The 4th line. In his works Jonathan defended the interests of the Irish people, violated by England at that time. In pamphlets he urged the Irish to fight for the equal rights of citizens of both islands. As a result, England was forced to make economic concessions to Ireland. The common people of this country loved and honored Jonathan Swift.
Probable decoding of number 2.28. 2000-28=1972. If we flip 9 into 6 and 2 into 5, then it will be 1675+1=1676. By putting 6 at the end we will get 1667 – the year of birth.
Quatrain 4.89 Conspiracy against the King
Trente de Londres secret coniureront,
Contre leur Roy sur le pont l'entreprinse,
Luy, satalites la mort degousteront,
Vn Roy esleu blonde, natif de Frize.
Thirty of London will conspire secretly
Against their King, the enterprise on the bridge:
He and his satellites will have a distaste for death,
A fair King elected, native of Frisian.
The 1 line is probably about the conspiracy against James II. The leaders of the two main parties of England Whigs and Tory had a conspiracy. They decided to replace the undesired monarch (Catholic) with his daughter Mary (Protestant) and her husband William. The conspiracy was led by the "Immortal Seven": the Bishop of London and six his companions. They sent an invitation to stadtholder of Holland and Maria to occupy the throne of England and protect the Protestant religion.
The 3 line. When William of Orange landed with the army in England, James was not killed. He managed to escape to France and his family was sent there too.
The 4 line. Before England William was the ruler of Netherlands – native of Frisian. He has white hair on the child's portrait. In adult portraits the hair color cannot be determined due to the wigs.
Linkage with other quatrains: 10.22, 10.4, 10.26, 8.58.
Decoding of the number 4.89. If 9 to consider as 9000, then 9000-84=8916. The permutation of the digits gives 1689-1=1688 – the year of conspiracy.
Quatrain 10.22 Exile of James II
Pour ne vouloir consentir au diuorce,
Qui puis apres sera cogneu indigne,
Le Roy des Isles sera chasse par force,
Mis a son lieu qui de Roy n'aura signe.
For not wishing to consent to the divorce,
Which then afterwards will be recognized as unworthy:
The King of the Islands will be driven out by force,
In his place put one who will have no mark of a king.
The 3 line. During the whole history after Nostradamus, only one king was exile from the islands of England and Ireland – James II. Under the influence of his wife, he became a supporter of Catholicism, not popular in Protestant England. Neither people, nor nobility not wanted his reign. His daughter and son-in-law were invited instead of him. James II was forced to flee to France in 1688.
The 2 line. Unworthy – can be considered that he abandoned the army after the defeat in the battle at the river Boyne.
The 4 line. The King of France Louis XIV welcomed the outcast, granted him a palace and maintenance, but this place was no longer royal.
As the saying goes, "history repeating itself." 250 years later, another king of England, Edward VIII, also came under the influence of a woman, abdicated and left England. Like James II, he settled in France. Even the date of the abdication of both coincided – December 11.
Linkage with other quatrains: 8.58, 10.26, 10.4.
Decoding of the number 10.22. If 1 and 2 to swap – 2012, then 2000-12=1988. 9 flip in 6 we get 1688 – the year of exile.

William III of Orange (1650-1702) – the invited king of England, Scotland and Ireland from 1689. Before that he was ruler of Netherlands from 1672. James II, who ruled before him, had no children for a long time, so he was tolerated in the hope that after him crown would been been inherited by his daughter, protestant Mary. Unexpectedly, at age of 55, the king gave birth to the heir. This caused a conspiracy against the king. The son-in-law William and daughter Maria were invited to take his place. Previously, William visited England several times. The people loved him, as one of the main defenders of Protestantism of that time.
The 1 line. James II repeatedly attempted to regain the crown. William had to fight with his supporters (Jacobites). In 1689 he defeated them in Scotland, then in 1690 he – in Ireland. To this day Protestants celebrate this victory as a holiday.

However, he created a powerful army and navy and successfully resisted the most powerful Catholic monarch. Louis resigned himself. In 1697 they signed a peace treaty.

Quatrain 10.4 Battle on the Boyne
Sus la minuict conducteur de l'armee
Se sauuera subit esuanouy,
Sept ans apres la fame non blasmee,
A son retour ne dira oncq ouy.
At midnight the leader of the army
Will save himself, suddenly vanished:
Seven years later his reputation unblemished,
To his return not once they will say yes.
This is a prophecy which came true about the failed attempt of deposed King James II to regain the crown of England. In 1690 James landed in Ireland, having gathered an army of untrained militia men. The battle took place on July 1, 1690 on the river Boyne and became the largest in the history of this country. A new and deposed kings personally commanded their armies. William III won. The Jacobites did not suffer any special losses and successfully retreated, but many soldiers deserted. Dublin was surrendered without a fight. The army of William of Orange triumphantly entered into it. So the Glorious revolution was finished.
