Sacral Legitimacy

Sacral Legitimacy is a theoretical construct within the study of Sacred Kingship that denotes the divine or religious authorization underpinning a ruler’s political authority, distinguishing it from secular or legal-rational forms of legitimacy by grounding sovereign legitimacy in transcendent, often ritual-mediated, cosmic order.
