Taboos regarding rulers includes both taboos on people coming into contact with a ruler and the taboos regarding the ruler themselves. == 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.
