abstract
| - The Basileus governs and represents the absolute power in the countries of Ruthenia and Thracia, the origin to The term is given by the Ecumenical Patriarchate by divine right, become the "living law" and the absolute power of all Ruthenes with the power and responsability of protection of Ruthene people and heritage, according to words of Gennadios III, "The Basileus is an autocratic and unrestricted monarch. To obey his supreme authority, not only out of fear but out of conscience as well, God himself commands" The reason for this is that it designates more the person of king than the office of king: the power of magistrates (arkhontes, "archons") derives from their social functions or offices, whereas the sovereign derives his power from himself. Sovereigns have auctoritas, whereas magistrates detain imperium. Nikolaos Choniates aimed at creating a theory of sovereignty completely enfranchised from laws, being itself the only source of legitimacy. He goes so far as qualifying the Basileus as nomos empsykhos, or "living law".
