Original sentence: "  45 degrees south does not intersect any major cities.1 million or more, which intersect 45 degrees north are Montreal and Ottawa, Canada; and Beograd, Serbia; Milan, Italy comes close, at 45.5 degrees.45 degrees east offers the best chances for a city with a well known violent history.45 degrees west intersects the metropolitan area between Rio de Janeiro and Sao Paulo, Brazil, and no other major city.97 offers a fine example of working out specifics.Baghdad, Iraq, and Volgograd, Russia, both lie within one degree of 45 east, and both are well known sites of urban conflict.But this does not fit the pattern either of Baghdad or Volgograd.If "five and forty degrees" is considered as latitude, it may be equally considered as longitude, as neither word is given.None of these cities has much history of violent warfare, on a level that would cause "the sky to burn," or "flames to spread city-wide.The Normans are the inhabitants of Normandy, France, especially those of the Middle Ages.The closest the French came to the latter was under Napoleon I, who invaded Moscow, but not Volgograd.The first three verses are so vague that they can be appended to either city.The former has never been invaded by the French, not even during the Crusades.The fourth verse is much more specific, as it names the enemy: the Normans.The only cities, pop.The same problem with the above cities is true here.This is only to illustrate the power of the imagination in the inference of any number of possible meanings and contexts to a quatrain as vaguely composed as almost all of Nostradamus's.Thus, there are 4 possible intersectors, north, south, east and west.To prove the theory that Nostradamus's quatrains are sufficiently ambiguous for readers to interpret  a variety of meanings from any one of them, quatrain VI.Yet another possible contrivance of this quatrain is that Great Fire of London, England, in 1666.Yet, however well an involvement of the Normans can be inferred with this event, the fact remains that London lies at 50 degrees north, incorrect by five degrees
