Fighting about whether a Theban noble house or a Herakleopolitan noble house will supply the next Pharaoh of Egypt, or whether a king can decree laws regulating the priesthood or whether only the church has that authority, seem more typical over history. Revolutionaries crowning a new emperor is hardly inconsistent with revolution in general, even if it's inconsistent with ideals that have animated some revolutions.<br /><br />Whether revolutionaries are egalitarians or merely seek a change in the arrangement of hierarchal modes of domination, though, I've never heard of a revolution in which the victors place themselves into subjection.
