Human history has examples of royal families claiming their
right to rule by claiming that they are the descendants of deities. For example, the ancient Egyptian royal family
was considered descendants of gods. Also,
the concept that the emperors and empresses of Japan are descended from gods
was enshrined in the Shinto religion.
This happened in Japan’s earliest histories, as well as in the 1889
Meiji Constitution. Article 3 of this
constitution stated in its entirety ‘The Emperor is sacred and inviolable’.
This background as a descendant of a deity would work with
the Noble background.
