There's no definitive answer as to what poison 'hebenon' is supposed to refer to; possible candidates being hemlock, yew, henbane, guaiac, or some combination thereof.

Note the words of importance: Leperous: Relating to, or resembling leprosy; having loose, scurfy scales. Posset and curd ... the thin and wholesome blood: Seems to be describing hypercoagulation; sudden blood-clotting. Tetter: A skin condition with reddish vesicular eruptions and intense itching. Lazar-like: Again relating to leprosy, from Lazarus, the beggar full of sores in a New Testament parable (Luke 16:20). I'm not sure what specific cause of ailment the AI has extrapolated from the text, but it's reasonable to assume that a Danish king from the late Middle Ages wouldn't be quite so adept at such rapid self-diagnosis in his dying moments.
