The above prophesy seems like an allegorical tale. It turned out to be true in the year 1513. Henry VIII, King of England anchored with 50,000 troops on the Gaelic shore. The national flower of France is lily. The French were pale with fear at the thought of such a big attack on their country. The Roman Emperor Maximillian was well Known as royal eagle. He came to help the English and Henry won a great victory. The women of France must have shed a lot of tears on account of loss of husbands, brothers and sons in the battle.
