“ Italy breathing after sceptres so high, shall stretch to him her languishing hand: But this bright beam with the vast desire of men, shall abscond itself in the clouds of God; after which many dire misfortunes and calamities shall befal mankind, &c. ”
Thomas of Erceldoune, The Whole Prophecies of Scotland…
“ A Star shall arise in Europe over the Hiberians, towards the great house of the north, whose beams shall unexpectedly enlighten the whole world: This shall be in a most desireable time, when mortals wearied with wars, shall unanimously desire peace; they shall strive indeed, by reason of a long lasting vacancy, with various studies, who shall obtain the power of empire, but at last the off-spring of the ancient blood shall overcome, and proceed victoriously by force of arms, till resisted by contrary fates ”
