I once heared the version “The King can not do unright” - I can not retract the source for this version – may anyone could help? Rheinlaender Joined on Fri, Jun 17 2005 New Member 02

Moreover, since the king is vicar of God on earth, he ought to separate right from unright, fair from unfair http://www.galileolibrary.com/history/history_page_92.htm For more on Henry de Bracton: http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/02726c.htm abbie1948 Joined on Thu, Mar 24 2005 England Senior Member 2,657 Hope that helps.

England's King Charles I followed suit and proclaimed that he ruled by Divine Right of Kings. Central to this philosophy is that the King can do no wrong. rwiles Joined on Thu, May 26 2005 Live in England work in Germany Full Member 144 Gott weiß ich will kein Engel sein
