One of Plato's theories to back on his idea of Philosopher Kings ruling society for the people. The basic idea is that, if you had a horse which was to be trained you would take it to a competent horse trainer, rather than just handing it to the first person you saw or having a mass vote on how the horse should be trained. This analogy was then to be applied to politics whereby, only those who knew about politics should rule, rather than allowing everyone to have a direct say as to how things would be run within a country. The people Plato saw as being fit to run any country were the Philosopher Kings.

It was Plato. He elaborated it in a book called The Republic.
The idea that kings and queens ruled by the will of God was called the divine right of kings. This concept held that monarchs derived their authority directly from God, and therefore their rule was considered absolute and beyond challenge.
