Rinascimento, Girolamo Cardano medico e astrologo
So, when he eventually casts the horoscope, Jerome tells the Archbishop some – but not all – of what he sees in the charts. His Grace, he says, will find happiness – but only through worry and danger. There is no immediate cause for concern, but he might find his life in peril in two years time (in 1554) and again in 1560.
Much like the wiliest of weather forecasts, the prediction couldn’t ever be proved wrong, but it is certainly not an accurate depiction of future events as Jerome saw them. That is clear now, in 1570, when Jerome’s heart tells him Hamilton is already dead, and cannot help him out of this prison cell.
