He was a 15th century doctor. He did poorly in medical school. But he showed a lot of insight during the bubonic plaque by abandoning the practice of bleeding patients and starting the practice of burning their possessions after they died.
For a couple of years after he retired, he did what he is famous for. He wrote these strange verses called quatrains. They are considered by some to be metaphorical predictions of what would be the future for him. He is credited for predicting three tyrants with the first being Napoleon and the second being Hitler. The third is yet to show himself. He is also credited for predicting the French revolution, the work of Lois Pasture and he joins Jean Dixon as a supposed prophet of the JFK assassination.
There are many predictions he is credited for. But there are some problems. Like I say the predictions are metaphorical, somewhat like the bible book of revelations. It is easy to fit any event into some quatrain. He rarely gave exact dates. But he did give a date of 1997 I believe. I am sorry but I forgot what the prediction is. But I know that it never happened. He also gave the year that the world will come to an end. That year is sometime in the 4th millennium.

Michel de Nostrodame known as Nostrodamus was a 16th century physician/philosopher/seer credited with many predictions of the future. He wrote what he saw in the future in he form of what is called quatraines to disguise his predictions from the rulers of the time.

He was a French man whose name was Michel de Notre-Dame who forsaw many things that supposedly became true.The interesting thing is that he used riddles mixing Old French and latin that people can more or less explain as they want.
