"It appears from all this that the person of the king is sacred, and that it is a sacrilege to attack him. God has His prophets anoint them with a sacred unction, as He has His pontiffs and His altars anointed. But, even without the external application of this unction, their charge renders them sacred, as being the representatives of the divine majesty, delegated by His providence to the execution of His designs. It is thus that God Himself speaks of Cyrus as His anointedââhis right hand I have holden to subdue nations before him.â The title of Christ is given to kings; and everywhere we see them called the Christ, or the anointed of the Lord.â
Bishop Jacques-BĂ©nigne Bossuet, explaining the divine right of kings, 1678
