Well, that also overlaps greatly with autocratic monarchy. For example, autocracy limited by Orthodox teaching and local custom was the tradition of the Russian Empire.

It all depends on the era and what not. Also the moniker of traditional monarchy is also used more when said monarchy is in fact limited, but ha no constituition. But that has nothing to do with the definition, it's merely the colloquial usage...

For myself, a more authoritarian New Deal America, but more liberal Iberian corporatist dictatorships of Franco and Salazar.

Peter the Great attempted to subvert any and all limitations to his authority. But this is a tangent, so I'll end discussion here.

But that has nothing to do with the definition, it's merely the colloquial usage... I don't think that is the colloquial usage of "traditional monarchy". Autocracy is the traditional form of monarchy in Russia, and it dates to even the pre-Christian times. Russia has known no other type of monarchy, and autocracy is closely tied to the Russian ethnic spirit. Also, nationalism is often confused with traditionalism, but in actuality nationalism is a radical theory that is diametrically opposed to traditionalism. Nationalism is one of the three "Demons of Modernity" unleashed by the French Revolution - the others being Egalitarianism and Atheism (- metaphorically representing nihilism/moral relativism).
