While not stating it specifically in either of his letters of instruction for The Prophecies (the Preface and the Epistle to Henry II of France), the theme of the stories told in the quatrains are of tyrants who will rule ruthlessly, in inhumane ways. Only in quatrain X-90 did Nostradamus pen the words tyran inhumain together, where the singular number tells of the last “inhumane tyrant,” the one who will have led the whole world to irreparable damage [i.e.: nuclear warfare]. Still, that one “tyrant inhumane” is simply a reflection of a world no longer ruled by Christianity.
