The story of this house

# House of Bourbon The Bourbon line spans 950 years and encompasses 163 individuals whose records survive, with births distributed across a period running from 1055 to 2005. Members were predominantly born in major European centers, with Madrid, Paris, and Versailles appearing most frequently among documented birthplaces. The geographic spread reflects a presence across France, Spain, and Italy, suggesting a far-flung family network maintained through this remarkably long timespan. The demographic profile shows an average lifespan of 45 years across the entire cohort, with considerable variation—some lived into their nineties while others had much shorter spans. This average reflects the historical reality of earlier centuries when mortality was higher, with conditions improving noticeably in more recent generations. The consistent use of the Bourbon surname throughout all 163 individuals indicates a stable family identity maintained across nearly a millennium of European history.
