Nostradamus C.8 Q.47: Destruction of the Light of the World. This is another verse with places named that dont relate to obvious locations. I believe this is Nostradamus way of getting the reader to look at the context not the actual name. It is part of his use of a gazetteer, a document that lists places by their attributes. In doing this he can incorporate code words that otherwise would be too simple to decipher. So the word Perouse misdirects attention to Perugia when it is meant to be the whole of Europe. The anagrams include one for suzerain, a reference to a country that is controlled by an outside force but granted the right of self-rule and in the case of modern Europe this would be the European Union.   Another anagram is that of Razes which is a region in Southern France that was prominent at the time that Catharism was prevalent. One of the outstanding leaders of the Cathars was Esclarmonde of Foix, a woman whose name meant  ' light of the world'. Several complex anagrams such as 'atrometer clearest pointer' imply similar attributes. But the thrust of Nostradamus interest is not the past but the future and the relevance of the past is to define philosophical leanings and metaphors for events to come. The uniting theme is held by the term predaceosness whichh alludes to plundering, pillaging and destruction, all actions consistent with the text of the fourth line. Hence what we can expect is a savage, brutal, religious war between those having dogmatic views based on minor nuances.   C.8 Q.47  Lake Tresmenien will bear witness of the conspirators locked up inside Perouse (Perugia?). A fool will imitate the wise one, killing the Teutons, destroying and cutting to pieces.
