Nostradamus C3 Q16: A battle for rights to fields sees one of three children die.
Copyright: Allan Webber, December 2015

As with the previous verse the anagrams of this current verse there are strong indications in the anagrams of a battle over resources with the mineral in question in this verse being crude (ur de c) oils (lois) and its refined product gasoline (e Anglois) with all three being found in the first line of text which says  An English prince (with) Mars (War) in his heavenly heart.

In each of the first three lines there are anagrams for gods and goddesses from different ancient cultures that imply that the issues under challenge relate to the fortuitous manner by which the owner's wealth is unlocked. It is also apparent from both the text and anagrams that the battle begins over what is meant to be a shared inheritance.

# Fortuna: name of Roman Goddess of Luck who could be both capricious or bountiful upon a whim - she was one of the three Parcae (Fates).
# Moiras: three Greek Goddesses of destiny equivalent to the Roman Parcae, English Fates and Nordic Norns.
# Portunes: god of keys, doors and livestock in ancient Roman religion.
# lignocaine: local anaesthetic used for minor surgery such as dental work.
# parcener: in law a co-heir or person who takes anequal sharewith another or others.
