Catherine the Great was known as an "Enlightened Despot," because she reigned during the Age of the Enlightenment when she and other monarchs like her such as Frederick the Great and Joseph II, began to understand the concepts of reason, natural law and other ideas being developed at the time by various philosophers. Most importantly, the "enlightened despot" realized that even though she or he had monarchic powers, they had an obligation to use those powers for the good of their subjects rather than just for themselves.
The major enlightened despots were Frederick the Great of Prussia, Catherine the Great of Russia and Joseph II of Austria.

Because of the numerous reforms which she made to Russia during her reign, however she wasn't a total despot because she let the nobels ginfluence her decisions greatly. It had nothing to do with the fact she was married to Peter III - she had her lover murder him so that she could become ruler.
