It's called the Divine Right or Kings. It's based on the belief that monarchs receive their power directly from God, therefore are responsible to no one expect God.

The theory was called the Divine Right of Kings.
It is the theory that the Monarch's Power comes from God, rather than his subjects, and that to challenge that power is a crime.
