Bourbon family
The Bourbon family is a European royal house that originated in France. It was established in the late 13th century and became one of the most influential dynasties in European history. The Bourbons ruled France for several periods, including the reign of Louis XIV, known as the Sun King, who significantly expanded the monarchy's power.
The Bourbon family also played a crucial role in other countries, including Spain, where they have been the ruling dynasty since the early 18th century. The family's influence extended to Italy and Luxembourg, among others, shaping the political landscape of Europe through marriages and alliances.
