The House of Bourbon-Anjou, generally known as the House of Bourbon (Spanish: Casa de BorbĂłn), is the reigning house of the Kingdom of Spain. It is the Spanish branch of the French-Navarrese House of Bourbon. The house was founded on 16 November 1700, when Felipe, Duke of Anjou, great-nephew of Carlos II, formally accepted the Crown.
This royal family has reigned in Spain from 1700 to the present, with interruptions during the French invasion (1808–1813), Sexenio Democrático (1868–1874), Second Republic (1931–1939) and dictatorship of Francisco Franco (1939–1975). There have been eleven Spanish monarchs of the House of Bourbon-Anjou; the first was Felipe V and the current one, Felipe VI.
