What does enlightened despot mean in history

The despot has decided to control all television stations in his nation.When the despot started killing random school children in his small country, the united nations sent in forces to remove him from power.Enlightened despotism, or enlightened absolutism, is a political concept that merges the political structure of the absolute monarchy with values.Enlightened despots held that royal power emanated not from divine right but from a social contract whereby a despot was entrusted with the power to govern in lieu of any other governments.I am not aware of any real and verifiable examples, but if we take certain versions of the history of aelfred the great of england as true, he might have.

In effect, the monarchs of enlightened absolutism strengthened their authority by improving the lives of their subjects.
