The Bourbon Dynasty

The Bourbon Dynasty is a European royal family that originated in France. It rose to prominence in the late 16th century and became notable for ruling France, Spain, and other regions. The most famous Bourbon monarch is King Louis XIV, who reigned for 72 years and was known as the "Sun King." The dynasty played a significant role in European history, especially during the absolute monarchy era and the French Revolution. Today, descendants of the Bourbons still exist and are involved in various cultural and historical activities, although they no longer hold any political power in these countries.
