# Public English De regno prints kingly rule as ordered to the common good, not to private will

Date: 1920

## The fact

De regno (De regno ad regem Cypri), in public English and Latin digital corpora, prints that a king is for the common good and that tyranny is a deviation. The dated carriers are Corpus Thomisticum and encyclopedia pages. It is not a parliament. It is a limit-heading on personalised rule.

## Context

Common-good kingship can bless hierarchy. Split absolutist uses.

[Thomas Aquinas](/people/thomas-aquinas) is not the sole author of every later object, law, or museum label that uses the name. Shared work with courts, excavators, printers, spouses, officials, and later states does not erase a documented role, and it does not make an ancient person the signer of a twentieth-century statute.

## Evidence and sources

Official edition, Holy See, or archive page and an independent publisher independently describe this instrument.

Official or archival record: Corpus Thomisticum (https://www.corpusthomisticum.org/; Corpus Thomisticum / Fundación Tomás de Aquino).

## Significance

Printed anti-tyranny kingship is a resilience-adjacent heading, not a ballot.

## What is established and what is not

Established as a dated public record of this instrument.

What would change the picture: a contradictory original with a different date or name, or a measured series that can be argued, with lag and alternatives, as a consequence of this instrument rather than of later institutions.

The date is the date of this instrument, not a licence to back-date every later harm or benefit.
