First published in English in 1973, The Royal Touch explores the
supernatural character that was long attributed to royal power.
Throughout history, both France and England claimed to hold kings
with healing powers who, by their touch, could cure people from all
strands of society from illness and disease. Indeed, the idea of
royalty as something miraculous and sacred was common to the whole
of Western Europe. Using the work of both professional scholars and
of doctors, this work stands as a contribution to the political
history of Europe.
