Good evening,

The divine right to rule is usually a political and religious doctrine of royal and political justification. It asserts that a monarch is not subject to any earthly authority, deriving the right to rule directly from the will of God.

I hope this answer has satisfied your needs, and if you have anymore questions to ask, feel free to ask.

Have a good night!
