I think that it's more than evident that the actions of the White Knights are those of a coup d'etat against King Vallance.

If Vallance was ill, then Prince Anlaf or some other high ranking courtier would adopt a role as Regent to rule in the King's stead. Instead, the White Knights have not only assumed this role, but triggered a civil war in order to promote their political power. The fact Anlaf stands in opposition to this is somewhat evidence.
