NOSTRADAMUS, THE MAN WHO PREDICTED THE FUTURE

Exceptional destinies

An episode from the series SECRETS OF HISTORY - PORTRAITS

Synopsis

In the 16th century, Nostradamus, the astrologer who claimed to foresee the future, was known throughout the kingdom of France. Catherine de Medici had a special relationship with him.

But who was he really? A fraud skilled in crafting vague predictions to fool the gullible or a prophet whose visions continue to captivate the imagination 450 years after his death?

His followers claim that he predicted not only the death of King Henry II but also the French Revolution, Hitler's rise to power, the Great Fire of London, and even the September 11 attacks.
