Why might Shakespeare have focused upon King Edward as a healer in Macbeth?

In Macbeth, Malcolm talks about Edward the Confessor's alleged ability to cure illness in Act IV Scene 3 in the middle of his conversation with Macduff. The purpose for injecting this observation a propos of nothing in the middle of the scene must be to contrast the Saintly Edward with Macbeth, and perhaps recall echoes of the Saintly Duncan. By contrast, Macbeth's faults are made to seem even more monstrous. And of course, this was all very politically correct at the time.
