The House of Bourbon-Anjou (Spanish: Casa de Borbón-Anjou),[1][2][3] is a branch of the House of Bourbon that has ruled Spain since the 18th century. It descends from the Capetian dynasty in male-line succession through Philip of Bourbon, Duke of Anjou, a younger grandson of Louis XIV of France (1638–1715) who established the Bourbon dynasty in Spain in 1700 as Philip V (1683–1746).
