In the 1980s, Willem Nijenhuis argued that Hadrian Saravia was the only Elizabethan-era philosopher to articulate this doctrine. Scholarly interest in this doctrine was revived in the 19th century with John Figgis's intellectual history of it, a book that grew out of a debate he had with John Allen, who argued it was misconstrued with the right of discretion. Ernst Kantorowicz argued that this right was derived from the second of a certain person's "two bodies" in a 1957 book which makes reference to Richard Hooker, who rejected this doctrine in Book 8, Chapter 3 of his magnum opus. A treatise defending this doctrine states that Adam was the first ruler and that the first rulers were fathers of families. That book defending this doctrine, Robert Filmer's Patriarcha, was attacked by John Locke in his First Treatise on Government. For 10 points, name this doctrine which asserts that monarchs derive their authority from God.
