Isn’t the point of the whole “divine right of kings” that the kings actions follow the will of god? Or worded a bit differently, that a king works as a god’s proxy.
This would mean that taking land for the crown means taking it in the name of god, right?

I think so for sure. But who knows what someone who wants to defend a god or their favorite country might want to imply by extension.
