The 'Divine Right of Kings' was a doctrine which asserted that the King at any given time was naturally God's Representative on Earth.
As time went by the Kings started to abuse their powers and this gave rise to discontent in the country and eventually the King's ministers grouped together and over-ruled the King, forming the first Parliament and thereby ending the Divine Right of Kings.
The original purpose in creating a Parliament was thus to end the Divine Right of Kings.
