Bourbons of India

The Bourbons of India (French: Bourbons des Indes) are an Indian family who claim to be legitimate heirs of the House of Bourbon, descended from Jean Philippe de Bourbon, Count of Clermont-en-Beauvaisis, an exiled French noble who served in the Mughal emperor Akbar's court after landing in the country in 1560. The family is also known as the House of Bourbon-Bhopal, a name derived from the city of Bhopal in central India, where their last few generations resided and held positions in the pre-independent Indian Bhopal State royal court.
