You are probably thinking of "divine right", the doctrine that Kings were appointed by God and owed nothing to anyone human. The kings most noted for this doctrine in England and France had their heads chopped off to prove that they were wrong. Sometimes we talk about people thinking they are entitled to something by "divine right", meaning that they do not recognize that it is a privilege they have to earn.
