# Charles IX appoints Nostredame physician-in-ordinary during the 1564 royal progress in Provence Date: 1564 ## The fact Britannica states that Charles IX appointed him physician-in-ordinary in 1564. Charles IX’s own page independently records the young king in those years under Catherine’s influence. It is one event. ## Context A named court physician is a health-office heading of limited population reach. Plague practice of 1546 is earlier and local. The title does not validate quatrains. Shared court physicians remain unnamed here. [Nostradamus](/people/nostradamus)’s documented role is bounded by other offices and collaborators named in the sources below. Sharing a field with them is not a reason to drop a documented act, and it is not a reason to assign later consequences done in the name after death. Britannica dates the physician-in-ordinary appointment to 1564. Later telling adds counsellor of the queen mother. The royal tour of the kingdom after the first religious war is the political frame. He did not become a minister of public health. Named person as heading of the dated public instrument. Later editors, museums, printers, or offices share publication. Complex where later carriers are the surviving public file. ## Evidence and sources Britannica — Charles IX and Britannica — Nostradamus independently describe this instrument. Official or archival record: Britannica — Charles IX (https://www.britannica.com/biography/Charles-IX-king-of-France; Encyclopaedia Britannica). ## Significance A 1564 ordinary-physician title is a health-capacity path of high confidence on the appointment in standard lives, low on unique mortality effects. ## What is established and what is not Established as a sourced public record of this instrument at the date assigned here. What would change the picture: a contradictory original with a different date or name, or a measured series that can be argued, with lag and alternatives, as a consequence of this instrument rather than of later institutions. The date is the date of this instrument, not a licence to back-date every later harm or benefit. Established here: a sourced, dated public instrument with a named contribution by Nostradamus. They are not a public rating. The driver `health-system-capacity` is attached because the mechanism named in Significance follows from this instrument, not because a standing list of welfare headings needed another tick. Nostradamus did not file a later UNESCO form, a later Loeb colophon, or a later museum label as a personal act. A portrait or conventional bust is not this mechanism. Allegation, reconstruction, and established occurrence stay distinct. Do not back-date 1564 to 1556. Do not treat the title as proof of prophecy. Keep the carrier date of later English distinct from the received historical year stored in the date field. Do not read a later English edition as a recovered autograph of Nostradamus. ## People - Nostradamus: https://factrail.ai/people/nostradamus ## Drivers - Health-System Capacity: https://factrail.ai/drivers/health-system-capacity ## Sources - https://www.britannica.com/biography/Charles-IX-king-of-France - https://www.britannica.com/biography/Nostradamus ## Methodology https://factrail.ai/methodology Canonical: https://factrail.ai/facts/nos-charles-ix-physician-1564
