I find only one thing inexact. There should be a cloud somewhere over the king with gilded characters saying "God".

Meh, that's the heavenly kingdom. Doesn't give or take anything so it was left out of the diagram, though I like this very much. It gives me more of an insight on the situation. I never really studied about the structure of the medieval society in dept so I'm a little bit ignorant when it comes to that. As for other stuff, I'm more or less moderate. I do my research :)

Was just doing some irony, don't worry :P
The fact is that before the 17th century none questions on the nature of royal power. It was given for granted that it came directly from God.
