absolute vs. hereditary monarchy
"An absolute monarchy is a country that is ruled by a hereditary monarch, with little or no democratic or other forms of limitation to his powers. "
An example for an absolute monarchy in Europe is the [[Vatican City]], where the monarch, i.e. the [[pope]] is elected... So, being hereditary isn't necessary for the existence of an absolute monarchy.
