The Bush Barrow Chieftain lived and ruled in the area of Stonehenge around 2000 BC. He would have been the wealthiest man in the region at the time. This belief is evident due to the fact that he was buried with a wide array of highly valuable grave goods.

The Ritual of Oak and Mistletoe.

Druids would climb a sacred oak tree to cut down the mistletoe growing on it. Two white bulls would then be sacrificed and the mistletoe would be used to make an elixir that was believed to be a cure for both infertility and poison.
