François II died just before his 17th birthday.He fulfilled many of the expectations of the prophecy further making Nostradamusthe talk of (and in some case the brunt of threats from) the courts of Europe.Other elements of this famous quatrain would continue to reveal themselves inthe following years. Mary Stuart, without any children, would return to Scotland andbecome Mary Queen of Scots.
