They have to have lived between the late 1600s and the early 1700s. I already have Louis XIV.

Frederick William I (August 14, 1688 – May 31, 1740) of the House of Hohenzollern, was the King in Prussia from 1713 until his death. He is popularly known as "the Soldier-King". He was the father of Frederick "the Great".

Peter "the great" of Russia also fits this time period well.
(9 June 1672 – 8 February 1725)

Habsburgs Leopold I (1657-1705) of Austria followed by Emperor Charles VI (1711-1740) were also divine Right monarchs.

You won't find a Divine Right ruler in England/Great Britain is this time period unless you count the restored Stuart king Charles II (1660-1685).

I'm not sure what spreedog means when he says that no British monarch after the Restoration was a Divine Right monarch. The entire basis for the British monarchy was, is and has always been that an individual was king or queen 'by the grace of God'. In fact, DG (Dei Gratia) still appears on our coinage to this day. Although after the Restoration, the monarchical powers were gradually eroded away still, in theory, British monarchs are still appointed to rule by divine governance.
