Bourbon succession

Bourbon succession refers to the sequence of inheritance within the Bourbon family, a political and royal dynasty that originated in France. It follows a specific royal inheritance law called primogeniture, typically passing the throne down to the eldest son. If no son exists, it may go to the closest male relative, such as a brother or nephew. This system has influenced the royal successions in countries like Spain and France. Over time, laws were revised to include broader eligibility, but the core idea remains: leadership passes through a designated line of family members, maintaining the dynasty’s continuity.
