- The house of Bourbon originated in France and is a part of the Capetian Dynasty. Over time, the house became one of the most important European dynasties and its members became kings of Navarre, France, Spain, the two Sicilies and Dukes of Parma. The name Bourbon derives from the castle now called Bourbon l'Archambault, which was attached to the dominion of Bourbonnais. The first ancestor of the Bourbon Dynasty is considered to be Adhémar, who was a viscount of Châtel-de-Neuvre. As merit for his loyalty, in 913 the French king Charles the Simple granted him several lands situated in Berry, Auvergne and Autunois, on the banks of the Allier.
Adhémar had four sons: Aymon I, who succeeded Adhémar as lord of Bourbon after his death in 953, Archimbald, Dagobert and Emmo.
In 1268, Adhémar's descendant Beatrix of Bourbon married Count Robert of Clermont, who was the sixth son of King Louis IX of France. Their son Louis became duke of Bourbon in 1327. Peter II of Bourbon married Anna of France in 1473 and became co-regent of France in 1483. After two centuries, however, the house lost the duchy of Bourbon, but in 1555 the Bourbon-Vendôme branch obtained rule over Navarre and in 1589 through Henry of Bourbon that over France, when Henry became Henri IV Of France and Navarre.
The Bourbon-Condé and Conti branches, who were called princes of the blood because they were branches of the family from before Henry IV's accession to the throne, never ruled France and the branches died out.
The Bourbons came to power in Spain when Philip V, who was a grandson of Louis XIV, ascended the spanish throne in 1700, after Charles II Of Spain died without offspring. With some interruptions, they have retained the spanish throne to this day. The kings of the two Sicilies (Bourbon-Sicily) and the Dukes of Parma (Bourbon-Parma) descended from the Spanish Branch of the Bourbon bloodline.

Interesting thanks for sharing.
My favorite monarch is Louis XIV I mean who would not admire him except the French themselves. One of the greatest monarchs of the world....
“Paris is worth a Mass.” -Henri IV
Thanks for sharing.
Henry IV is one of the most fascinating characters of the early modern period. He was a pragmatist, and saw the French as one people, undivided by religion. In an age of horrible violence, he sought to promote tolerance and understanding. In an age of absolute power, he cultivated an image of a courteous and we'll meaning ruler. And ultimately, he was killed by a man who could not understand the need for such a king. Truly remarkable story.
Thanks for watching !
My favorite period in French history! This was a great summary of the principal Bourbon monarchs. Have you done a video on the Affair of the Necklace? I'd be interested to hear about it in more detail.
Yes. It’s available on my channel.
This has to be absolutely one of your most brilliant, sweeping posts yet!
Glad you’re liking it.
I seriously feel very sad and sorry for king Louis XVI . Man he tried so hard to improve the already worsened conditions of France but the revolutionaries portrayed him badly and agitated people for execution. Heck the people outside Paris didn't even supported the revolution
Agreed.
Big facts. It was a major coup detat
I'm really enjoying this series!
So glad to hear that !
By the way I love your French accent you deffo have the best history telling voice I don’t know if I have already asked this but this is just a UA-cam idea I was wondering would you ever consider making a Pocahontas video one day I don’t know if I had asked months ago I can’t remember but it is a UA-cam idea that you might want to consider by the way great video love your videos from the Tudors to Anastasia Romanov to Marie Antoinette you deffo explore different royal monarchs around the world it would be nice if one day you explore Pocahontas maybe not in near future but it would be interesting
I'm not sure about Pocahontas because I know next to nothing about her. I think that most likely others can do her story more justice than I can...
Brilliant series. Thank you.
So glad you’re enjoying this
This dynasty and the Valois I found interesting. I always found how Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette died and now their poor children suffered. I wonder how different France would be if they still had their monarchy.
It would definitely have been a constitutional monarchy… other than that I’m not sure.. the revolution definitely shaped france so one can wonder.
@@TheKingsofFrance time to learn the truth. There would be no title of Louisiana if it weren't for prince Louis Joseph XVII being rescued from the dungeon cellars of his own castle by Napoleon. I am an a heir of King Louis Joseph Prince de comte/conti aka the lost dauphin
Such a fascinating presentation 🎉! Merci as always 🌸♥️!
Merci Christine 💐❤️
Such a good video! Poor Louis XVI didn't really stand a chance.
He did not… i feel sorry for him tbh…
Great presentation!..oh those Louis...^^
Lol indeed.
I know that Louis XIV is the Bourbon king everyone thinks of. And I understand why. But I find Henry IV fascinating. Living through the Wars of Religion would have been no easy thing. It's odd to think how religious his mother was and yet his destiny was to be a Catholic king. He even seems rather amiable. But in the end, even that didn't save him.
The greatest French monarch dynasty only after Charles the Great.
Louis XIV is the longest reigning monarch of a sovereign state, Sobhuza II has the longest verifiable reign at 82 years
Hey, it's been a week, and we're waiting for the new video.
Yes, I’m noticing there’s something wrong. i’ll look into it tomorrow.
So ironically, the French never allowed the kingship to descend from a female, yet they were more than happy to lap up other titles from females of other families
Thanks for watching.
Petit fils de France 💚💜💜
Here we are at the famous epoch!
Indeed. The most well known French dynasty..
Hi, awesome live history video I enjoyed it. How are you and Rani your cat doing? I'm doing well, my cat Benjamin says hi to you and cute Rani your cat he sends his purrs. My cat Benjamin turned seven years old this month. How old is Rani your cat? We have lots of nice weather here in Ontario Canada, how is your vacation? How is the weather there? Have a great day see you next video 😊
Rani will be 9 in september… we send our purrs to benjamin ❤️❤️❤️
Seeing the image of Louis XVI beheaded never fails to disgust me.
Phillip v is half Spanish your grandmother is Maria Teresa Princess of Spain and great grandson Felipe lv of Spain.
Thanks for commenting.
For me, Louis XIV's reign could be also labelled as La belle époque
Thanks for your comment !
I think Elezabeth 2nd of the UK reigned longer than the Sun King.
Not in France, though.
No she did not. She was the longest reigning woman, but Louis still holds the record.

You have a great channel . But , you are missing some people, like major people William of Orange ( Louis XIV 's greatest nemesis ) , John Churchill , First Duke of Marlborough , and Prince Eugene of Savoy .
Marlborough and Prince Eugene of Savoy opened some major cans of whoop ass on King Louis !
So much so , that they almost knocked him off of his throne .
And you don't even mention these guys ?
Are you kidding me ?
Disappointing. No words or pictures from the famous
Bourbon vanilla or even Bourbon whiskey...😂
Lol. Apologies.
Hello, kings of France. I already asked history calling this question, now, I'm asking you. If you were A queen during this time period. Which would you do: Take multiple lovers or get married ? I have A great day. 👍^_^
Depends on the situation I guess…
