From the Middle Ages in England and France it was believed that scrofula or "the King's Evil" could be cured by the touch of royalty; ceremonies were held in which the King would touch and "heal" hundreds of afflicted subjects. <br/>By the late 1400s it was believed that one could also be cured by touching a type of coin called an angel which had been touched by the monarch. After angels ceased to be minted in the 1620s the same effect was said to be achieved by touching a gold medallion embossed much like the old coin.<br/>Some monarchs touched many people. King Henry IV of France touched up to 1500 at one time. The last English monarch to carry out this practice was Queen Anne who died in 1714 but it continued in France. Louis XV touched more than 2000 scrofula sufferers and the last French monarch to do this was Charles X in 1825 Science Museum London. Cf. F Barlow "The King's Evil"Â The English Historical Review 95/374 January 1980 pp 3-27; M BlochThe Royal Touch: Sacred Monarchy and Scrofula in England and France London: Routledge & Kegan Paul 1973.<br/>The present broadside setting the dates for such ceremonies is rare on the market: no copies are listed for sale and none have appeared at auction. It also is signed in type by Lord Chief Justice George Jeffryes sic "The Hanging Judge" amongst others.<br/>An interesting manuscript note in a contemporary hand at the lower margin with significant loss calls the attention of "All Parsons Vicars and Curates" to the regulations set forth in the broadside.
