I just though of a prime example of an absolute Monarchy in Tamriel. The Empire. The Emperor has absolute power. Though he does have the Elder Council to advise him. Like some kings in the Late Middle Ages, when there was Absolute Monarchies, had Parliaments. Though depending on the King they were or weren't more powerful than the Parliament. In the case of the Empire since the Emperor has the final word in everything then I assume he has more power than the Elder Council, which makes him a absolute monarch.
