That's gotta be Sir Theodore de Mayerne, bio by Trevor-Roper. Interesting stuff: "Indeed, he created the recipe for the coronation oil with which Charles I was anointed. This same recipe has been used ever since, including during the coronation of Elizabeth II."

True!

In USAn presidential elections, we're used to the winning candidate not getting the most votes. Name a baseball team that won a world series but did not get the most runs--no, did not get half as many runs.
