A figurehead monarch, as source of [[Legitimacy (political)|legitimacy]] and possibly [[Divine right of kings|divine reign]], has been the used [[form of government]] in several situations and places of history. |
|||
}} |
|||
There are two basic forms of using puppets as monarchs (rulers, kings, emperors): |
|||
* A figurehead in which the monarch is a puppet of another person or a group in the country who rules instead of the nominal ruler. |
|||
* A [[puppet government]] under a foreign power. |
|||
Examples of the first type are the [[Emperor of Japan|Emperors]] who were the puppets of the [[shōgun]]s of Japan and the kings who were the puppets of the [[Mayor of Palace]] in the [[Frankish kingdom]]. Client kingdoms under the [[Roman Republic]] and [[Roman Empire]] and the [[British Empire]]'s [[colonialism|colonial]] relationship with [[King Farouk]] of Egypt in the 1950s are examples of the second type. |
