Who were the French Bourbons? What did they do?
the Bourbons were (and still are) a European royal family which has its roots in northern France. They were the last ruling dynasty of the French Monarchie, and although the monarchy was abolished in France, members of the House of Bourbon still sit on the thrones of Spain and Luxembourg. There currently are several members of the Bourbon family who claim Monarchial rights as the true “kings” of France.
