"The House of Bourbon (English /brbn/; French pronunciation: {7f200b}[bu.b̃]) is a European royal house of French origin, a branch of the Capetian dynasty /kpi?n/. Bourbon kings first ruled Navarre and France in the 16th century. By the 18th century, members of the Bourbon dynasty also held thrones in Spain, Naples, Sicily, and Parma. Spain and Luxembourg currently have Bourbon monarchs."--Wikipedia.
