Taboo on rulers
The taboo on rulers includes both taboos on people coming into contact with a ruler and the taboos on the ruler himself.
==Examples==
* The Nubas of East Africa believe that they would die if they entered the house of their priestly king; however they can evade the penalty of their intrusion by baring the left shoulder and getting the king to lay his hands on it.〔Freud (1950, 41–42), quoting Frazer (1911, 132).〕
* In West Africa, at Shark Point near Cape Padron, in Lower Guinea, lives the priestly king Kukulu, alone in a wood. He may not touch a woman or leave his house; indeed he may not even quit his chair, which he is obliged to sleep sitting, for if he lay down no wind would rise and navigation would be stopped.〔Frazer (1911, 3f.), quoting Bastian (1874-5 (287 & 355 )).〕
* The ancient kings of Ireland were subject to a number of strange restrictions as listed in The Book of Rights. The king, for instance, may not stay in a certain town on a particular day of the week; he may not cross a river on a particular hour of the day; he may not encamp for nine days on a certain plain, and so on.〔Frazer (1911, 11f.).〕
