HOUSE OF BOURBON
 

The Bourbons were and still are nobles that originated in France, where the castle of Bourbon was their home.

One of the most famous family members was Louis XIV.

By the way, Bourbon whiskey derives its name from Bourbon county, Kentucky. These royals here had nothing to do with it.
