Who are all these emperors? Has Nostradamus really foreseen the coming of Napoleon some 250 years before it occured? The criteria for regrouping the quatrains are based on some identified keywords.
Emperor Napoleon (eventually)
Many interpreters believe that these quatrains refer to Napoleon.
1.60 Potentially Napoleon
"An Emperor will be born near Italy,"
Who will obtain the Empire very dearly.
They will say of him and the ones he allies,
That will be thought of less prince than butcher.
8.1 Potentially Napoleon
"Pau, Nay, Loron will be more of fire than blood,"
"to swim in praise, the great one to flee to the confluence (of rivers)."
He will refuse entry to the magpies
Pampon and the Durance will keep them confined.

Some interprets read there Na Paul Léon (Napoleon). There remains a doubt.
8.99 Potentially Napoleon
"Through the power of three temporal kings,"
"the sacred seat will be put in another place,"
where the substance of the body and the spirit
will be restored and received as the true seat.
10.32 Potentially Napoleon
"The great empire, everyone would be of it,"
One will come to obtain it over the others:
"But his realm and state will be of short duration,"
Two years will he be able to maintain himself on the sea.
Empires and emperors
5.45 Great Empire
The great Empire will soon be desolated
And transferred to near the Ardennes:
"The two bastards beheaded by the oldest one,"
And Bronzebeard the hawk-nose will reign.
1.32 Great empire
The great Empire will soon be exchanged
"for a small place, which soon will begin to grow."
A small place of tiny area
in the middle of which he will come to lay down his scepter.
5.95 Great Empire
"The nautical oar will tempt the shadows,"
Then it will come to stir up the great Empire:
In the Aegean Sea the impediments of wood
Obstructing the diverted Tyrrhenian Sea.
6.3 Great Empire, River
The river that tries the new Celtic heir
Will be in great discord with the Empire:
The young Prince through the ecclesiastical people
Will remove the scepter of the crown of concord.
6.23 Great Empire
"Coins depreciated by the spirit of the realm,"
And people will be stirred up against their King:
"New peace made, holy laws become worse,"
Paris was never in so severe an array.
6.67 Great empire
"Quite another one will attain to the great Empire,"
Kindness distant more so happiness:
"Ruled by one sprung not far from the brothel,"
Realms to decay great bad luck.
8.57 Empire of a simple soldier
"From simple soldier he will attain to Empire,"
from the short robe he will grow into the long.
"Brave in arms, much worse towards the Church,"
he vexes the priests as water fills a sponge.

It can be Trojan or Napoleon (most likely).
1.74 Empire, black
"After a rest they will travel to Epirus,"
great help coming from around Antioch.
"The curly haired king will strive greatly for the Empire,"
the brazen beard will be roasted on a spit.

Hannibal eventually.
3.28 Empire woman
"Of land weak and parentage poor,"
Through piece and peace he will attain to the empire.
"For a long time a young female to reign,"
Never has one so bad come upon the kingdom.
3.93 Leader of the Empire
In Avignon the chief of the whole empire
Will make a stop on the way to desolated Paris:
Tricast will hold the anger of Hannibal:
Lyons will be poorly consoled for the change.
3.59 Barbarian Empire
"Barbarian empire usurped by the third,"
The greater part of his blood he will put to death:
"Through senile death the fourth struck by him,"
For fear that the blood through the blood be not dead.
4.39 Arabic Empire
"The Rhodians will demand relief,"
Through the neglect of its heirs abandoned.
"The Arab empire will reveal its course,"
The cause set right again by Hesperia.
8.65 Twenty months Empire
"The old man disappointed in his main hope,"
will attain to the leadership of his Empire.
"Twenty months he will hold rule with great force,"
"a tyrant, cruel, giving way to one worse."
9.18 Voter of the empire
"The lily of the Dauphin will reach into Nancy,"
As far as Flanders the Elector of the Empire:
"New confinement for the great Montmorency,"
Outside proven places delivered to celebrated punishment.
8.20 Empire vote Faked
The false message about the rigged election
to run through the city stopping the broken pact;
"voices bought, chapel stained with blood,"
the empire contracted to another one.

Napoleon was elected with 3,6 millions votes drawn out of a hat. Then he ruined Europe, threw it on its knees, covered it with blood. His misdoings are still considered heroic by many nostalgic thinkers of the Republic in France and among third world naives that refuse to look at reality. England at the time of the Napoleonic invasions was very much more democratic than France and has remained so ever since. It is a fact that the French cannot see. The second Antichrist was French, and it is not impossible that a new one will come from there too.
9.45 Empire Mendosus
"None will remain to ask,"
Great Mendosus will obtain his dominion:
Far from the court he will cause to be countermanded
"Piedmont, Picardy, Paris, Tuscany the worst."
10.34 Empire Gauls (Roman Gauls), brother-in-law
"The Gaul who will hold the empire through war,"
He will be betrayed by his minor brother-in-law:
"He will be drawn by a fierce, prancing horse,"
The brother will be hated for the deed for a long time
10.87 Empire of death
"A Great King will come to take port near Nice,"
Thus the death of the great empire will be completed:
"In Antibes will he place his heifer,"
The plunder by sea all will vanish.
1.43 Change of Empire
Before the Empire changes
a very wonderful event will take place.
"The field moved, the pillar of porphyry"
"put in place, changed on the gnarled rock."
10.93 Empire transfered
"The new bark will take trips,"
There and near by they will transfer the Empire:
"Beaucaire, Arles will retain the hostages,"
"Near by, two columns of Porphyry found."
3.92 Empire transposed
"The world near the last period,"
Saturn will come back again late:
"Empire transferred towards the Dusky nation,"
The eye plucked out by the Goshawk at Narbonne.
4.65 Emperor condemned
"Towards the deserter of the great fortress,"
"After he will have abandoned his place,"
"His adversary will exhibit very great prowess,"
The Emperor soon dead will be condemned.
5.6 Emperor pacified
The Augur putting his hand upon the head of the King
Will come to pray for the peace of Italy:
"He will come to move the scepter to his left hand,"
From King he will become pacific Emperor.
