It wasn't exactly a boil. It was a wound that wouldn't heal. He also had gout. A type of arthrits that cause pain and swelling and inflammation that statrs at the toes and goes up the leg . He had alot of health problems in his last years, but considering how he treated his wives, it's kind of hard to feel sorry for him.

He had a jousting accident and his armor penetrated deep into his leg. An ulcer developed and due to the primitive medical knowledge the problem was not properly taken care of.

He also suffered from type two diabetes (unknown to them then) which made the healing process VERY hard for his body. The initial leg injury seems to be a turning point in his life, so far as his health was concerned.
