Summary/Abstract: The legitimation of the title of monarch, from ancient times, depended on the divine will. During the medieval period, the movement for the renewal of common law meant that jurists harmonized legal concepts. From the fourteenth century the vision of the legal world was going to be overcome to form a new order. The doctrinal works of the modern era would describe a prince or sovereign who should be a model of virtue, who governed a society that gave his consent. It reaches a moment of maturity of the Hispanic Monarchy. With the arrival of the contemporary era, characterized by rationalism, the Monarchy will have a symbolic character, since the power of the prince was questioned after the French Revolution and the establishment of the constitutional movement.
