It’s about the divine right of kings, you probably know the Chinese version which is the mandate of heaven
The divine right of kings was a political and religious doctrine that asserted monarchs derived their authority directly from God, not from the people or any earthly authority.[2][3] It held that kings were accountable only to God and rebellion against them was a sacrilegious act.[2][3]
The key principles were:
Monarchs were ordained by God to rule and were not subject to the will of the people, aristocracy, or church.[2][3]
Any attempt to depose or restrict the monarch’s powers went against God’s will and constituted treason.[2][3]
The monarch was accountable only to God, not to any earthly authority.[2][3]
The doctrine emerged in Europe during the medieval period, rooted in the idea that God bestowed earthly power to kings, just as He gave spiritual authority to the church.[3] It gained prominence under monarchs like James I of England and Louis XIV of France in the 16th-17th centuries, justifying their absolute authority in political and spiritual matters.[2][3]
