borbón

Borbón is a Spanish word that refers to the House of Bourbon, a European royal house. The Bourbons are a cadet branch of the Capetian dynasty that ruled France. Their lineage traces back to Louis I de Bourbon, a grandson of King Louis IX of France. The family's most prominent claim to fame came with the accession of Henry IV of France in 1589, establishing the Bourbon monarchy in France. The French Bourbon line continued until the French Revolution and was later restored for periods.

In addition to France, the House of Bourbon also established itself on the throne of Spain. Philip V of Spain, a grandson of Louis XIV of France, became King of Spain in 1700. This event marked the beginning of the Spanish Bourbon dynasty, which has largely ruled Spain since, with interruptions. Branches of the Bourbon family also reigned in Naples, Sicily, and Parma. The current King of Spain, Felipe VI, is a member of the House of Bourbon. The legacy of the Bourbon dynasty is significant in the history of both France and Spain, influencing their political, social, and cultural development over centuries.
