Habsburg Dynasty and the Unified Spanish Crown
The modern Spanish monarchy traces its roots to the union of Castile and Aragon. The Habsburg dynasty ruled Spain from the early 16th century, with monarchs such as Charles I and Philip II expanding the empire across Europe and the Americas. Their family tree shows how intermarriage linked Spain to other European royal houses.
Bourbon Succession and Modern Lineage
After the last Habsburg king died without an heir, the Bourbon dynasty took the Spanish throne. The current line descends from Philip V, a French Bourbon prince. Succession rules, influenced by the Spanish Constitution, determine the order within the monarchs of Spain family tree today.
Current Royal Family and Succession
The reigning monarch is King Felipe VI, whose family tree includes his father Juan Carlos I and his daughter Princess Leonor, the heir presumptive. The line also includes the Queen Consort and other close relatives, all part of the official Spanish Royal Family.
