Why might have Shakespeare have focused upon Edward as a healer?

Shakespeare may have referred to Edward the Confessor's healing powers (as part of Act IV Scene 3 of Macbeth) for a number of reasons, all of which involve a comparison between Edward and Macbeth. Macbeth seeks help from witches and their familiar spirits who tell the future; Edward "solicits heaven" "with holy prayers" which give him "a heavenly gift of prophecy". Macbeth kills; Edward heals. Macbeth is Scottish (boo!) and Edward is English (yay!). Many scholars have noted that Malcolm's triumph at the end of the play is accomplished with the aid of Siward and his English troops, and almost his first act is to abolish the Scottish title "thane" and replace it with the English title "earl". The Anglicisation of Scotland is seen as a good thing from the point of view of the English nationalist Shakespeare, and the comparison of Macbeth and Edward forms a part of this.


What are two ways King Edward of England is a foil for Macbeth?

King Edward is portrayed as a healer, whereas Macbeth is portrayed as delivering death. Edward has "a heavenly gift of prophecy" which he gets from "holy prayers", whereas Macbeth has no gift of prophecy, and the prophecies he gets from the witches are deceptions.
