The ruler has to have the ability to assemble a coalition of supporters who give him an effective monopoly on power. "legitimacy" facilitates as an artificial limit on the number of competitors. But if you've got enough military power, or charisma, or if you're significantly less deranged than your competitors, or if there are other factors in play, "legitimacy" is optional. | |
