Ellen Lloyd - AncientPages.com - No one knows his real name or date of birth and death. His entire life is shrouded in mystery. Some doubt he existed, yet his reputation and influence were remembered more than two centuries after he vanished.

Most are familiar with Michel de Nostredame (or simply Nostradamus), a French astrologer and physician whose prophecies earned him fame and a loyal following during his lifetime, but have heard of another enigmatic man who is sometimes referred to as Nostradamus of Brittany.
