charles Capet, age ten years old two months,
son of Louis Capet, last king of the French
The third line says who
is responsible for his death, but it is not enough information to pin it
down. Note only the use of the word Pike, which certainly hints at the
French revolution! The temple of the 2nd line also concurs with quatrain
8-45. Before the coming of the Celtic ruin refers to the time just prior
to Napoleon’s advent upon the world stage.
Over the years there have
been many imposters and many theories about what really happened to this
child. Was he rescued and taken to safety somewhere else? Was he switched
with another child? A man called Karl Wilhelm Naundorff was buried in the
Netherlands and the epitaph on his tombstone reads Here lies Louis XVII
King of France.
In 1998 the center for human genetics decided to exhume and test Karl’s
DNA and compare it with samples they had of two living maternal relatives
of Louis XVI. Tests turned out to be negative. He was not the prince.
But there was yet another chance to prove the prince’s identity. Apparently
when the child died, his heart had been removed by the physician. The relic
had somehow been secretly spirited away and then kept in a crystal urn
in the crypt at St. Denis in Paris. Now thoughts turned to checking out
the DNA on that. Was this really the heart of the prince? Two samples were
taken and given to two separate laboratories for tests. Both came up with
the same answer. The DNA from this heart provided very strong evidence
that matched the samples from the living relatives. It was concluded that
the prince did indeed die in the temple
