That title was the first one born by Robert, younger son of Louis IX and founder of the Bourbon branch, and was the usual title of the eldest son of the duc de Bourbon in the 14th and 15th c.

 Jim Beam review by Alternative Whisky Academy Presents / Reviews : Jim Beam   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
In order for a spirit to be called a straight bourbon whiskey, it must be made from a fermented mash of no less than 51% corn and aged for at least two years (Jim Beam is aged a minimum of four years) in a new charred oak barrel.
Actually, the ubiquitous use of the word "bourbon" to describe the dominant style of U.S. straight whiskey is a fairly recent phenomenon, owing in no small part to the rivalry between the two largest producers, Jim Beam and Brown- Forman.
All of the U.S. straight whiskey it sells is bourbon and it invests considerable resources in promoting "bourbon" as synonymous with quality and authenticity, tweaking their rivals in the process.

 House of Bourbon
The House of Bourbon dates back to at least the beginning of the 13th century, when the estate of Bourbon was ruled by a Lord, vassal of France.
Though his line was dispossessed of the dukedom after two centuries, the junior line of the Counts of La Marche acquired the Dukedom of Vendôme. The Bourbon-Vendôme branch became the ruling house of first Navarre (1555) and then of France (1589), under Henry de Bourbon.
However the stubborn Chambord refused to accept the throne unless France abandoned the revolution-inspired tricolore and accepted what he regarded as the true Bourbon flag of France, something the French National Assembly could not possibly agree to.
