Notradamus explained the meaning of the quatrain to the Queen in 1556. In Paris in 1559 there was a joust and the prophecy was fulfilled.
So his explanation was documented? That would be interesting to know....

A very impressive prophecy, no ambiguity, crystal clear meaning and verified by many different sources.
Funny, I'm not impressed. It's incredibly ambiguous, if you ask me. It's just mad poetry until you massage a real-life event to fit it. The meaning has nothing resembling clarity, and I'm not sure what you mean by verification. You have a quatrain of dramatic verbiage with a vaguely interesting resemblance to something that later happened, but with mostly figurative terms and nothing like names or times. The content of the quatrain may be verified, and the actual events may be verified, but the only thing that matters is the connection between the two. This brings me back to my question of the "explanation" to the Queen. Without that, the rest is useless.
