		By the time of Henry II (who died in 1189) an historian wrote that, "the king is himself holy; he is the Anointed of the Lord"; the proof of this was that God used him to heal sufferers of their scrofula.
		Connected to this was the limiting of prayer for healing scrofula to the monarchs of France and England, who were regarded as having the privileged power due to their sacred royal anointing by a Pope or bishop, coupled to their descent as first-born of their royal family.
